Generational Group Expands with New Office in Kansas City, MO

Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately held, middle market businesses, is pleased to announce the continued expansion of the firm with the opening of a new office in Kansas City, Missouri. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, the firm now has 13 offices in North America.

The new office is led by Andrew Byrd. Mr. Byrd serves as Senior Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions in the Central region at Generational, and works directly with privately held, middle market businesses in developing and executing successful exit strategies. Byrd’s focus is connecting Generational clients with the right buyers at an optimal price and deal structure.

Prior to working with Generational, Andrew worked independently at a local M&A firm that specialized in the marketing and sale of main-street and lower middle market businesses throughout the Kansas City area. During that time he was instrumental in the preparation, marketing, negotiations, and due diligence process of numerous successful deal closings for a variety of businesses. Andrew also previously owned his own firm specializing in business formation as well as advising hundreds of clients on ideal corporate structures. He is licensed as a commercial real estate broker in Missouri and as a commercial agent in Kansas.

Mr. Byrd is passionate about his work and enjoys partnering with clients to achieve their personal goals and objectives. In addition, he is active in his community volunteering at local Kansas City charities and organizations that help the homeless.

Andrew Byrd earned his JD/MBA with a concentration in Finance from Oklahoma City University and his BSBA in Finance from University of Central Missouri.

“This new office is part of our strategy to enhance our deal making capabilities for companies in the Midwest, including the significant base of infrastructure, logistics and engineering firms in the region,” said Brenen Hofstadter, Chief M&A Officer of Generational. “This location, along with the other offices we have added the past two years, bolsters our presence and improves our ability to service our clients in the Midwest.”
