About Us

Breslin, Young and Slaughter, LLC was started as Breslin & Young Financial Consultants, LLC (“B&Y”) by Amy Breslin and Brian Young in 2001 to provide financial consulting services to businesses in a variety of industries. Amy & Brian’s extensive background in the commercial finance industry also allowed B&Y to provide services to commercial lenders.

With considerable healthcare lending experience, B&Y was uniquely positioned to assist the growing healthcare industry. The firm continued to see substantial work and growth in the healthcare sector and committed itself to further grow within this market. B&Y added significant depth and knowledge to its healthcare team with the addition of Duke Slaughter in 2009, forming Breslin Young & Slaughter, LLC (“BY&S”) to focus solely on healthcare financial consulting projects.  While Duke has recently retired, his presence is still felt as he is available for special projects, guidance, and maintaining client relationships.

In 2019, Evan Schaller was promoted to partner and has continued to grow in his leadership role. Evan oversees the quality of earnings product and helps manage the staff in BY&S’ satellite office in Charlotte, NC, which was opened in September 2018.

Duke’s aforementioned retirement brought new beginnings and BY&S promoted 3 additional partners in Anthony Hope, John Nicholas, and Evan Watts at the beginning of 2024.  Their expertise and varied strengths were a great addition to the BY&S management and leadership team.

With plans to expand outside of the healthcare industry, Randy Laughner was hired in May 2024 to oversee BY&S’ Traditional ABL Due Diligence group with the support of Anthony Hope and Jenn Reid. With over two decades of experience in Traditional ABL both performing examinations and managing examiners, Randy and the rest of the team are well poised to grow this line of business and deliver the same level of quality and expertise that has made BY&S the first it is today.

Since formation, BY&S’ staff has continually expanded (currently over 40) to represent a seasoned team ready to meet our clients’ needs. Our expertise in lender and equity services includes field examinations, quality of earnings reviews, portfolio monitoring, and turnaround/work out services. We have built a strong, dedicated, industry-leading team of healthcare and traditional ABL consultants ready to tackle the ever-evolving challenges and nuances of all industries.
