Advising the architects of the new financial and regulated services.

Investment banking for the convergence of fintech, data, and AI across financial, accounting, and legal services.

From fintech and insurtech to regtech, legaltech, and the business software that runs the accounting and legal professions, the next layer of finance is being built where regulated services, data, and artificial intelligence converge. We advise the entrepreneurs, platforms, and investors shaping that convergence: the companies building the next generation of tools for risk, compliance, reporting, investment, and client relationships, and the established players integrating them. For nearly a decade, Gimar & Co has followed this vertical from the inside, pairing genuine technical fluency with the transaction experience to turn a strong position into the right deal.
