Nick Giacoumakis is the Founder and President of Business Succession Advisers (BSA), where he helps business owners maximize enterprise value, prepare for successful transitions, and achieve the personal and financial goals they have spent a lifetime building
With more than 30 years of experience advising business owners, entrepreneurs, families, and executives, Nick has dedicated his career to helping clients build, preserve, and transfer wealth. After founding NEIRG Wealth Management in 1995 and serving as a trusted Wealth Advisor for nearly three decades, he transitioned his focus exclusively to exit and succession planning, helping business owners navigate one of the most important financial and personal decisions of their lives.
As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and Certified Value Growth Advisor (CVGA), Nick works with business owners to align their business objectives, personal goals, and legacy aspirations. Through BSA's Build. Grow. Exit. framework, he helps clients increase enterprise value, improve transition readiness, reduce owner dependency, and create strategies that support long- term success.
Nick's approach is built on integrity, trust, collaboration, and a commitment to helping owners achieve the outcomes they envision for themselves, their families, their employees, and their businesses. Whether the goal is a third-party sale, family transition, management buyout, ESOP, recapitalization, or long-term succession planning, he provides the strategic guidance needed to move forward with confidence and clarity
His insights on business ownership, retirement readiness, and succession planning have been featured in Kiplinger, where he has written about the challenges business owners face when preparing for retirement and transition.
Prior to focusing exclusively on exit planning, Nick founded and led NEIRG Wealth Management for nearly 30 years, helping individuals, families, and businesses pursue financial independence through comprehensive wealth management, investment planning, retirement planning, and risk management strategies.
Nick is also committed to serving his community. He previously served on the Board of Directors for CASA of New Hampshire, supporting the organization's mission to advocate for abused and neglected children throughout the state.
