François Nasaroui brings 25+ years across corporate finance, mergers & acquisitions, and accounting—focused on Canadian small and mid-sized businesses. He founded FINMA Inc. to give owners and management teams practical, execution-ready advice: buy-side/sell-side M&A, capital strategies, valuations, and transaction services—all anchored in disciplined analysis and clean, audit-ready numbers.
François’ combination of deal stamina, operator-level pragmatism, and tight financial controls makes him a trusted consigliere for entrepreneurs navigating growth, exits, and succession.
The Foundation of Execution
François cut his teeth inside demanding finance and accounting environments where cash reality meets strategy. Early in his career he learned the hard truths that still guide FINMA’s approach today:
Numbers must reconcile.
Diligence must surface risk early.
Negotiations must move the deal—or be reset fast.
This bias for clarity and speed shows up in every FINMA mandate.

François’ Edge
25+ years in finance & deals: full-cycle experience from sourcing and modeling to SPA terms and post-close integration.
Operator’s mindset: accounting discipline + commercial instincts; no ivory-tower theory.
Tight integration: M&A + corporate finance + accounting under one roof, so diligence aligns with the model you’ll actually run.
SME reality: right-sized process, right-sized fees, and zero fluff.
Bottom line: If you’re a Canadian SMB owner looking to buy, sell, recapitalize, or professionalize, François turns complexity into actionable decisions and bankable outcomes.
