Client Testimonials
Simply put, Andy Wilcox’s services made me look and sound like I was an expert in transfer agent contracts, pricing and policies, when clearly I am not. His customer service was excellent and was all encompassing as it pertains to the services and advice he provided. He saved me the countless hours it would have taken to become appropriately educated on transfer agents and their contracts in addition to helping deliver a refreshed contract and pricing structure with my existing vendor that is better than I ever would have been able to do on my own. ~ Steve Willoughby, Vice President Investor Relations, PerkinElmer, Inc.
