"As a founder, going through the acquisition process is challenging in general, especially when ensuring a cultural fit. Cedar made many promises over the months we talked and asked us to hold them accountable if they ever deviated. I can affirm that they kept their promises. This acquisition enabled Omnyon to grow significantly, achieve record-level retention, and improve our culture post-acquisition—outcomes I never imagined possible. I thank them for our partnership and our ability to work together toward common goals to ensure that our employees and customers receive a quality experience."

"As a founder of the company, my goal was to always look after each employee's past, present, and future. Going through the acquisition phase for the first time is a difficult and challenging task. You can ask Cedar all the questions you want and have all your questions answered. However, there is still some level of uncertainty. But, since being acquired by Cedar, those uncertainties have dissipated. The transitioning phase is tough, but when people do what they say they are going to do, it makes the collaboration both exciting and enjoyable. This collective and collaborative chance we took on each other has maintained the integrity of the company and therefore, it has been an amazing experience for the entire M2 family."

"I've been thoroughly impressed by the Cedar team's ability to significantly enhance our business without compromising our culture. We welcomed a VP of Operations who has refined our business practices, professionalized our business development pipeline, and forged partnerships with other Cedar businesses to capitalize on growth opportunities. Cedar has consistently honored their commitment of operating in a decentralized manner, which has allowed us to preserve our small company ethos and maintain high retention rates."

"Partnering with Cedar has been a greater success than even anticipated. They support us when we need them but otherwise take a hands-off approach, allowing Bestgate to operate with full independence. Their leadership team is sharp, approachable, and refreshingly transparent. Cedar's employee-first culture aligns directly with ours, fostering a shared commitment to people and purpose. Additionally, their extensive and growing partnership network has enhanced our market intelligence, giving us a clearer view of opportunities ahead."

"Cedar delivers a truly unique acquisition strategy to the market. Their thoughtful and curious approach perfectly complements our drive for improvement and success, creating a winning partnership. Since partnering, we’ve been able to preserve our culture, brand, and identity—a result I couldn’t have imagined achieving. I couldn’t ask for a better relationship."

"Cedar aligns well with LT Consulting's value system as a small company within the government space. It's a values-oriented company with high integrity. These specific attributes alone made it easy to partner with Cedar for our future. Post closing has been almost identical to the diligence process; seamless and a ton of support from the Cedar leadership team. We could not have dreamed of a better partner!"
