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 since 1987 when he financed my initial acquisition of four Wendy’s restaurants when I exited the McDonald’s business. I’ve since relied on Carty’s advice and counsel as we’ve grown our business to almost 60 units. Carty has assisted us in financing engagements, M&A advice, and on the hiring of a CFO. He was also very helpful in assisting us in managing through the Wendy’s SO-III where we acquired additional locations in our core market. I would highly recommend Carty, and the C Squared team. No one knows the QSR industry better.
