About Us
About Mirabilys
Mirabilys is a turnaround and value creation firm built by operators for owners, investors, and boards who want real change, not just reports. From Montreal and across Quebec to the rest of Canada and North America, we step into complex situations, take responsibility, and guide companies through critical transitions.
| OUR PHILOSOPHY |
Businesses rarely fail because people do not care. They struggle because complexity grows faster than systems, markets shift faster than plans, and problems compound quietly until they become visible all at once. We see every business turnaround as a chance to uncover the real potential inside a company and to protect the value created by years of hard work.
Our philosophy is simple: start with reality, move quickly, and build solutions the existing team can own. Turnaround consulting and restructuring advisory work only matter if they translate into clear priorities on the floor, on the shop line, in the branches, and in the leadership meetings that shape each week.
We do not sit in a separate room and comment. We step into interim management roles, share responsibility for outcomes, and stay close to the data and the people. That is how we help companies in Quebec, Canada, and beyond recover, rebuild, and grow again.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Built different.
Proven through action.
Operator-led, not analyst-led
Mirabilys was created by an operator who has spent years in leadership roles, not just in advisory seats. That background shapes everything: how we read a cash flow, how we listen to managers, how we speak with lenders, and how we sequence change. When we provide turnaround management or interim CEO, COO, or CFO support, we bring lived experience of what it means to carry full P&L responsibility.
Hands-on and present in the business
We are physically present in plants, offices, and warehouses when it matters, especially for middle-market businesses across Quebec and Canada that rely on people and processes, not just software. Our restructuring advisory work is grounded in what we see and do, not just what the numbers suggest.
Aligned economics and skin in the game
Our engagement models include success fees and equity participation where appropriate. This keeps us aligned with owners and private equity firms focused on value creation. We think like investors, but we act as operators, which helps bridge the gap between capital expectations and day-to-day operational reality.
Practical creativity in constrained situations
In a distressed business or a pressured private equity portfolio company, options often look limited. We specialize in finding unconventional, practical paths through constraints: re-sequencing initiatives, reshaping covenants with lenders, or re-designing operations without disrupting revenue.
Local roots, broader reach
We understand the context of Quebec and the Canadian middle-market, including language, labor dynamics, and financing landscape. At the same time, our approach is compatible with North American investors, lenders, and strategic buyers. That combination makes Mirabilys a useful bridge between local operators and global capital.
HOW WE WORK
A consistent approach
Every situation is different, but the way we engage is consistent: clear, structured, and focused on momentum from the first weeks.
Listen and understand
We start with focused conversations, a rapid review of financials and operations, and a clear mapping of stakeholders. The goal is to understand where value is created, where it is lost, and what constraints are real versus perceived.
Stabilize the core
We then put immediate controls around cash, operational risks, and key relationships. This may include a short-term cash management routine, quick operational fixes, and a communication plan for lenders, employees, and the board.
Design and test the path forward
With stability in place, we design a practical performance improvement and business turnaround plan. We test options quickly, learn from early wins and setbacks, and refine the path so it fits the company's capacity to execute.
Build independence and transition
Our aim is not to stay forever. As performance improves, we reinforce the management team, clarify roles, and embed operating rhythms so the business can sustain value creation without our daily involvement. We then transition responsibilities cleanly to permanent leadership.
OUR VALUES
What guides us
Ownership
We act like owners. Every decision, every recommendation, every action is made as if our own capital were at stake. This mindset shapes how we prioritize, how we communicate, and how we measure success.
Clarity
We cut through complexity to find what matters. In turnaround situations, clarity is not a luxury. It is the foundation for speed, alignment, and trust across all stakeholders.
Respect
We treat every person in an organization with dignity, regardless of title. The people closest to the work often hold the keys to improvement. Listening with respect unlocks insight and earns commitment.
Practicality
We focus on what can be done, not what sounds good in theory. Every recommendation must be executable within real constraints of time, budget, and capability.
Learning
We stay curious and adapt quickly. Each engagement teaches us something new. We bring those lessons forward, but we never assume past solutions fit new problems without testing them first.
GET STARTED
Start with a clear, honest view of your situation
If you would like an outside operator's perspective on your business, portfolio company, or board mandate, we can schedule a confidential discussion and provide initial thoughts on options and priorities.
