A boutique investment bank set up by a group of former Deloitte dealmakers is looking to grow to more than 100 bankers as it sets its sights on becoming a mid-market challenger.

Continuum Advisory Partners, which was launched by a group of financial institutions-focused bankers in December 2022, has grown to a team of around 40 dealmakers over two years and has ambitions to take on larger rivals, according to its founder and chair Cahal Dowds.
