Strategic consulting built on forestry and wood products expertise

Geyer Advisors helps natural resource companies unlock value, achieve cost savings, and navigate complex transactions and regulatory environments.

Two practices — engage one, or both

Business strategy and government affairs are offered as distinct, standalone practices, each engaged separately on its own terms. When a situation calls for both, that pairing is a specialty, not a stretch: few advisors bring deal-making and government affairs experience together under one roof.

An acquisition with exposure to government policy is a common example — one
where the two practices work best together, under a single advisor.

01

Business Strategy

We guide companies through strategic business development, acquisitions and divestitures, real estate optimization, market analysis, corporate positioning, and the identification of growth opportunities.

02

Government Affairs

We provide advocacy and guidance on federal, state, and local policy issues — managing legislative and regulatory challenges, building relationships with key stakeholders, and representing client interests in public forums.

Biomass Energy Residual Fiber Markets

Finding viable markets for mill residuals, thinned trees, and forest biomass has become an acute challenge for many companies and landowners. The closure of pulp and paper mills, along with the need to reduce fuel for fires in Western forests, creates both an urgent need and a future opportunity. We seek to identify profitable pathways for the use of this valuable fiber.

Where We Work

From the Pacific Northwest to the Southeast U.S., Midwest to Northeast, and the forests of Canada, Geyer Advisors works wherever the trees do.

Discretion is part of the deliverable

Confidential by default

Much of our work happens under confidentiality. Discretion isn't incidental to the engagement; it's what our clients expect.

A limited number of engagements

We take on a limited number of new engagements each quarter, so every client gets direct, principal-level attention, not a delegated team.

Board-ready from the start

Whether the audience is an executive team or a board of directors, work is structured to hold up under scrutiny the first time it's presented.

Our Commitment

Geyer Advisors will leverage deep industry experience, a broad skillset, and a dedicated work ethic to deliver impactful results. Whether you are pursuing growth, navigating a transaction, or facing regulatory hurdles, we are ready to help you achieve your strategic objectives.
