OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2010 by Ken Kapp, Allston Advisory Group was established as an independent mergers and acquisitions advisory firm dedicated to serving privately held businesses in the lower middle market. From the beginning, the firm’s mission has been to provide business owners with experienced, objective advice and the personalized attention necessary to navigate complex financial decisions and ownership transitions.
Over the years, Allston has developed a track record of advising business owners on mergers and acquisitions, business valuations, and exit strategies. The firm’s experience spans a broad range of industries, including business services, construction, distribution, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and technology.
As an independent advisory firm, Allston maintains the flexibility to develop tailored strategies based on each client’s unique circumstances and objectives. Through its professional relationships, industry resources, and involvement in leading M&A organizations, the firm combines the capabilities and reach of a larger institution with the personal attention of a boutique advisory practice.
Today, Allston Advisory Group continues to build on the foundation established in 2010, combining decades of financial and transaction advisory experience with a commitment to integrity, thoughtful guidance, and disciplined execution.
While the firm has evolved, its guiding philosophy remains unchanged: to advocate for its clients, maximize value, and help business owners achieve their personal, professional, and financial objectives.
