The Foundation
of WM
The world’s leading businesses put finance at the heart of performance, demanding rigor, accuracy and consistency. They derive insight and foresight from hindsight and maintain a clear perspective on risk, opportunity and impact. Achieving such clarity is made possible through a strategic partnership with an advisor who has the experience, expertise and intelligence to see you through – an advisor like WilliamsMarston.
Landen Williams and Jon Marston founded WilliamsMarston in Boston in 2014, with the belief that middle-market companies, their investors and lenders were underserved in the accounting advisory space. Traditional firms were falling short in delivering value for transformational companies that needed to move swiftly, efficiently and with clear and actionable guidance.
With clear goals and limited resources, WM landed projects early on helping biotechnology and software companies prepare for their initial public offerings. Within a few months, WM began hiring full-time employees and moved into a modest office space. Two years later, the firm expanded to New York and further enhanced its offerings to include technical accounting, mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, private equity services, interim management and restructuring.
WM’s growth accelerated, marked by multiple acquisitions and a swift evolution into serving as a leading national provider of complex accounting, tax and valuation advisory services to companies across a variety of industries worldwide.
