Montreal | Ready to Come Home?

Leading B2B Information Services Firm

Ready to Trade Wall Street for the Old Port?

Build Your Own Practice – No partner pyramid. Make a name for yourself directly with Large Cap PE clients and build teams around your expertise.

Product Innovation at Scale – Help productize Commercial Due Diligence into a SaaS model, leveraging Europe’s largest research team (750+ professionals) to create scalable solutions for the PE market.

Direct Client Impact – Work directly with investment professionals at top-tier PE firms. Own relationships, drive strategy, and see immediate results from your recommendations.

Come Home to Montreal – Trade the NYC consulting grind for Montreal’s vibrant startup ecosystem, world-class quality of life, and that perfect blend of North American business culture with European sophistication. Work from an office home base instead of living out of a suitcase.

Entrepreneurial Environment – Huge scope to innovate new products and services in one of Canada’s most dynamic business hubs, with government support for tech innovation and a thriving bilingual professional community.

International Growth Story – Join a Financial Times-recognised fastest-growing European company for 5 consecutive years, establishing its North American presence with Montreal as the strategic hub.
