Johnson Consulting Group : Funeral Business Advisor

THE BEGINNING
Johnson Consulting Group was created by a need in the funeral industry to have a trusted advisory with any issues that may arise in the day to day funeral business operations. During the life cycle of a funeral business,? accounting is needed, management guidance and training is utilized, surveying of the customer experience enhances the service level, and succession planning is eventually put in place to transfer the business within the family, to a key employee, or outside party.

Through careful consideration, Johnson Consulting Group has created a team of over 20 funeral and financial professionals to handle the difficult task of being a one stop consulting solution for funeral homes and cemeteries across the United States and Canada. We have positioned ourselves through this team to confidently say that Johnson Consulting Group can tackle any problem that a funeral business may come across in its life cycle.

WHY THEY ARE DIFFERENT
Johnson Consulting differentiates itself through being a complete total solutions funeral business consulting firm.? Through our economies, Johnson Consulting can offer all of its services at competitive pricing.? Whether it be accounting, management consulting, business valuations or brokering, Johnson Consulting has aggressively priced its services for growth!

Tom Johnson ? Founder
Tom has pursued a highly successful career in multi-site funeral home and cemetery management, as well as acquisition and divestiture activity in the death care industry. After beginning his career in banking and then serving in several key positions with Batesville Casket Company, he became President and CEO of Pierce Brothers Mortuaries & Cemeteries in Los Angeles. There, he grew the company from 17 locations to a total of 64 funeral homes and 14 cemeteries, making it, at the time, the largest regional independent funeral and cemetery operation in the United States. When Pierce was sold to SCI, he left the company and founded Prime Succession, which grew from no operations to 146 funeral homes and 17 cemetery locations in only three years, becoming the largest national independent operation in the country. After Prime Succession, Mr. Johnson started Johnson Consulting Group, which has become the premier consulting company in the death care industry focusing on mergers & acquisitions, business valuations and appraisals, accounting services, management services and training, and businesses financing. Mr. Johnson?s expertise in funeral home and cemetery management, combined with his strong background in banking and finance, gives him a unique understanding of operational and financial matters relating to the death care profession.

Jake Johnson ? President and CEO
Jake Johnson has rapidly advanced into senior leadership roles and gained respect throughout the funeral and cemetery industries. He is known as an innovator, change agent and thought leader. Jake?s success is based on his unique ability to identify simple solutions to complex business problems and communicate across all levels of the organization, instilling positive morale, empowerment and employee ownership to drive service excellence. His strong foundation in accounting, financial analysis and EBITDA forecasting is complemented by technology savvy and broad general management qualifications in business development and operations. As President & CEO at Johnson Consulting, Jake provided strategic direction, and marketing innovations that laid the groundwork for the company?s rapid growth, gaining recognition as the premiere total solutions provider within the funeral industry. In his former position as Executive Vice President and General Manager at Palm Mortuaries and Cemeteries, he provided key operations leadership of the Palm Cemetery Division. Jake began his career at Keystone Group Holdings (now Dignity Memorial Network) as Associate Director, Corporate Development, where his financial analysis and forecasting expertise was foundational to the firm?s growth to $60M in four years. Jake?s educational credentials include a BSBA degree in Management with an emphasis in Accounting and Financial Analysis from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rounding out his financial portfolio, he is a licensed Real Estate Agent and licensed Investment Advisor representative. Jake is also a member of the Funeral Service Foundation Board.

Selling our company after 120 years of family ownership was a very difficult decision. Johnson Consulting Group?s disciplined and structured processes resulted in several very serious offers and maximized the value we received. I had been involved in both acquisitions and sales in the past, Tom and Jake proved to me the value of having knowledgeable, dedicated advisors in such an important transaction. Tom helped me put aside the emotional part of the decision and to recognize every business is faced with transition of ownership at some point. There was never any pressure for me to sell, Tom and Jake were sincere in wanting to help me reach a decision, whatever it might be. Tom made me realize he was more than a broker, he was a trusted advisor and friend, with my best interests at heart. JCG helped secure my family?s future and we are forever grateful.
