Calgary Office

While the local economy in western Canada has slowed in the past year, it remains vibrant and is perhaps one of the best positioned to benefit from the recovery when it comes. With international investors (China, the US, India, Europe, the Middle East) already here in a big way and more looking to come, western Canada will benefit from the ongoing long term demand for all commodities particularly oil, natural gas, potash, uranium, forest products, grains and cattle as well as the continuously evolving technology to optimize and manage in these sectors. Combine those natural advantages with a young, well educated population that continues to grow quickly, falling tax rates, a banking sector which remains strong and has not faced challenges familiar to so many other countries and one can understand the optimism which makes working here so enjoyable.

Our commitment to remaining independent from any investment or lending affiliates ensures that we deliver unbiased guidance. We represent only one side, your side. Imagine the advantage of tapping into the negotiating skills of a CFA principal who knows both sides of a deal.

Selling, buying or financing a business is a complex process that requires thorough preparation, skillful negotiation, and intimate knowledge of markets and financial resources. With CFA, you’ll work locally with a senior principal, who can provide expert valuation, analysis, and negotiating skills, as well as preferred access to a national and international network of CFA industry experts and resources.
