Advisor to Special Committee on Strategic Review Process
MPA’s senior staff have decades of experience in advising public and private company boards, trustees, and regulatory bodies in complex and often controversial situations.
We provide written fairness opinions, expert evidence reports and related testimony, and both formal and ad hoc valuation reports, all on flexible commercial terms designed to align our interests with yours. While our work fits within traditional industry practice, we’re usually asked to do deeper dives and adapt our work to highly specific scenarios. MPA is often the first call for complex deals – a market segment that does not fit the big bank or accounting firm model. Our active M&A business insights and depth of analysis contributes to our reputation for credibility which enhances our ability to stand as an expert and defend our views under cross examination.
MPA provides trusted financial advisory services to a wide range of Canadian businesses—from early-stage growth companies to publicly listed firms—offering the personalized support that larger banks often overlook. With decades of experience across all major sectors, we help our clients navigate complex transactions including M&A, private equity raises, debt offerings, carve-outs, and strategic reviews. We pride ourselves on being creative, agile, and deeply attuned to each client’s unique needs. Guided by a people-first philosophy rooted in honesty and integrity, we’re a hands-on partner at every stage of the transaction process.
At MPA, we’ve spent over 15 years providing financial advice to mission-driven organizations—including Indigenous communities, not-for-profits, governments, and agencies—where success isn’t measured by profit, but by impact. We understand the unique challenges these clients face and specialize in translating complex financial concepts into clear, actionable strategies. Whether it’s accessing capital markets or navigating a one-of-a-kind situation, we listen closely, dig deep, and work hard to ensure financial solutions align with broader organizational goals. Guided by our people-first philosophy and a reputation for integrity and straight talk, we’re proud to be the trusted partner for clients who need tailored advice in non-traditional contexts.
At MPA, we understand the responsibility and personal liability that comes with serving on a Board or acting as a Trustee—especially in challenging situations—and we’re committed to helping mitigate risk and deliver the right outcomes. Unlike many large banks and accounting firms that limit their advice due to litigation concerns, we provide the independent, in-depth analysis and expert opinions that the situation truly demands. With deep capital markets and advisory experience, we support clients in litigation, regulatory matters, and complex financial disputes, offering clear explanations and walking through the details to ensure our advice is both sound and actionable. That’s why regulators, lawyers, and fiduciaries trust us when the stakes are high and the issues are complex.
