Valitas Capital Partners is a Toronto boutique offering M&A, corporate finance and strategic advisory work to owners of high-performing private businesses with a potential value of at least $100 million, framed around helping them discover, grow ('unleash') and realize value through sales, financings and acquisitions. It was founded by Paris Aden, a former Morgan Stanley, CSFB and RBC Capital Markets banker and Clairvest investor, and pairs a small banking team with a bench of industry and operating advisors. For students, Valitas runs a four-month Analyst Development Program that it uses as a pipeline for full-time associate hires.
Advice on full or partial sales, recapitalizations and management buyouts, including timing and structuring choices for owners taking money off the table.
Debt and equity financing advice and buy-side acquisition support, offered on an ongoing basis to select clients through its Enterprise Value Architect programme.
Assessments of current business value and plans to increase it over roughly five years, supported by the firm's operating and industry advisors.

Reasons that work in interviews
3 reasons for Valitas Capital Partners
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.
Sell-side mid-market specialist, which means every mandate is a full process rather than a buy-side screen.
Industrials and business services focus.
Senior-heavy team: the ratio of partners to juniors is the opposite of a bank.

Valitas Capital 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. Toronto mid-market M&A, corporate finance and strategic advisory boutique that organises its services as Discover, Unleash and Realize Value rather than by industry.
