CHILDS Advisory Partners is pleased to announce that we have been named Boutique Investment Banking Firm of the Year by The M&A Advisor. The honors were awarded at the 15^th Annual M&A Advisor Awards Gala, the premier celebration of the year for firms and professionals in the M&A industry, held on Wednesday, November 9th at the New York Athletic Club.

"We have been very fortunate to assemble a great team of veteran investment bankers who are humble, hungry and smart. And I would put our junior bankers up against anyone," said Jim Childs, CEO of CHILDS Advisory Partners. "At 40 professionals, we have a long way to go to be a national leading middle market M&A advisor, but we are excited to continue the journey toward that goal."

"Our firm and I have also been blessed to work with many industry-leading clients who share our values and commitment to excellence. It has been very rewarding to play a small part in these clients' overall success. We are proud of our achievements over the past year and are grateful to The M&A Advisor for honoring us in this manner."
