BDO Canada LLP and Nadler and Company merger creates stronger franchise and retail advisor
August 23, 2010
TORONTO: Nadler and Company (“Nadler”) and BDO Canada LLP (“BDO”) are pleased to announce the merger of their professional services. The merged firm will operate under the BDO Canada LLP name.
BDO will provide accounting and advisory services to both public and private companies, building on the successful operations of both BDO and Nadler across Canada.
Both firms have achieved high levels of success as independent entities. Nadler will relocate to the BDO Toronto North office located in Markham and, together with offices in Burlington, Mississauga and downtown Toronto, the firm will include more than 450 professionals, including 68 partners in the GTA Region. Additionally, clients will have access to an expanded talent pool of almost 2,400 partners and professionals across Canada, as well as access to the international BDO network that spans over 100 countries.
According to Nadler partners, "We view this merger as an opportunity to expand the services we provide to our clients. BDO’s geographical reach and focus on entrepreneurial, private and family business in Canada and across the globe will ensure that our clients’ needs are met, while also opening the door to greater opportunities within the marketplace.”
Allan Rudolph, Markham Office Managing Partner of BDO, noted: “This merger not only helps us maintain a strong position in the Toronto marketplace, but the combined firm will have enhanced strength, capacity, depth, and market credibility to compete in marketplaces across Canada.”
Keith Farlinger, CEO of BDO in Canada, added: “BDO has been a leader in certain sectors like franchise and retail. Merging with another market leader like Nadler and Company clearly indicates that we are proactively seeking opportunities to grow our business and enhance what we can offer to our clients as we continue to make BDO ‘more than you think’.”
The merger will benefit current franchise and retail clients by providing the best of both worlds: the quality service they have become accustomed to, and a greatly expanded breadth of services that include further breadth of taxation, business advisory and valuation services.
