🤝 South Florida M&A Affinity Group (SFLMA)

Our mission is to provide South Florida's senior dealmaking professionals with a forum for knowledge sharing, relationship building, and collaboration across the full deal lifecycle — from origination and diligence through close and integration — strengthening the region's standing as a serious M&A market.

Where Deal Professionals Connect, Collaborate, and Close

📅 When We Meet

📆 Second Friday of every month

⏰ Time: 11a-1p eastern

💻 Virtual via Zoom 

The best deals start with the right relationships.

South Florida's M&A market is one of the most dynamic in the country — a convergence of Latin American capital, domestic private equity, family-owned business transitions, and a thriving middle market. The professionals navigating that landscape deserve more than a generic networking group.

The South Florida M&A Affinity Group is a ProVisors community purpose-built for the deal ecosystem — a curated room where investment bankers, M&A attorneys, exit planners, CPAs, business brokers, and operators come together to sharpen their practice, expand their referral network, and exchange the kind of insight that only comes from people who've actually been in the room.

🎯 Who Belongs Here

This group is built for senior professionals who are active participants in the transaction process — before, during, or after close. If you have a principal role in how a deal comes together, gets done, or succeeds post-close, you belong in this room.

🏦 Investment bankers and business brokers — originating and structuring deals

⚖️ M&A and transactional attorneys — from LOI through close

📊 CPAs and financial advisors — quality of earnings, tax structuring, wealth planning

📋 Exit planners and wealth strategists — preparing owners for the transaction and what comes after

🔍 Valuation specialists — establishing defensible value before and during a deal

💰 Commercial lenders and debt advisors — financing the transaction

🛡️ Rep & warranty and M&A insurance specialists — a standard mechanism in today's middle market

🔧 Fractional and interim executives — sale readiness before, integration leadership after

🏢 Private equity and family office professionals — deploying capital and managing transitions

🔄 Restructuring and turnaround advisors — when post-close reality requires a course correction

🤝 Organizational and culture consultants — because integration is fundamentally a people problem

The common thread is not a job title. It's deal literacy, transaction experience, and a seat at the table that actually matters!

💡 What to Expect

Our meetings are designed for practitioners, not spectators. Every session balances expert content with real conversation — and we hold the room to a higher standard than most.

🧠 Expert and panel sessions — deep dives with experienced practitioners on the topics that matter most to deal professionals: valuation, diligence, deal structure, exit readiness, integration, capital markets, and more

💬 High-quality breakout discussions — structured prompts designed to spark substantive conversation across disciplines. You'll leave with perspective and relationships, not just a longer contact list

🤝 Cross-discipline deal intelligence — when a banker, attorney, CPA, and operator are in the same breakout, the conversation gets genuinely useful

📈 A curated professional bench — over time, this group becomes your go-to network when a deal needs a specific expertise, a warm introduction, or a trusted second opinion

Come prepared to talk deals, not hypotheticals, not elevator pitches. We want to hear about the transactions you're working on, the challenges you're navigating, the structures that surprised you, and the lessons you're carrying into the next deal. This is a room full of people who speak your language — use it. 

The more you bring, the more you'll leave with.

✅ You're a fit if:

✔️ You are actively advising on, financing, or executing transactions

✔️ You value substance over surface-level networking

✔️ You want access to a curated bench of deal-ready professionals across disciplines

✔️ You come prepared to contribute, not just collect contacts

✔️ You believe the best referral relationships are built on genuine trust and shared expertise
