Colorado. 01 July 2025 - A new wave of cross-disciplinary specialists is helping advisors and business owners overcome today’s most pressing exit planning challenges.
With high interest rates, limited financing, and increased buyer scrutiny driving down valuations, owners face more than financial pressure. Succession plans stall. Employees grow uncertain. Advisors and business owners must navigate high-stakes transitions with fewer resources. BeReady was built for this moment.
Founded by Anna Halaburda, BeReady is closing the gap between Main Street and Wall Street by equipping smaller advisory firms and business owners with exit planning strategies once reserved for top-tier institutions. Now, the firm is taking its next step forward, welcoming exit planning veteran Bruce A. Beickman, CM&AA®, MBA, CPA, CBEC®, CVB®, to its growing network of elite advisors.
With over 40 years of experience guiding complex exits, Bruce is widely recognized as a leader in the field. He is the recipient of the 2024 Excellence in Exit Planning Award and author of Navigate Your Business to Achieve Your Ultimate Dream!. On joining the team, Beickman reflected: “BeReady is addressing a critical need. Owners deserve better outcomes, and advisors deserve better support. I’ve spent my career helping owners plan smarter exits. Now, I get to do that at scale, with a team that shares that commitment.”
Bruce joins forces with BeReady’s growing, nationwide team of exit planning experts and associate advisors, including accomplished transition advisor and former M&A attorney Principal Advisor John Carter, JD, CM&AA®, CExP.
“Exit planning is rarely straightforward. It’s legal, financial, operational, and deeply personal,” said founder Halaburda. “That’s why we’re bringing together top talent from every corner of the field.” As BeReady continues to grow, the firm is doubling down on its mission: empowering owners and advisors to achieve exceptional outcomes, regardless of market conditions.
