M&A Advisor

Baton equips business owners and buyers with a modern, data‑driven marketplace to buy or sell, offering valuations grounded in real financials and allowing them to close deals 2x faster than the industry norm. We recently closed our Series A to scale this vision further. We are proud to be building in person in New York City.

As an M&A Advisor, you’ll own and manage a book of deals that range in size from $400K to $10M+. You'll work with owners on listing strategy, offer negotiations, deal structuring, and diligence. Our advisors service small business acquisitions with the same level of sophistication as sell-side investment banks, while also providing a world class experience for owners who are likely going through their first ever exit. Lastly, as an advisor you will partner closely with our executive team, sales team, and product team to create winning and scalable systems that power Baton's growth.
