Founder-First M&A Advisory for the Middle Market
About Auxo Capital Advisors
Auxo Capital Advisors is a boutique M&A advisory firm built by founders for founders. We help middle-market owners achieve better outcomes through high-touch, data-driven sell-side M&A advisory, buy-side M&A advisory, and valuation services— grounded in institutional-grade analysis (DCF, LBO, comps), strategic positioning, and a disciplined sell-side M&A process. Looking for a baseline? Start with a Market Value Study.
Our Story
Auxo Capital Advisors is a founder-built M&A advisory firm. We’ve sat on your side of the table—balancing risk, team, legacy, and timing—which is why our work is high-touch, aligned, and outcome-driven for middle-market business owners.
We pair that empathy with institutional-grade execution—advanced valuation services (DCF, LBO, comps), disciplined process management, and sell-side M&A advisory that positions your story for both strategic and financial buyers. If you’re still preparing, our Sell-Side Readiness work turns “someday” into a clear plan, and our sell-side M&A process brings structure from first conversation to close.
Why We’re Called “Auxo”
Auxo (pronounced “AWK-so”) is named after the ancient Greek goddess of growth and prosperity. True to our name, Auxo Capital Advisors helps business owners, strategic acquirers, and private equity sponsors unlock value through expertly executed middle-market M&A advisory services.
We’re more than just deal facilitators — we’re long-term partners who bring institutional-quality insights to sell-side and buy-side M&A transactions. Whether preparing for an exit or executing a strategic acquisition, we provide the clarity, discipline, and execution needed to drive superior outcomes.

Core Sectors
For Founders, by a Founder
Auxo was founded on a simple principle: founders deserve advisors who’ve walked the same path. With a background in building and exiting companies, we speak your language, understand your priorities, and know what truly drives enterprise value.
Much like the Sherpas who guide climbers to the summit of Everest, we act as trusted guides—bringing experience, discipline, and unwavering support to help you reach your peak transaction outcome.
“I’ve built companies, led teams, and successfully sold businesses of my own. At Auxo, you’re not handed off to junior bankers who’ve never built anything — you work directly with someone who’s been in your shoes and knows what it takes to get the deal done.”
