"We knew we had an important choice to make that would shape the future of our firm. Either, follow the path of many others who merge into the Big 4 or set out our own path with like minded entrepreneurs. This merger is a culmination of our objective to become the leading mid-market firm in Toronto and with Collins Barrow Toronto we have reached this goal".
