BPM expands Canada presence with WBM Partners acquisition

BPM LLP, a San Francisco-based accounting and consulting firm, has acquired WBM Partners LLP, a Calgary-headquartered accounting and consulting firm.

WBM provides accounting, audit, tax, and business advisory services to individuals and companies in real estate and land development, hospitality, transportation, and professional services. The firm’s advisory offerings include business transition, corporate governance, M&A, and financial advisory.

WBM has 37 professionals and offices in Calgary and Toronto.

BPM’s acquisition of WBM is slated to close on June 1, 2025. The deal will expand the American accountancy’s presence in the Canadian market, which it entered last year with the launch of a Montreal office.

“We are thrilled to welcome WBM to the BPM community. Together, we're well-positioned to help clients achieve their goals and bring a full suite of services to the Canadian Market," said Jim Wallace, CEO of BPM.

BPM is the 34th-largest CPA firm in the United States, with annual revenue of $242.03 million. The firm has 14 offices in the Western US, as well as international offices in India and Canada.

"BPM's emphasis on professional development and innovation provides unparalleled opportunities for our team and ensures we can deliver even greater value to our clients,” said Al Karim Moloo, managing partner of WBM. “We are excited about the possibilities this combination brings."
