Design Sound Financial Structures

No matter the nature or size of your business we provide a comprehensive range of financial solutions. Our services extend beyond the typical scope of traditional banking and lending institutions, delivering innovative and flexible solutions designed to meet your specific needs in all sectors of business and real estate.

We know how to package and present our clients to commercial loan underwriters in the best possible light. So they get the financing they need with rates, terms and payment options that work for their specific objectives and cash flow situation.
Yes, we are CPAs and seasoned finance specialists, so we cross every “t” and dot every “I,” but our primary focus and considerable experience is based in Capital Access. By bringing a network of financial institutions (lenders, investors and private equity firms) to the table, we are able to present our clients with multiple creative loan strategies and flexibility in terms.

​We disagree with the old adage: “good, fast and cheap – you can only have two.”Our advisors actually work to deliver financing options that deliver all three: enviable rates, shorter closing times and longer repayment periods.

​
So we really are like architects: designing a financial structure on which you can build your business.

When your company or project needs capital, we bring perspective and resources beyond the scope of traditional banks and lending organizations to deliver innovation that works on your terms.

What they're saying about us...

“Front Street Advisors has demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and dedication in providing strategic financial guidance. Their deep understanding of complex financial matters, combined with their ability to translate intricate concepts into practical strategies, sets them apart in the industry.

I have had the privilege of working closely with their team and have been consistently impressed by their exemplary financial consultancy services. They really excel in their holistic approach, expert team and tailored solutions. In addition, their strategic planning goes way beyond number crunching.”
​– Steve Hanson
Founder & CEO – Hanson, Inc.

​"Front Street Advisors has proven to be a reliable and efficient partner in handling the loan referrals that our bank cannot manage due to our credit box limitations or footprint restrictions. They demonstrate an adept understanding of our clients’ needs and show expertise in sourcing suitable loans from other financial institutions.

This partnership not only benefits our clients but also aids us in preserving crucial deposit and other banking relationships. In summary, our collaboration with Front Street Advisors enhances our service delivery while ensuring we retain the trust and loyalty of our clients.”
​– Senior Vice President
Regional Bank – Florida

“Front Street Advisors and Dustin Shively, an associate of theirs, were the catalysts behind my seamless transition from owning a single dental practice to multiple, eventually leading to a high-value sale to a Dental Support Organization (DSO). They executed a strategic funding plan that facilitated acquisitions, provided expert negotiation assistance during the sale, and offered sound financial advice to optimize my profits. Dustin’s involvement was constant, offering clarity amidst complexity and ensuring that every decision was well-informed and beneficial. Front Street Advisors go above and beyond, making them an unparalleled choice for anyone seeking expert financial advisory services.”
– Dr. Robert Ellis
 Dental Practice Owner

Founder + Principal

CONTACT US
Dustin Shively, CPA, is an accomplished public accountant with over 18 years of experience navigating the complex landscape of finance, taxation, and business strategy.
 
Armed with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Tiffin University and a Master’s in Accounting with a Taxation specialization from Bowling Green State University, Dustin expanded his education with a Certificate in Commercial Real Estate Analysis and Investment from the MIT School of Architecture and Planning.
 
This focus on real estate and commercial financing was sparked by a perceived lack of creativity in the financing industry, an inadequate educational focus on available programs, and restricted client access to a comprehensive network of financial outlets.
 
Dustin has been consistently proactive in bridging these gaps. He has cultivated a robust network of financial institutions, capitalizing on the latest and most effective financial products while assembling a talented team of accountants dedicated to devising creative capital structures to secure the most favorable – and innovative – deals for their clients.
 
He works closely with clients to unlock their potential by aligning financial strategy with overarching business goals, demystifying the complexities of finance and taxation with skill, dedication, and a firm belief in the power of informed financial decision-making.
