In 2024, The Advisory set out to build something new: a tech-enabled investment bank purpose-built for the health, wellness, and medical services economy.
Investment Banking, Rebuilt for the Real World.
Not software for bankers. Not a deal marketplace. Not just another sourcing tool. We’re a true, full-service M&A advisory firm—built to support the backbone of America’s care economy: physician groups, dental practices, physical therapy clinics, behavioral health providers, and other health and wellness operators who keep communities healthy.
Wall Street’s playbook works—if you’re selling a billion-dollar company to another billion-dollar company. But below the middle market, it falls apart. Traditional investment banks run bloated teams on outdated software, making smaller deals inefficient and overpriced. And DIY listing sites? They leave practice owners flying solo, dealing with unqualified buyers, through one of the most important—and complex—exits of their lives.
What Makes The Advisory Different? We combine industry expertise with purpose-built technology to deliver better outcomes—faster. Our proprietary tools map every relevant strategic and financial buyer, and keep the process fully transparent. That means our bankers spend less time on data entry and bureaucracy—and more time doing what actually matters: positioning your practice, negotiating terms, and protecting your legacy.
Our Managing Partner, Oliver Bogner, has literally walked in your shoes. A two-time Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and Inc. 5000 CEO, he’s built and sold five businesses across multiple industries, including service-based, healthcare-adjacent, and consumer. In working with top-tier investment banks to exit his own companies, Oliver saw firsthand how bloated and misaligned those firms were—especially when it came to serving lower middle market operators.
He realized something simple but powerful: Health, wellness, and medical practice owners deserve the same white-glove treatment as Wall Street clients. That’s what we do at The Advisory.
