What Allier Capital does

Allier Capital is a Sydney-based boutique M&A advisory firm founded in 2009, serving the Australasian middle market. The firm offers independent advice across the full transaction spectrum — sell-side and buy-side M&A, public market transactions, capital raisings (debt, mezzanine, equity), corporate development, and restructurings — for private business owners, ASX-listed companies, private equity sponsors, and family offices. Sector expertise is concentrated in Healthcare, Technology, Consumer, Services, Financial Services, and Industrials, with recent hires signaling expansion into Energy & Infrastructure and Real Estate.

The firm operates a senior-banker-led model in which partners are involved at every stage of execution. Its distribution capability is materially augmented by a strategic alliance with William Blair (operating since 2012, formalized in 2016), giving Allier access to a global boutique platform spanning more than 20 cities on four continents and a track record of 1,050+ advisory and capital markets transactions worth more than $365 billion over the past five years. The team comprises approximately 20 professionals, including three Managing Directors (Matthew Stubbs, Trent Roberts, Sean Slater) and Directors and Associates drawn from Citi, William Blair, Stamford Partners, Deloitte, PwC, EY-Parthenon, and KPMG.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees — primarily advisory and success fees on completed transactions, supplemented by retainers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is predominantly relationship-driven: over 50% of mandates come from long-term repeat clients, supported by an active website, LinkedIn presence, and the William Blair co-marketing channel. The firm is privately held, holds AFSL 336276, and is headquartered at Level 7, 2 Bligh Street, Sydney.
