Overview

At KPMG in Canada, our people bring their unique perspectives to Canada’s most important challenges. Here, you can build momentum that reaches beyond our business, develop skills for the future, and take ownership of your career with support at every stage. Join a firm where your career can make a difference. Regardless of the economic environment, organizations can create, enhance, and preserve value. Our Deal Advisory, Corporate Finance, and M&A professionals help buyers, sellers, private investors, public administrations, and lenders develop and execute value strategies. Large-scale transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions and major project financings, are inherently riskier than day-to-day operations. It is important for our clients to mitigate these risks as much as possible by seeking advice from experienced advisors who are familiar with these types of transactions and understand what to expect. We provide end-to-end transaction support: strategy definition, sell-side preparation, vendor assistance, financial and commercial due diligence, financial modeling, financing structuring, negotiation support, and contractual risk mitigation. We also assist clients with closing activities and financing decisions. Our Deal Advisory team encompasses the following service areas: Transaction Services, Valuation, Corporate Finance (M&A and financing), Restructuring & Turnaround, and Infrastructure Advisory. In Québec City, this integrated approach provides direct exposure to different types of transactions and multiple stages of the deal lifecycle, from initial strategy through execution, financing, and closing. Our clients include private equity funds, large public companies, private companies, financial institutions, project sponsors, and public organizations. Our professionals combine autonomy, transaction judgment, and expertise in finance, accounting, financial modeling, valuation, taxation, and financial reporting.
