Associate, Transaction Advisory Services

About Palm Tree:

Join an elite team of respected experts who approach the needs of M&A differently, in a demanding, yet supportive and collaborative culture. Founded in 2010, Palm Tree is the modern M&A advisor. We are the single source for integrated investment banking and financial consulting services that enable businesses to better prepare for and execute on transactions, transitions, and transformations.

Palm Tree approaches strategic events from the perspectives of owners and operators. Our processes and deliverables enable our clients to make critical business decisions efficiently and to create value in strategic events. Strategic events include mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, carve-outs, recapitalizations, refinancings, restructurings, and growth and performance improvement initiatives.

We were born out of private equity. It gives us the resilience, flexibility, and perspective of owners and operators. Our team comes from private equity, Big-4 accounting, investment banking, and business operations experience. We understand the time-sensitive, uncompromising demands of M&A to deliver advantageous outcomes for private equity firms and business operators alike.
