Job description

Armory Group, LLC is a leading investment bank and financial advisory firm dedicated solely to the middle market. We provide a full range of advisory services on a national basis to companies and their lenders, including raising debt and equity financing, M&A and restructuring financial advisory services. We have won numerous national “deal of the year” awards for our M&A work from M&A Advisor and have broad industry coverage with 10 dedicated industry groups that bring unique, sector specific knowledge and expertise to each engagement.

While we regularly work with healthy or growing companies, what makes us relatively unique from other middle market investment banks is our reputation as one of the pre‑eminent financial advisors for middle‑market companies navigating complex situations or facing unique financial challenges, including raising rescue or turnaround capital for those operating in cyclical industries, undergoing turnaround or experiencing one‑time events impacting performance. As a result of our work, we have been recognized with many national “deal of the year” awards from top industry organizations including M&A Advisor, with the 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025 Turnaround Refinancing of the Year in the $100 million to $1 billion category and 2022 Boutique Investment Bank of the Year. In addition, our growing creditor advisory practice regularly represents some of the nation’s largest banks, financial institutions and private lenders in such situations.

Since the original formation of our team in 2008, we have been involved in over $30 billion of transactions across over 175 diverse engagements.
