About G2
G2 Capital Advisors (www.g2cap.com) is a multi-product, sector-focused investment bank and financial advisory firm. Founded on the belief that middle-market advisory firms can do more, G2 partners with clients to navigate opportunities for growth, address operational or financial challenges, and execute complex capital markets transactions. As part of GA Group (backed by Oaktree), G2 brings additional scale and resources to support middle-market companies. What sets us apart? We’re not your typical investment bank or restructuring advisory firm. Our team brings together a balanced mix of operational insight, executive leadership, investment acumen, and financial advisory expertise. This diverse experience allows us to deliver tailored solutions that align with our clients’ strategic and financial goals, ensuring a well-rounded and impactful partnership. At G2, we thrive on collaboration, innovation and impact. We seek entrepreneurial, driven and intellectually curious individuals to join us in delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.
