C Squared Gives Back
Supporting causes important to us and our clients.

Total donation amount to date
Since its inception, C Squared Gives Back has donated to numerous organizations.
C Squared Gives Back is an important component of our firm and focus. We wanted a way to give back with a shared approach with clients to ensure donations are allocated to causes that are important to both C Squared and our clients. Our goal is to help others through the program, provide real differences in the people’s lives, and encourage others to give. We have donated in excess of $200,000 since the program was established in mid 2019, and we look forward to watching that number continue to grow.

I’ve known Carty for 25 years as a competitor, advisor and representative on M & A transactions. Although I’ve completed hundreds of restaurant financing transactions in my career, when it came time to sell part of my Wendy’s business, my partner and I immediately hired Carty. The expertise required to sell a franchise business is much different than financing that business. Carty is tough, fair, and focused on finding ways to get a deal done. We’ve been on both sides of transactions with Carty. I’d rather have C Squared on my side of the table.
