MIAMI, FL, January 6, 2026 – Crown Peak Advisors, LLC, today announced the launch of its strategic M&A advisory and investment banking firm built exclusively for the managed service provider (MSP) and IT services sector. Built by founders, operators and M&A advisors, the firm delivers bespoke investment banking services grounded in deep MSP industry expertise, guiding founder-owned businesses through M&A transactions.

Crown Peak was founded by Michael Ifraimov, who draws on two decades of experience across operational leadership, M&A advisory and corporate finance. Ifraimov most recently served as Vice President of Corporate Development at Netsurit, a founder-owned MSP and digital transformation platform, where he led M&A strategy and execution. During his tenure, he completed five acquisitions that significantly scaled the platform, and optimized its capital structure.

“Selling an MSP is not just a transaction, it is a defining moment for a founder,” said Ifraimov. “Crown Peak was built for founders who want a true partner at the table, one who understands MSP economics, culture and the realities of life post-transaction.”

Crown Peak combines the experience and institutional relationships of a global investment bank, including deep ties across private equity, family offices, lenders and strategic MSP platforms, with the agility, accessibility and alignment of a founder-built firm. The firm’s focus and breadth of experience enable it to deliver institutional-grade execution to middle-market founders.

Crown Peak is deeply embedded in the MSP ecosystem, actively participating in industry events, providing thought leadership and maintaining ongoing market dialogue that helps shape transaction dynamics.

​“Having led M&A for an acquisitive MSP and advised founder-owned businesses through multiple acquisitions,” added Ifraimov, “we understand what matters most to MSP owners:

• Protecting people and culture;

• Maintaining client continuity and excellence; and

• Achieving the right valuation and structure.

We combine operator-level strategic insight with disciplined execution, aligning founder, advisor and investor perspectives to guide founders through a transaction, maximizing value and certainty of close.”
