- About the Practice
An independent advisory firm for decisions of consequence.
Mercer Carter is led by senior practitioners with decades of strategic, operational and corporate finance experience. We accept a deliberately limited number of mandates each year and remain accountable for the outcome from first conversation through execution.

Bevin Carter
Bevin Carter founded Mercer Carter to provide boards, investors and principal owners with the kind of independent counsel rarely available inside larger institutions: senior, conflict-free, and accountable to the result.
Over a career spanning corporate strategy, transactions and capital markets, Bevin has advised executive teams across financial services, industrials, technology and private capital — leading engagements through complex restructurings, growth fundraises and cross-border M&A.
