We advise the owners of privately held businesses in Central Ohio
Strategic advisory and services to grow your business
How We Can Help
You may be running the business without a budget, learning how the year went only when the tax return comes back. You may have outgrown the spreadsheets and workarounds that got you here, or built a business that depends on you being in the building every day. You may need capital to grow or to make an acquisition. Or you may be thinking about selling in the next several years and need an advisor in your corner who understands the process.
If you face a business or financial problem for which neither your accountant nor your attorney is the natural advisor, those are the conversations we are here for.

Axel Clavier
Axel learned his trade in Private Equity, where his work centered on valuation, financial analysis and strategy, and the structuring of transactions.
He founded Clavier Capital to bring that same standard of analysis to the business owners of Central and Southern Ohio — the families and proprietors who have built something real, and who deserve counsel of the same caliber that larger enterprises take for granted.
An advisor should be a fixture of the community he serves — someone his clients know by name, see on Sunday, and can call on for the long term.
His aim is not to close a transaction and move on, but to serve as a steady hand in his clients' corner — ordering his work toward their good, and the good of the place they share.
Arrange a conversation
If you own something worth taking care of, the first conversation is always without obligation.
