San Francisco — BPM LLP, a leading public accounting and advisory firm in the United States, is excited to announce its expansion into Canada through a strategic partnership with WBM Partners LLP, an esteemed accounting firm. This collaboration is anticipated to enhance BPM's capabilities and broaden its service offerings in key Canadian markets.
This proposed combination with WBM is set to significantly bolster BPM's service offerings as they aim to cater to diverse industries. WBM is well-known for its client-first approach, providing a comprehensive suite of accounting, auditing, and advisory services across sectors such as real estate, hospitality, transportation, and professional services. Additionally, WBM’s Family Office Service will further enrich the firm's offerings, incorporating tax planning, estate planning, and governance for families.
Jim Wallace, CEO of BPM, remarked, "WBM's commitment to integrity and high-quality service aligns seamlessly with our core values. We are thrilled to embrace WBM into the BPM family, ready to support our clients in achieving their aspirations while expanding our suite of services in Canada."
With this strategic partnership, BPM will add 37 new professional staff in the Greater Toronto area and Calgary. This expansion increases BPM’s Canadian footprint to three locations and its total number of employees to approximately 125.
Al Karim Moloo, Managing Partner of WBM, expressed enthusiasm about this merger, stating, "Joining forces with BPM is a thrilling opportunity for our clients and a significant advancement for our team. BPM's focus on growth and innovative practices opens up even more avenues for us to deliver higher value to our clientele. We eagerly anticipate the benefits this partnership will bring."
Additionally, Dale Williams, one of WBM’s Integrated Advisors, highlighted, "The synergy between our firms will enhance the value we deliver, particularly to our family office clientele. BPM’s extensive Family Office Services will play a crucial role in this enhancement."
This merger is a part of BPM's broader strategy to extend its global presence, enhance offerings, and better meet the evolving demands of the market. This follows several successful combinations, including a recent partnership with a firm in Las Vegas, solidifying BPM’s position as a trusted advisor to clients seeking innovative solutions.
As BPM continues its rapid growth trajectory, the firm prioritizes attracting top talent and nurturing a culture of innovation and excellence. Plans are underway to expand into additional international markets, which will enable BPM to extend its expertise and client-centric approach even further.
