About Bull Street Partners

Bull Street Partners is a boutique mergers and acquisitions advisory firm specializing in representing privately held, founder-owned businesses in the lower middle market. We work directly with business owners to navigate the sale of their companies, providing comprehensive advisory services throughout the M&A process, including business valuations, transaction preparation, buyer identification, negotiations, due diligence, and closing. As we continue expanding our national presence, we are seeking entrepreneurial, relationship-driven M&A Advisors to join our growing advisory network.

About the Opportunity

This opportunity is designed for professionals who want to build and grow an M&A advisory practice while leveraging the resources, infrastructure, and transaction execution capabilities of an established advisory firm. As an M&A Advisor, your primary responsibility will be identifying prospective clients, developing relationships with business owners, and originating new sell-side M&A engagements.

Unlike traditional business brokerage models that require advisors to independently manage every aspect of a transaction, Bull Street Partners provides a dedicated internal deal team to support the transaction process, allowing advisors to concentrate on business development, client relationships, and generating new opportunities. This is a remote, commission-based opportunity with uncapped earning potential and the flexibility to develop your own client relationships and referral network.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop relationships with business owners who may be considering a sale, recapitalization, or other strategic transaction.
• Originate new sell-side M&A engagements through direct outreach, professional networking, referrals, and relationship development.
• Conduct introductory conversations with prospective clients to understand their businesses, financial performance, and long-term objectives.
• Educate business owners on the M&A process, potential exit strategies, and transaction considerations.
• Coordinate with Bull Street's internal deal team to evaluate prospective engagements and prepare preliminary valuations.
• Present advisory proposals and assist in securing signed sell-side engagement agreements.
• Maintain ongoing relationships with clients throughout the transaction process.
• Develop referral relationships with accountants, attorneys, wealth advisors, private equity professionals, and other centers of influence.
• Collaborate with the firm's internal advisors and transaction professionals to facilitate successful client outcomes.

Qualifications

• Experience in mergers and acquisitions, business brokerage, investment banking, private equity, commercial finance, business development, or related professional services preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to develop relationships with business owners, executives, and other decision-makers.
• Strong understanding of business financials, valuation concepts, and the fundamentals of buying and selling privately held companies.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills.
• Self‑motivated, entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to independently develop new business opportunities.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage a pipeline of prospective clients.
• Existing relationships with business owners, professional referral sources, or acquisition professionals are a plus.

Prior M&A transaction experience is preferred but not required for candidates with substantial business development experience and a strong understanding of privately held businesses.

Compensation & Earning Potential

Estimated Annual On-Target Earnings (OTE): $100,000–$175,000

This is a commission-based independent contractor opportunity with uncapped earning potential.

High-performing advisors may have the opportunity to earn $250,000 or more annually, depending on individual production and successfully completed transactions.

Actual earnings will vary based on performance, transaction volume, and the timing of completed engagements. Compensation is not guaranteed.

What Bull Street Partners Provides

• Dedicated Transaction Execution Team: Internal professionals to assist with valuations, marketing materials, buyer outreach, negotiations, due diligence, and closing.
• Established M&A Infrastructure: Access to the firm's transaction processes, technology platforms, marketing resources, and buyer relationships.
• Business Development Support: Resources and guidance to help advisors identify prospective clients and develop new engagements.
• Collaborative Environment: Opportunities to work alongside experienced M&A professionals throughout the transaction lifecycle.
• Flexible, Remote Opportunity: Ability to develop client relationships and originate transactions from anywhere in the United States, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
• Scalable Earning Potential: The ability to grow a book of business without independently managing every component of transaction execution.

Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is an entrepreneurial professional who enjoys building relationships, developing new business, and working directly with company owners. You may be an experienced M&A advisor looking for a platform with stronger execution support, a business broker seeking to expand into larger transactions, or an established business development professional interested in the M&A industry. We are particularly interested in individuals who have existing relationships with business owners or professional referral networks and are motivated to build a long-term advisory practice.
