Spartan Group founders John O. Johnson and Peter D. Morgan both had significant and successful careers with large corporate investment banking firms but became disenchanted with the way these banks prioritized profits over the people they professed to serve. Believing they could leverage their experience to bring top-tier service to entrepreneurs and family business owners in specialized sectors of the middle-market, they left the world of Wall Street to found The Spartan Group in 2002. Headquartered in Los Angeles with an office in San Francisco, The Spartan Group serves clients nationwide. Our team of bankers and analysts have forged a culture of teamwork that manifests a passion for excellence in our service to clients. This has resulted in $3 billion in successful transactions, including 6 public company transactions.
