About Us

We approach every engagement with an open and curious mind. We do not presume to know the answer to a client’s issues before we learn all we can about the topics at hand. We don’t simply wait for our turn to talk and then offer a “boilerplate” solution to a client’s issue. We listen, we think, and then we interact with our clients to ensure that the best possible result is achieved

While our firm is only a few years old, our partners all have 20 or more years of experience in their respective fields of expertise. We bring this experience, and the related insights it provides, to every engagement we support

Every partner at McGovern Smith Advisors provides the benefit of their experience and insights in a straight-forward, open, confidential and honest manner. We understand our role is to help our clients achieve their goals and that this can only be accomplished when clients are comfortable that their shared information will remain protected and confidential, thus enabling them to both share and receive valuable information and insights in an open and honest exchange of ideas

McGovern Smith works closely with its clients to ensure that all information needed to develop the best solution possible is gathered, understood and incorporated as appropriate. We view ourselves as part of the client team, not apart from the very people who engaged us.

We endeavor to ensure that anything we recommend to a client is something they can implement with, to the extent possible, a minimum of disruption to current operations and strategies.

McGovern Smith Advisors strives to “think outside the box” when approaching engagements to provide clients with creative, unique and actionable solutions. As General George S. Patton once said, “If everyone is thinking alike then someone isn’t thinking”. We think on behalf of our clients.
