Why Owners Choose Iron Wheel
Traditional brokers focus on closing the deal. We focus on the process.
Our goal is to strengthen your business, protect your legacy, and position you for a successful transition. As a CPA-led firm with 15 years of experience, we take a strategic, comprehensive approach that goes beyond transactions to address both the financial details and the human dynamics that make an exit truly successful.
The Problems Owners Face
When buyers look at your business, they see risk if these issues aren’t addressed:
Dependence on the owner for sales, client relationships, or leadership
Messy books, weak financial controls, or cash-basis accounting
Legal, HR, or contract gaps that slow diligence
Lack of documented processes that limit scale and transferability
Emotional and practical complexity in family transitions
Iron Wheel helps you turn those risks into value drivers.
The Iron Wheel Difference
Advisor Collaboration
We plug into your existing advisor bench. CEPAs and other advisors retain relationships while we manage operational execution and reporting.
Strategic, Comprehensive Exit Planning
We blend financial rigor with operational know-how to prepare your company for a smooth, high‑value transition—covering financial, legal, management, and HR considerations end‑to‑end.
Focused on Maximizing Business Value
We help you step out of the day‑to‑day, document processes, and clean up your financials—making the business more attractive, transferable, and valuable to buyers or successors.
Personalized, Hands‑On Support
We work closely with you and your team onsite and off, coordinating with your CPA, financial planner, and attorney so everyone pulls in the same direction.
Credibility Across Industries
Deep experience across medical/dental, light manufacturing, and professional services means we understand the levers of value in both blue‑collar and knowledge‑based businesses.
About Steven Bell
Steven Bell is dedicated to helping owners exit on their terms—price, legacy, and timing. As founder of Iron Wheel Solutions, he brings over 15 years of experience in exit and legacy M&A across healthcare, professional services, industrial, and “dirty jobs” industries.
Steven’s approach goes beyond brokering. He works directly with owners, their leadership teams, and trusted advisors to strengthen the business before a sale—cleaning up financials, documenting processes, and making the company more attractive to qualified buyers.

A business that’s more valuable and transferable
Less stress and second-guessing throughout the process
A smoother handoff for employees, family, and leadership
