Tech M&A Advisor Leaderboard 2026: Most Credited Firms in the Deal Index

What this measures

Every advisory firm publicly credited on a tracked 2026 technology M&A transaction in the ProCloser Tech M&A Deal Index, ranked by number of credited deals. Each count links to the firm's full deal record with sources. This is a measurement, not an editorial ranking: it counts public advisor credits only, and public credits skew toward large, priced, public-company transactions where press releases name banks. Most lower-middle-market deals never disclose an advisor, so a low count here says little about a boutique's actual activity. Use it for market structure, not as a hire list; our editorial rankings weigh factors credits cannot capture.

How to read this

Counts update as the deal index tracks new announcements, each documented to a public source. A firm appears once it is publicly credited on at least one tracked 2026 technology transaction. Ties share a rank. The index covers technology M&A: software, SaaS, fintech, cybersecurity, AI and adjacent sectors. For individual bankers rather than firms, no reliable public dataset exists at deal level; we list firms only rather than estimate.
