The M&A Club Academy

No one learns mergers and acquisitions in school — yet understanding the full process is essential to achieving successful transactions. The M&A Club Academy bridges that gap with practical training for executives and professionals, with several new programs launching in the coming weeks.

Growth Through Acquisition

Accelerate your company’s growth through strategic acquisitions.

A unique program designed for women entrepreneurs leading businesses with over $10 million in annual revenue. Learn how to use acquisitions as a strategic lever to scale your company, while gaining access to a network of M&A experts.

Why this program?

Québec is on the brink of an unprecedented wave of business transfers—an historic opportunity for growth. Yet fewer than 20% of private companies are owned by women, and acquisition-led growth remains largely underutilized by women leaders.

This program was created to bridge that gap.

Our goal: to equip women executives with the tools to evaluate, structure, and successfully complete acquisitions, while avoiding missed opportunities or a slowdown in growth.

Training Partners

The training sessions are delivered by recognized experts from our partner organizations.

Who is this program for?

  • Own or lead an established company with approximately $10M in annual revenue
  • Will lead or actively participate in managing a transaction (CFO, VP Finance, senior executives)

  • Want to structure their approach and avoid common pitfalls
