Welcome to Danielson Associates

Experience and market knowledge, the keys to good decision making and success, are the Danielson Associates' trademark. Established in 1978, the firm focuses on helping management and boards of financial institutions adapt to the changes within the financial services industry and determine their future direction.

Danielson Associates' in-depth understanding of financial services has its roots in the planning and transaction background of its founder and chairman, Arnold G. Danielson and his experiences at a regulatory agency, a Fortune 500 industrial firm, a large bank, and through 30 plus years with Danielson Associates. His expertise is supplemented by that of David G. Danielson who has been with the firm for more than a decade and served on two small community bank boards.

Danielson Associates ranks perennially among the leading advisors for bank and thrift mergers. Since its inception, the firm has advised on acquisitions of banks, thrifts, insurance agencies, and bank and thrift branches with a combined transaction value in excess of $4 billion.
