Industry Insight: Facility Services 2026 Update (opens in a new tab)
Sequeira's sector note says facility services deal volume slowed in 2026 while buyers became more selective.
Canadian Investment Bank
Western Canada's largest independent sell-side M&A and valuation boutique, with offices in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver.
Sequeira Partners is an independent mid-market advisory firm founded in 2010 by Aroon Sequeira and Mark McRae. It does two things: deal advisory, mostly sell-side sales of private Western Canadian businesses plus some buy-side and financing mandates, and corporate valuations. It calls itself Western Canada's largest boutique advisory firm. Its 27-person team page lists staff in Edmonton (the largest group), Calgary and Vancouver, and its deals come mainly from industrial, energy services, distribution, insurance and business services, and technology owners. It is one of the few western-based boutique options for Prairie and BC students, and many of its bankers hold CPA, CA and CBV designations.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Sequeira Partners
Western Canadian mid-market advisory with Vancouver and Calgary presence, so the client base is owner-operators rather than public companies.
Sell-side mandates for private businesses mean you see valuation negotiated rather than benchmarked.
Small team with long-tenured partners, so mentorship is structural rather than programmatic.

Sequeira Partners 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. Western Canadian mid-market boutique organised into two practices, Deal Advisory and Valuations, across Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver; industries are listed firm-wide without office attribution.

Summer Analyst · Canada
The independents recruit on their own campus cycles rather than a common one, and the spread is wide: some post in the autumn for the summer after next, while others close as late as the end of January. Postings often sit on school career boards rather than a public careers page, so check both. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for Sequeira Partners on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
Co-op / Off-cycle intern · Canada
Fall and winter terms are a real route in at this size — the classes are smaller than the summer one and the competition is thinner, and a good off-cycle term usually converts. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for Sequeira Partners on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
