Services Pelletier, Gosselin

What Services Pelletier, Gosselin does

Services Pelletier, Gosselin (SPG) is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, that has provided consulting and operational support to nonprofit associations (organismes à but non lucratif, OBNL) since 1986. The company's offering comprises six integrated service modules: Événementiel (event management covering congresses, galas, webinars, and hybrid events), Stratégie (strategic consulting including governance, accounting, and lobbying advisory), Secrétariat (receptionist services, administrative management, mail handling, and minute-taking), Gestion des membres (member recruitment, mobilization, and management), Communication (strategic communications, graphic design, social media, and website management), and Location de salle (meeting room rental). SPG also maintains a proprietary custom-built database management software designed specifically for member management in nonprofit contexts, replacing the multiple Excel spreadsheets typically used by small associations.

SPG operates on a shared-services model, distributing a team of approximately 12 professionals — including association managers, graphic technicians/webmasters, accounting support, and senior leadership — across multiple client associations. This structure allows individual OBNLs to access specialized governance, financial, event, and communications expertise at a lower marginal cost than building equivalent in-house capacity. The company is co-owned by Lyne Major (President and CEO) and Francois Mathieu (Vice-President and Financial Controller), both of whom progressed through operational roles at SPG before taking ownership in 2013. Revenue is generated through customized service contracts and project-based engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are tailored per association.

Customer acquisition is relationship-driven, relying on direct outreach, referrals within the Quebec association community, and thought-leadership content including blog articles on OBNL management topics and CEO media appearances. The firm is privately held with no institutional investors, no external funding, and no M&A activity. SPG operates exclusively within the province of Quebec, Canada.

Direct peers
