Notable Firm Recognitions

TUSK Partners was honored by INC Magazine for a second consecutive year on the Inc5000 list. TUSK was also named to the Charlotte Business Journal Fast 50 list for the second year in a row.  Additionally, TUSK made its third consecutive appearance on the Axial Top 50 Healthcare M&A Firms list. Kevin Cumbus, President of TUSK shared, "I am so proud of our team and the stellar outcomes they continue to achieve for our clients. TUSK has experienced significant growth over the last couple years and continues to do so in 2023 and beyond. Making these lists once is hard enough, but to make them two and three times is incredible! These awards are a testament to the strong work ethic, business acumen, and professionalism of the TUSK team. Thank you to everyone who has made this accomplishment possible, including our team of industry experts, our clients, and our industry partners."

Relocation and Renovation

TUSK relocated their corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC to the iconic Watermark Building just outside of uptown Charlotte.  The office, taking up half of the second floor, is a modern, bright space with floor to ceiling views of Charlotte's Greenway.  In December of this year, TUSK completed their renovation of the space including updating the kitchen, conference rooms and entryway.  While so many other companies are downsizing their corporate footprint, TUSK has expanded and invested in theirs.  Kevin Cumbus, President of TUSK, shared, "I love the look and feel of the new office.  I find myself excited and eager to get to the office each and every day.  The team at 4 Story Interiors were so good at helping us achieve a modern fresh look in the space.  Additionally, we now have room to add new team members for years to come." 

Community Outreach

TUSK continued its annual community outreach efforts in the greater Charlotte, NC area. The TUSK team attend a ribbon cutting ceremony at a local middle school for a sensory room that the firm funded in 2022. We also spent a day hosting a holiday party for underserved children for the third consecutive year at a school located in Mint Hill, NC. Additionally, TUSK announced the TUSK Gives Back outreach initiative which allows employees to make a financial donation provided by TUSK to a charity of their choice. The donation amount is dependent on each employee's tenure with the company. Kevin Cumbus, Founder of TUSK said "The TUSK Gives Back outreach initiative is something all of us are proud of. Our leadership team shared a vision to do more for those in need and I believe this allows our entire team to take part in making an impact in an organization that means a lot to them."
