National accounting firm MNP has expanded its eastern Ontario presence with the acquisition of two Baker Tilly member firms, bringing their combined 25 partners and 200 team members into the company effective September 21.
The acquired firms have offices in Ottawa, Gatineau, Carleton Place, Cobden, Kemptville, Morrisburg, Pembroke, and Winchester. Both firms have provided accounting, tax, and advisory services to private enterprises for more than 50 years.
"We are very happy to welcome both firms' teams and clients to MNP," said Jared Bourne, MNP's executive vice-president for Ontario outside the Greater Toronto Area. "Like our existing team across Eastern Ontario, they have a deep understanding of the region's business community and an entrepreneurial focus on helping mid-market organizations thrive. By bringing our teams together, we will be even better positioned to support all our clients and communities with a wide breadth of services."
Both firms will continue operating from their current offices. Among the partners joining MNP are Michael Hayward and Benjamin Mann.
Hayward said the move strengthens the firm's ability to serve its clients. "As we looked to grow our firm but maintain the culture, autonomy and agility that enables us to offer the tailored solutions our clients expect, we knew that MNP's Canadian partner-owned and partner-led approach was the right fit for our team. They furthermore strengthen our current service offerings and bring additional technology and resources that will better position our team and our clients for long-term success."
Mann, whose offices are based in rural eastern Ontario heavily concentrated in agriculture, said MNP's national agriculture expertise was a deciding factor. "With MNP's commitment to agriculture clients, including their existing offices in Hawkesbury, Cornwall, Brockville and Casselman, we knew we would work well together."
MNP now has more than 700 partners across Canada and has made numerous acquisitions in eastern Ontario since 2014.
