2022 Nolan Year in Review

Short years.

I was in a meeting recently when the folks around the room were discussing the joys and tolls of parenthood. One gentlemen threw out an expression that I had never heard and it summarized my current view of life as well as any words could. He said, “The days are long and the years are short."

On both a personal and professional level we repeatedly pack a lot into 24 hours and before we realize it another year has passed. Such is the case with 2022. As our team members at Nolan come up for air to reflect on this most recent year gone by, it is humbling to see the results. We attempted to capture some of the highlights within this Annual Report. I am excited to share this with all of the people who keep us thriving: our team members, clients, capital sources and network of professional advisors.

Let us make the most of each day in 2023 because we’ll be in Annual Report mode again for 2024 before you know it.

Cheers!

Patrick

In November, the M&A Advisor announced Nolan as the winner of “The Information Technology/Software Deal of the Year” in the $50 to $100 million category at the 21st Annual M&A Advisor Awards. Nolan served as the exclusive sell side advisor to Horizon Lab Systems in its sale to Clinisys for the winning deal.

Brett Pantazi, Nolan firm Managing Director and Partner, led the Horizon Lab Systems and Clinisys transaction and accepted the award at a sold-out and energetic gathering at The New York Athletic Club.

In August, Inc. revealed that Nolan ranked No. 820 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses.

“We are honored that we’ve ranked No. 820 on the Inc. 5000 among America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies. This is the second year in a row we’ve appeared on this list. Our team’s momentum for 2022 and beyond is strong and we continue to provide desired outcomes for our business owner and corporate M&A clients,” said Patrick Nolan, President, Nolan & Associates.
