Kirk Michie Biography

Kirk Michie, the founder of Candor Advisors, is among the nation’s leading financial experts and has successfully set himself apart in the industry by creating a unique approach for private company founders looking to sell their businesses. He identifies the “why” behind their desire to sell and creates a custom approach for the transaction or sale, whether that be developing a successor, facilitating an internal sale to employees or management, or structuring an external sale to a strategic or financial buyer. Over the past 30 years, Michie has developed a unique and varied background, leading him to frequent guest speaking roles in industry events and entrepreneur-focused forums.

Throughout his career, he has raised over $1B in capital, has been involved with nearly 60 purchase or sale transactions, and most recently, acted as sole financial advisor to the founders of Luxx Lighting in their $215mm sale to the ScottsMiracle-Gro Company (NYSE:SMG) in December 2021. “Talk to Michie First” has become the word-of-mouth line that sparked Candor Advisors’ success in advising entrepreneurs, business owners, and high net worth families to better outcomes. Among these notable achievements, Michie has established the reputation of Guru, Guide, and Gladiator among colleagues and friends, and provides weekly insights to more than 20k private company founders.
