This addition reflects our commitment and focus to helping clients in the private, not-for-profit and public sectors across Canada. Our specialized services, expertise and experience will be enhanced by the BDO partners and team members who are joining us. We are thrilled to welcome these professionals to our firm."

We are proud of BDO's strong history in these communities and saying goodbye to trusted colleagues is never easy.  In working with the team at MNP we have developed a supportive transition plan for our team and clients."
