About Us
We guide our clients with integrity and Wall Street-level expertise.
A Legacy of Trusted Guidance
Founded in 1994 as Christenberry Collet & Co., our firm launched to advise transactions for family and founder-owned companies in the Midwest. In 2009, we joined a regional bank and became CC Capital Advisors. Today, we are back to independence as Turnstone Investment Banking.
Today At Turnstone
At Turnstone Investment Banking, we strive to guide our clients with expertise gained through our collective years of experience advising business owners through the most important business transactions of their lives, whether it be the sale of a company, an acquisition, or capital that will drive a company’s growth. We understand the gravity of our work, and it is what motivates us to deliver exceptional results.
“Just as the products and services provided by Wall Street have changed in the last 30 years since we started Christenberry Collet & Co., so have the skillsets needed to provide those services. Fortunately, we have been able to recruit and retain top-quality investment banking talent needed to best serve our clients.”
