Canadian Investment Bank
Toronto mid-market M&A boutique (NewPoint Capital Partners) operating as the Canadian member of Clairfield International.
Clairfield in Canada is the Canadian arm of the Clairfield International advisory network, run by its Canadian partner firm NewPoint Capital Partners Inc., an independent mid-market investment bank founded in Toronto in 1997. It advises mainly Canadian middle-market companies on M&A, divestitures, private financings, restructurings and management buyouts, with depth in healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, building products, consumer goods and business services. Recent work leans heavily on repeat acquisitive clients such as Richards Group and Harbourfront Wealth, plus cross-border mandates run with Clairfield colleagues abroad. The team is small: a managing partner, two partners and a vice president lead deals from Toronto.

Reasons that work in interviews
2 reasons for NewPoint / Clairfield Canada
At this size the interviewer is usually a founding partner, so a reason assembled from the firm’s homepage will not survive. Build the answer from four things instead, in order: one named transaction from their tombstones and what you found interesting about it; who you would report to, and what you want to learn from them specifically; why small, in your own words, tied to something you have actually done; and why this sector or region, if the firm has one.
Canadian member of a global mid-market network, so cross-border mandates reach a small team.
Mid-market sell-side for private owners.

Open roles on BSO Jobs1
NewPoint / Clairfield Canada works as one generalist team: bankers staff deals across these sectors rather than joining a group, so there is no group to pick when you apply. Clairfield Canada (formerly NewPoint) is a Toronto-based mid-market M&A boutique with a business development office in Windsor and a tech-focused presence in Montreal; it names its industry verticals on its Canada page rather than running formal sector groups.
