Dana Watkins
CEPA, Business Advisor

Dana Watkins
CEPA, Business Advisor
As CEO of Due North Enterprisis, Dana understands business owners often spend decades of their life pouring blood, sweat, and tears into their companies. Yet only 20-30% of companies that go up for sale, actually succeed in selling. With years of expertise in banking, financial planning, buy-side, and sell-side M&A, Dana helps owners prepare their companies for sale, increases the probability of successfully selling, and helps owners unlock the wealth in the business for retirement or the next project. This is achieved through targeted improvements and financial strategies that increase the attractiveness of a company to buyers. Dana specializes in creating strategic exit plans by working closely with clients to assess their needs, increase business value, construct succession strategies, and optimize tax outcomes while ensuring you’re ready for a smooth and successful exit when the time comes. In her personal life, Dana enjoys time with her family of five children, boating, and traveling.
