Global Independent Advisory
Greenhill's Toronto M&A team, part of Mizuho since 2023, alongside Mizuho's Canadian bank and dealer.
Greenhill entered Canada in June 2006 by buying Toronto-based Beaufort Partners. Since Mizuho acquired Greenhill in December 2023, the business has operated as Mizuho | Greenhill. Mizuho has two Canadian offices: Toronto (40 King Street West), home to Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Mizuho Securities Canada Inc. and Greenhill & Co. Canada Ltd.; and Calgary, home to the bank and securities dealer. The Toronto advisory team handles M&A, special-committee and restructuring work; in 2025 Greenhill & Co. Canada advised Innergex's special committee on its C$10 billion take-private by La Caisse. Toronto hires full-time and summer Analysts and Associates.

Reasons that work in interviews
4 reasons for Mizuho / Greenhill
Anchor the answer to the Toronto or Calgary office rather than the global brand. “Why Goldman” answered with global league tables is the single most common failure in this category.
One of the top shops in Canada to get exposure to boutique advisory work in a small and lean team where you see a variety of deals across M&A, capital raising and restructuring.
An independent advisory brand now sitting behind a global bank balance sheet, which is a genuinely unusual combination and still being worked out.
Greenhill's conflict-free advisory heritage plus Mizuho's financing capability means mandates the standalone firm could not have pursued.
Small team, large parent: the responsibility profile of a boutique with resources behind it.

Sit inside investment banking and work across the coverage teams rather than holding clients of their own. M&A is the one to understand: it does the modelling and execution on deals most coverage groups originate.
