About Fire Power Capital:

Fire Power Capital is the M&A Advisory and Private Capital firm built for Canada's entrepreneurs. The firm helps mid-market businesses complete mission-critical transactions.

Role

Description:

The continued growth of our M&A Advisory division has created the need for an Analyst supporting origination and execution. This is a dual role: you will identify, evaluate and engage prospective clients, and you will support our deal teams on active mandates. It is ideally suited to someone seeking to make a meaningful contribution in one of the more entrepreneurial areas of Canadian corporate finance.

This is a hybrid position, with an expectation of three days per week in office.

Responsibilities:

In this role, your responsibilities involve the identification, evaluation and outreach to potential clients in order to foster meaningful dialogues that align with the objectives of the M&A Advisory leadership team. You will be instrumental in propelling these discussions forward.

You will establish connections with business owners and senior executives, including CEOs, CFOs, presidents and managing directors, primarily through phone, email and Linked In. In collaboration with the leadership team, you will research prospective clients and their sectors, communicate Fire Power’s value proposition, and conduct initial qualifying conversations. You will document your outreach carefully in our CRM, making full use of the tools available to you.

You will additionally support the M&A Advisory team on active mandates, contributing to credentials and pitch materials, comparable company and precedent transaction analyses, and buyer and target research on sell-side and buy-side engagements.

As a self-starter, you are goal-oriented, communicate exceptionally well, and are motivated by exceeding your targets. Consistent achievement beyond your objectives will provide a pathway for advancement within our M&A Advisory team.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Understand the M&A Advisory team’s criteria for each new business opportunity (i.e., sectors, revenue levels, margin criteria, EBITDA thresholds, business models, etc.).
• Construct, cultivate and manage prospect lists, and research target sectors to prepare the market context and transaction precedents that inform credible first conversations.
• Initiate contact with prospects through email, phone calls and Linked In outreach, and manage structured follow-up sequences through to a response.
• Conduct introductory qualifying conversations with business owners and senior executives, and assess opportunities against the team’s mandate criteria.
• Contribute to credentials decks, pitch materials and market updates for prospective clients.
• Prepare comparable company and precedent transaction analyses to support valuation discussions.
• Assist with the preparation of information memoranda and supporting materials on active sell-side and buy-side mandates.
• Represent the firm at industry conferences and events, including the preparation of target lists and the scheduling of meetings in advance of attendance.
• Maintain an accurate record of activities in our CRM, and adopt data-driven practices to enhance individual performance.
• Consistently meet or surpass individual performance objectives, and demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and development.

This role reports to the M&A Advisory leadership team on a day-to-day basis and will be working closely with the Directors of the M&A Advisory group.
