Boutique firms also handle acquisitions between two unlisted companies . This is known as mergers and acquisitions , sometimes also called " M&A " an acronym for Mergers and Acquisitions .
Some of the companies that are clients of investment banks are publicly traded. The market includes companies of varying sizes, distributed and classified according to their valuation:

  • Small -caps are companies with a valuation of less than $2 billion.

  • M&A Business Manager : An M&A business manager or merger and acquisition advisor is responsible for helping clients to carry out complex financing arrangements in order to carry out a so-called "top of the balance sheet" operation: such as the purchase, sale, merger or initial public offering of a company.
  • Director/Vice President M&A A vice president plays a leadership role in the M&A department. Unlike M&A associates, the vice president typically dedicates their time to tasks such as:
    • Speak with the directors to determine what they want and translate it into achievable tasks.
    • Distribute work between partners and analysts and resolve disputes and interpersonal conflicts.
    • Oversee profitability and financial analyses for mergers and acquisitions activities and the creation of integration plans before showing them to the M&A director.
    • Engage with potential clients, vendors and investors, and handle inquiries related to transactions and processes.
    • Developing relationships with potential new clients, at least when the vice president becomes more experienced and moves to the director level.
    • Be responsible for managing mergers and acquisitions projects at various stages of the transaction and will report directly to the M&A director .
