Other Advisory Services We offer our clients a hands-on approach. Our most senior level bankers are highly involved and thorough in guiding clients through every step in the advisory process. This approach gives clients the confidence needed to successfully grow their company.  Sterne Agee’s expertise expands throughout a wide range of special advisory situations. Our clients frequently turn to us when they need independent knowledge from a trustworthy source. In many cases, there may be no urgent need for a business deal. This is where our senior bankers can assist by leading clients through strategic planning, examining various funding possibilities, and counseling privately owned businesses and partnerships. Sterne Agee plays an important role independently advising board committees and shareholders as well as various decision making groups.
