Jeff Hanley, CPA, CA, MNP's Regional Managing Partner for Southeastern Ontario, said that the move reflects MNP's continued commitment to investing in the region:

"We are very happy to welcome the Johnston Beaudette Chartered Professional Accountants team to our Firm. Like our existing group in Cornwall, they have a deep understanding of the region's business community and a focus on helping mid-market companies thrive. By bringing our two teams together, we will be even better positioned to support all our clients with a wide breadth of services."

Founded in 1958, MNP has grown to more than 130 locations across Canada and delivers a wide range of services and specialized expertise in every sector and area of business. In addition to tax and accounting, MNP offers a diverse range of consulting and advisory services, including succession planning, estate planning, enterprise risk, corporate finance, valuation and litigation support, insolvency and restructuring, digital strategies, cross-border taxation, and much more.

"We are thrilled to welcome Josée and her team to the MNP family." added Jared Bourne, CPA, CA, Executive Vice President, Ontario outside GTA at MNP.
