Meet Jim Bates, Partner

Jim Bates has spent his career helping business owners understand what their companies are worth — and sell on their terms. He is the co-author of Business Valuation For Dummies (Wiley & Sons), the plain-English standard on how private businesses are actually valued, and a co-founder of Sports Club Advisors.

Like every principal at Jackim Woods & Co., Jim brings senior-level attention to every engagement — the partners collectively carry over 55 years of M&A experience, and every engagement is run by a principal, not handed down.
