A Different Kind of M&A Firm
We built Quantive to be the firm we wished existed—one that values both excellence and sustainability, where talented people can do their best work.
Boutique Size, Institutional Quality
We're small enough that everyone matters, but rigorous enough to compete with any firm. You'll have real responsibility from day one while working to the highest standards.
Veteran Values
Our military roots show in how we operate: mission-focused, team-oriented, and committed to doing the right thing even when no one is watching.
Founder-First Philosophy
We genuinely care about our clients' outcomes. You'll work with people who see M&A as more than transactions—it's about helping people achieve their dreams.

What We Offer
Competitive compensation is just the start. We invest in your growth, well-being, and long-term success.
Competitive Compensation
Base salary plus performance bonuses tied to deal closings. Share directly in the success you help create.
Direct Deal Exposure
Work on live transactions from day one. No years of spreadsheet work before seeing a deal—you're in the room.
Accelerated Learning
Small team means big responsibility. You'll learn more in one year here than three years at a large bank.

Work directly with partners on every engagement. No layers of hierarchy between you and decision-makers.
Work That Matters
Help founders achieve life-changing exits. See the direct impact of your work on real people and their families.
Sustainable Pace

Why M&A Advisory?
M&A advisory offers a unique combination of intellectual challenge, meaningful impact, and financial reward.
Impact at Every Level
M&A advisory is one of the few careers where your work directly changes people's lives. When we close a deal, founders achieve financial freedom, employees gain new opportunities, and businesses find paths to growth.
Intellectual Challenge
Every deal is different. You'll analyze businesses across industries, structure creative transactions, and solve complex problems that require both analytical rigor and creative thinking.
Relationship Building
Success in M&A comes from building trust with founders, buyers, attorneys, and lenders. You'll develop a network and reputation that compounds throughout your career.
Financial Upside
M&A advisory offers some of the strongest compensation in professional services. As you develop expertise and relationships, your earning potential grows significantly.
What We Stand For
Our values aren't posters on a wall—they're how we make decisions every day.
Integrity First
We tell clients the truth, even when it's hard. We'd rather lose a deal than compromise our principles.
Results Obsessed
We're measured by outcomes, not hours. Everyone here is focused on getting deals done right.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
We move fast and own our work. If you have an idea to improve how we do things, run with it.
Excellence in Everything
Good enough isn't good enough. We take pride in the quality of our work product and client service.
Where We Work
Our headquarters is in Vienna, Virginia—just outside Washington, D.C. in the heart of Tysons Corner. We offer flexible work arrangements and embrace remote work for the right candidates.
