Marc Bouvier is the Founder and Managing Director of Bouvier Advisors, bringing over 16 years of progressive experience in shaping fiscal operations and steering complex mergers and acquisition transactions. Marc has advised clients ranging from small businesses to bulge bracket private equity firms and Fortune 500 businesses. He has supported over 100 M&A transactions ranging in enterprise value from $5 million to $26 billion.

Marc’s passion for business started at a very young age, having grown up in a family that owned and operated a small business in the wire and cable industry. Marc’s passion expanded when he took his first accounting class in high school which paved his way to business school at Bryant University. Marc has always considered accounting to be the blueprint and transcripts of a business that tell the story of where it’s been and how it thrives.

From undergrad studies, Marc entered the world of public accounting and management consulting at a firm in Boston where he would advise mid-market private businesses on all things related to accounting, taxation, operations and business acquisitions. During a consulting engagement for a medical device manufacturer, Marc was thrust into the world of interim CFO for a client in the middle of an M&A transaction. Ultimately this encounter led Marc to pursue his next role focused on M&A deal advisory at KPMG. While at KPMG, Marc supported various corporate and private equity clients in their acquisitions and divestitures of primarily middle market businesses.

On a personal level, Marc lives in the suburbs of Boston with his wife, 3 young children and their dog, a golden retriever named Ellie. They enjoy spending time with family hiking and skiing in the White Mountains as well as summering on the beaches of Cape Cod. Marc started skiing at age 2 and has made it a point to keep the tradition going with his children as well!
