Chris E. Talis
CPA, MBA and Senior Partner at Hedgerow Mergers & Acquisitions
Chris Talis is my guest in this episode of The Smallbiz Brain.
Mr. Talis, Hedgerow founder and Senior Partner, has intimately dealt with the vital issues surrounding middle market
companies his entire career. His diverse background includes business consultancy; debt and equity placements; business
valuation; mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; financial analysis; succession planning; and exit strategies.
His career began at Campos Stratis, a world-renowned forensic accounting firm; he then expanded to Merrill Lynch in Foreign
Securities. Mr. Talis later became controller for a middle-market industrial machine distributor, and served as Director and
Treasurer for this multi-state corporation. Thereafter, he co-founded Zisa Talis, a New Jersey accounting partnership and
subsequently formed his own accounting and consultancy firm offering wide ranging services and solutions to its client base
of companies, entrepreneurs, professionals and celebrities.
Mr. Talis has personally refinanced troubled companies, directed a management buyout and most recently completed the equity
placement of SANpulse Technologies, a SAN consulting concern where he is an equity holder and sits on the Board of Directors.
Current projects include a national food franchise build-out, a medical management services company using an offshore
outsourcing model, a warehouse management solutions provider using an ASP model, and an ethnic focused debit card offering.
Mr. Talis has also directed bankruptcy workouts, federal and state tax restructurings, and administered creative financing
strategies with the SBA and EDA. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Cathedral of St. John the Theologian, and was
elected to its Executive Council.
Mr. Talis holds an MBA in finance and taxation, and is a New Jersey licensed Certified Public Accountant.
Here are some of the topics covered in this segment:
1. Find a law firm which focuses on entrepreneurs looking to help you grow
2. Hire an accountant who works with entrepreneurs and who understands the economic realities of a start up.
3. Consider forming a Limited Liability Company or Corporation; discuss with your lawyer and accountant which entity is the
best for you.
4. Visit a commercial bank and discuss the requirements of establishing a small line of credit..even if they will only offer
you a small credit card line in your company’s name in order that you begin a credit history for your company.
5. Establish from the start accurate records and detailed bookkeeping system so that your progress is documented at all
times.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That’s a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.
