Shaun Neff commented, “We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship with Moss Adams over the past several years, and they have provided excellent advice as Neff has grown rapidly. Based on the strength of this relationship, we engaged Moss Adams Capital to help us find a strong partner. Rich Anderson and Geoff Haydon were awesome to work with and brought a number of excellent investors to the table. Joe and I really appreciated how much Rich and Geoff were personally committed to getting us the best deal possible.”
Joe Neff, Shaun’s father, added, “The Moss Adams folks worked as a team during the process, with Rich and Geoff getting assistance along the way from Frank Kaufman (audit) and Alan Villanueva (tax). They work well together and we were very pleased with the services we got from Moss Adams.”
