Welcome to Rice Advisory LLC

You have a destination in mind. Your destination could be an acquisition or a divestiture; a major capital investment or a simple restructuring. Used to be, the road to your destination was well marked, and as long as you followed your industry’s maps and signs you’d eventually get where you wanted to go. Then the maps were torn up and somebody knocked over the signs.

With knowledge, experience and access to capital, Rice Advisory assists corporations, municipalities and institutions find their way through a re-emerging economy. Whether you have a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition opportunity or your organization simply needs capital to breathe and regroup, Rice Advisory can provide you with the new roadmap you need to reach your destination.

We have successfully completed over 300 transactions, raising more than $6 billion in debt and equity financing for our clients. Combined, we have almost 100 years of hands-on transactional experience and the well-earned respect of our clients. You know where you want to go. Let us help you get there.
