Xylinx LLC, a financial advisory firm serving privately held businesses and private equity investors, has announced the acquisition of Pivot Business Group, a female-founded firm providing accounting, tax, bookkeeping and fractional CFO services to growing businesses.

The combined organization will offer coordinated support across accounting, tax advisory, fractional CFO services, valuation, financial due diligence, and mergers and acquisitions advisory. A combined team of 35 professionals will help businesses strengthen their financial foundations, navigate increasingly complex needs, and prepare for institutional investment, a future transaction, or an eventual sale.

The deal reflects a broader pattern in the accounting and advisory industry, where firms offering outsourced CFO, bookkeeping, and tax services have become frequent acquisition targets as larger advisory platforms seek to add recurring-revenue service lines and offer clients a continuous relationship from early-stage financial management through exit transactions. Fractional CFO services, in particular, have grown in demand among mid-market companies that need senior financial leadership without the cost of a full-time hire.

"Pam and the Pivot team have built a strong business by making financial information approachable and actionable," said Jeff Johnson, president of Xylinx. "By bringing our teams together, we can identify and fill financial gaps earlier, solve increasingly complex challenges and provide the expertise clients need throughout every stage of growth."

Xylinx has represented hundreds of sellers on transactions ranging from $1M to $100M EBITDA and valuations up to $500M.

"Pivot has grown by helping business owners understand their numbers and make confident decisions," said Pam Jordan, founder and CEO of Pivot. "Joining Xylinx allows us to preserve the trusted relationships and straightforward guidance our clients value while giving them access to greater capacity and a higher level of tax and financial expertise as their needs evolve."

Jordan will remain a leader and the public face of the business, providing continuity for clients while expanding their access to Xylinx's resources and specialized expertise. Retaining founders in leadership roles is a common feature of such acquisitions, since client relationships in accounting and advisory services are typically personal and central to the acquired firm's value.

According to the announcement, the acquisition expands Xylinx's ability to support businesses from day-to-day financial management through periods of growth, institutional investment, and eventual sale. More information is available at xylinxllc.com.
