CAPAFIN Consultoría y Asesoría

What CAPAFIN Consultoría y Asesoría does

CAPAFIN Consultoría y Asesoría is a Mexico-based boutique financial advisory firm founded in 2013 by Ricardo Montero Moreno and headquartered in Zapopan, Jalisco. The firm specializes in corporate finance advisory across three core service pillars: Mergers & Acquisitions (buy-side and sell-side), Structured Financing (mezzanine debt, asset-based lending, securitizations), and Corporate Governance (institutionalization of family businesses aligned with OECD standards). These core offerings are complemented by modules covering Public/Private Capital, Public Debt Issuances, Cash Management Administration, and Management Analysis & Control.

The firm operates with a partner-led delivery model in which six named senior partners — including the founder, an investment banking partner, an executive partner, and partners covering financial strategy, private capital, and IFNB — personally lead every client engagement, with no junior "B-teams" deployed. CAPAFIN reports a cumulative track record of 170+ transactions totaling $11.5 BUSD across M&A, structured financing, and capital markets, with notable mandates involving Telmex, Cemex, Nissan, Bonafont, Liverpool, Arca, and GoRhino/RealTruck, alongside a PYME segment of 100+ SMEs across real estate, manufacturing, food, agriculture, tourism, and services.

The revenue model is built on transaction-based success fees tied to closing events (M&A, financing deals, capital markets issuances) supplemented by retainer-based consulting fees for ongoing governance, cash management, and financial analysis engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm operates across Mexico, USA, and Spain, with no proprietary technology platform disclosed — its primary distribution channels are a confidential consultation request process on its corporate website and partner-led referral relationships within the Mexican business community.
