Commenting on the value of Goldenhill’s role in the process, Luis Otero, CEO of Athena Investment Systems Inc., said:

“Goldenhill’s specialist knowledge and expertise of the FinTech sector resulted in the successful sale to United FinTech. The team assisted throughout the entire process and were a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate in recommending them to other firms looking to engage in the M&A process.”
