MNP adds team from Montreal South Shore firm MTA CPA

MNP, a national accounting and consulting firm, has added a team of professionals from MTA CPA Inc., an accountancy based in the South Shore of Montreal, effective October 1.

MTA’s office will form MNP’s new South Shore of Montreal location. Six partners – Sylvain Fontenelle, Nicole Peterson, Roxanne Rinfret, Daniel Blanchet, Patrick Lafleur, and Sylvain Morneau – will join MNP alongside a team of approximately 30 professionals.

Founding partners Gilles Massie and Donald Turcotte, as well as partners Benjamin Poupart and Jacques Gagnon, will not be joining MNP. 

Founded in 1981, MTA provides audit, bookkeeping, tax, and management consulting services to small- and medium-sized enterprises in a wide range of industries.

“We’ve been looking for the right people to support our growth in the South Shore of Montreal for some time,” said Jean-Philippe Langevin, regional managing partner for MNP’s Greater Montreal Area. “It is at the core of a thriving business community, which has made it a vitally important part of the region’s economy, and so we are delighted to build on our existing presence there. We are very excited to welcome our new partners and their team, all of whom share our values and client-centric approach, into the MNP fold.”

The Calgary-headquartered firm entered the Quebec market in 2011 and today has more than 190 partners and over 1,400 team members in the province. MNP earlier this year acquired BDG CPA Inc., a boutique accountancy based in St-Hyacinthe, and Dallaire & Lapointe Inc., a boutique accountancy based in Rouyn-Noranda.

The firm has more than 8,200 people in 125+ offices coast-to-coast providing accounting, tax, and consulting services to clients across industries.

“We are particularly excited about the personalized experience MNP brings in tailoring solutions to entrepreneurial businesses in Quebec,” said Fontenelle. “MNP truly understands our business community and brings fantastic bench strength that we believe will help us provide even greater value to our clients.”
