Experience
As the lead of the Tampa Transaction Support team at Benchmark International, Kayla spearheads interactions with business owners to glean insights into their company’s operations and financial health. She meticulously analyzes our clients’ financial records and other corporate documentation, pinpointing the unique strengths of each entity to bolster valuation during negotiations for the preferred exit strategy. These findings are then harnessed to craft and refine the marketing materials crucial for showcasing each
opportunity we represent.
Before joining Benchmark International, Ms. Sullivan served as a Tax Process Specialist at PricewaterhouseCoopers, specializing in partnership tax. In 2016, she embarked on a journey to Italy to pursue a full-time International MBA, following which she seamlessly integrated into the operations of Benchmark International.
