The company is lead by strong senior leaders with a track record of success and delivering excellent client service. Many clients continue to work with the company after many years.

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
I have had a very fulfilling and stimulating experience during my tenure at Dresner Partners. My skills and knowledge of investment banking were very limited prior to Dresner. During my time here, however, I have gained a tremendous amount of experience and a vast array of proficiencies. I’ve had the opportunity to work on several different types of engagements across various industries and have really been able to refine my skill sets. I have enjoyed working with and have attained valuable knowledge from everyone within the organization – from the analysts to the president of the company.
Cons
No material cons to share.
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★

RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Dresner is tops at gathering, analyzing and interpreting complicated numerical information assessing and predicting financial returns, providing advice, tactics and recommendations all to achieve the best outcomes for its middle market clients. MDs/VPs are experts within their sector and overall investment banking knowledge. Dresner also offers first in class Investor Relations Counsel/PR to private, small and mid-cap companies. No other IB has this type of product diversification, all lead by Steve Dresner.
Cons
International expertise is very sound and should be promoted more.
