You hire the firm. You get the people who actually do the work.

Lane Gordon is the Managing Director and founder of 733Park, the Boston-based boutique M&A advisory firm that built its reputation on a simple promise: when a founder hires 733Park, they get Lane personally. Not a junior associate. Not a rotating team. The same senior banker who runs the pitch is the one running the process, negotiating the LOI, and staying in the room until close.

Lane's M&A career traces back through two predecessor firms. He spent more than a decade as a senior advisor at Preston Todd Advisors and at PT Consulting Services, focused on payments industry transactions. He founded 733Park in 2006 to carry that practice forward with a sharper focus on boutique service quality and deeper vertical specialization. The continuity of relationships from those years remains 733Park's most valuable operating asset.

Lane's transactional experience spans the breadth of payments and adjacent verticals: ISO and merchant portfolio sales, processor and gateway acquisitions, payfac transactions, payment-enabled vertical SaaS, embedded finance platforms, cross-border payments infrastructure, AI-native fintech, and consumer-facing payments products. He has personally represented founders and acquirers in transactions ranging from single-portfolio dispositions under $5 million to strategic transactions over $200 million.

Across 209 closed deals and $10 billion in transaction volume, Lane has built one of the deepest active buyer rolodexes in payments M&A. That rolodex spans Tier 1 strategic acquirers, mid-market PE platforms, family offices, ISO consolidators, and global banks active in cross-border. The relationships are first-name, mobile-number relationships, not generic banker outreach lists.

Lane lives in the Boston area and serves clients nationally, with selective work in Canada and Europe. He is a frequent industry speaker on payments M&A and is regularly cited by media and analysts on transaction trends in payments, fintech, AI, and SaaS.

Tom Yacavone is a Senior Advisor at 733Park, supporting deal execution across the firm's sell-side and buy-side engagements. His operator background means clients work with someone who has lived through the same questions they are asking now: how to position the business, what buyers actually pay attention to, how to navigate diligence, and how to think about post-close.

Tom has spent his career inside the payments industry, with particular depth in ISO economics, merchant portfolio transactions, and the buyer-side dynamics of payments roll-up programs. He works closely with Lane on every engagement, with primary responsibility for diligence coordination and buyer-side execution.
