Marie-Claude Péthel

Partner, U.S. and International Tax Department Leader

CPA

Working alongside ambitious entrepreneurs, helping them turn their ideas into tangible projects and conquer new markets is a constant source of motivation for me.

Every day, I support my clients in their cross-border expansion, mainly into the United States, by translating complex tax rules into clear, concrete and effective solutions. My aim: to give them the peace of mind they need to focus fully on their growth and ambitions.

Every meeting with a customer is a real exploration. Diving into their reality, understanding their vision, anticipating their needs: it’s in these exchanges that my role takes on its full meaning. Thanks to my in-depth knowledge and strategic experience, I can propose tax solutions that are both optimized and compliant. Complex transactions are challenges that I welcome with enthusiasm, because they require a skilful blend of rigor, creativity and pragmatism.

As leader of the tax department at Demers Beaulne, I am driven by the success of my clients as much as by that of the talents I have the privilege of guiding. Seeing my team evolve, gain confidence and flourish is an immense source of pride. I love to inspire the people around me. Human relationships are at the heart of everything I do, and my approach to leadership is rooted in closeness, authenticity and sharing.
