Michael Vaccarella leads Wipfli’s Private Equity and Transaction Advisory Services team. Humbly, beginning his career in audit, he evolved to start a Private Equity and Transaction Advisory Services offering in 2009. After the 2008 financial crisis, he saw the need for middle market business owners to be ready to transact with future investors – Private Equity, Family Offices, or other Strategic Acquirers. Today, Michael serves his clients well by educating, scripting, and building a QoE process that drives readiness and value for businesses and ownership. He provides client relationship support through buy-side and sell-side transaction diligence and consulting for private equity funds, portfolio holdings, family offices, and corporations. Michael works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. He seamlessly coordinates with Wipfli’s audit, accounting, and tax teams, as well as Wipfli Corporate Finance Advisors, LLC for streamlined responsiveness.
