Gaviller & Company joins Collins Barrow

Posted: September 26, 2014

Collingwood, Meaford, Owen Sound, Walkerton, Toronto, ON – Founded in 1950, Gaviller & Company, a regional chartered professional accounting firm serving the Collingwood, Meaford, Owen Sound and Walkerton, Ontario, areas, has joined Collins Barrow. Now operating as Collins Barrow SGB, the firm is part of an expanding network of 26 independent member firms across Canada.

“Gaviller & Company is firmly entrenched in the region with extensive experience working with companies of all sizes and across industry sectors,” notes the firm’s Executive Partner Janet Currie. “In Collins Barrow we found an entrepreneurial mindset that aligns well with our own. We also gain the bench strength and strategic resources necessary to bring added value to our clients while meeting their increasingly complex needs.”

“Welcoming as established a firm as Gaviller to our network, the fifth mid-market major to come on board since the 2012 launch of our aggressive growth strategy, is proof again of how effectively we’re punching above our weight class,” says Harry Blum, chair of Collins Barrow National’s firm recruitment initiative. “At the rate our foothold in strategic markets is expanding, we’re well on our way to becoming the fastest growing accounting organization in the country.”

Adds Collins Barrow National Chair Dan Longlade, “Gaviller is an important new addition to our network, but perhaps the biggest winners are their clients, giving them access to our one-stop-shop that can answer all their audit, tax and financial advisory needs.”
