CapabilitiesCorporate finance
Corporate finance advice for Vancouver companies and their owners: how much capital to raise and in what form, where to invest it, what the business is worth and when to buy, sell or hold. Financial strategy built for growth, transactions and long-term value.
When companies call us
Clients come to us when they need financial clarity rather than accounting: a decision is coming, and the numbers have to carry it.
Debt, equity or internal cash, and the mix that supports growth without giving away more than necessary.
Which projects, products or acquisitions earn more than the cost of the capital they use.
A value for a transaction, a shareholder change or simply to know where you stand.
An acquisition, a merger or an exit, and whether the timing and the price make sense.
Dividends, share buybacks or repaying shareholder loans, and what each does to the balance sheet and the owners.
Reporting that turns financial results into decisions, for directors, investors and lenders.
How we help
Corporate finance advisory for founders, CFOs, boards and investors in Vancouver who need more than spreadsheets: insight, structure and a partner at the table for the decisions that matter.
Funding options evaluated against the growth plan, and the mix of equity, debt and internal capital that keeps the business flexible.
Dynamic models to forecast growth, stress-test decisions and present them with confidence to the board or investors.
From early preparation to deal modeling and exit planning, so you understand value, structure the deal and manage the process.
Better visibility of cash, tighter working capital and a forecast that stays ahead of needs during growth or change.
Reporting frameworks that turn financial results into insight, aligned with what directors and investors care about.
Ongoing support alongside your finance team, or as your outsourced finance function, for budgeting, strategy and high-stakes decisions.
Corporate finance in Vancouver
Vancouver’s business environment is competitive and capital-driven. Growth-stage technology companies, owner-led mid-market businesses, resource issuers and real estate groups compete for the same lenders, investors and buyers, and each raises and deploys capital differently.
We work across that market, with the banks, private lenders, venture and private equity investors, family offices and acquirers who provide capital here. That perspective is what we bring to a client’s own decisions.
Most mid-sized companies here are still run by their founders, with personal and corporate finances closely linked. Good corporate finance separates the two, so decisions about the business are made on its own numbers.
Venture-backed companies answer to boards and investors who expect regular reporting, a credible plan and disciplined use of capital between rounds.
Vancouver is a centre for junior mining and exploration companies on the TSX Venture Exchange and the CSE, where project economics, financing and market visibility move together.
Real estate, construction and infrastructure businesses tie up large amounts of capital for long periods, so financing structure and timing matter as much as returns.
Our view
Raising money, buying a competitor, investing in a new line or paying a dividend all draw on the same pool of capital. Taken one at a time, each can look sensible and still leave the business stretched.
We look at them together. The question is always the same: does this use of capital create more value than the alternatives, at a level of risk the owners accept?

How an engagement works
Some engagements are a single decision; others are an ongoing role alongside your team. You receive a written proposal with the scope and fee before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Advice on how a company raises, invests and returns capital: financing, capital structure, valuation, mergers and acquisitions, and the planning that ties them together.
Accounting records and reports what has happened. Corporate finance uses those numbers to decide what to do next: how to fund the business, where to invest and when to buy or sell.
Startups and scale-ups preparing to raise or sell, mid-market companies seeking a better financial structure, private equity-backed companies in transition, and founders, CFOs and finance teams who need more capacity.
Yes. Many clients use us to add capacity and an outside view on major decisions, working with the CFO and the board rather than around them.
Yes. We advise on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising and business valuation, and we often support the financing that goes with them.
There is overlap on transactions, but corporate finance covers the wider set of capital decisions, many of which never become a deal. See our investment banking page for transaction advice.
It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal setting out the scope, the stages and the fees, so the cost is clear before any work begins.
No. Vancouver is our home base, and we work with companies across British Columbia and Canada, and on cross-border matters.
