Welcome to Danielson Capital

Experience and market knowledge, the keys to good decision making and success, are the Danielson Capital's 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 Capital's 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 almost 30 years with Danielson Capital. His expertise is supplemented by that of principals David G. Danielson and Jonathan D. Holtaway. Dave Danielson, in addition to holding a CPA and MBA, served for several years as the Vice Chairman of a small community bank. Jonathan Holtaway heads up Danielson Capital's asset management activities and brings to the table his experience in portfolio review and analysis from nearly a decade with Danielson Capital, as well as his own asset management firm. Past clients have found this mix of consulting, regulatory, and hands-on banking experience to be highly effective.

Danielson Capital 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.
