Buy-Side Public M&A database reccomendations

Hello WSO

One of my NYSE clients mentioned to me they are interested in M&A for a specific industry in the USA/Canada. My firm is traditionally on the sell-side where we represent a public company. I am young and eager to outperform my peers, and I convinced them for me to be on their buy-side advisory. I've done all I think I can from google/linkedin searches for what my client wants. 

For those of you who are more on the buy-side of public markets, is there a database/service you would reccomend?
