Our History

The Origins

The earliest incarnation of Adams + Miles was a merging together of two firms in 1926. From the latter stages of the roaring 20s through the Depression and post-war period, the firm made a name for providing outstanding service and trusted advice. In the late 1940s, Bruce Adams—a former Spitfire pilot—joined the firm, assumed a partnership role and retired in the 1970s.

The Name

The firm’s name changed over the years—Linton & Masin; Wilson, Masin & McLaren; Adams, Masin & Tilley—before merging practices with Allen Miles in 2008 and becoming Adams & Miles LLP. The example our predecessors set laid the foundation for our client service experience and the core values that have guided our company culture ever since.

Practice Specialization

The firm’s operational focus has also shifted. Specialized practices were built in areas such as medical care (first led by Bruce Adams), condominium accounting from the early 2000s and the non-profit organization practice founded around the same time. We continue to build these practices and seek out new expansion opportunities to meet our clients’ evolving needs.

International Growth

An emerging international focus would lead us to join AGN International, an association of more than 200 accounting firms in 90 countries. These connections have broadened our global tax, audit and business management scope and expertise, while enabling us to build relationships with AGN International member firms located across the United States and around the world.

Serving the GTA

We changed locations over the years, moving from Sheppard Avenue East in the early 1980s to Willowdale Avenue a decade later, then relocating to Consumers Road and eventually to our current home at 2550 Victoria Park Avenue. We also have a satellite office in Mississauga to better serve our west-end clientele.

Looking Ahead

Now, with more than 60 staff and partners across the Greater Toronto Area, we continue to grow our general accounting base, as well as our specialized practices in areas such as condominiums, international tax and non-profit accounting. The welcoming of a dynamic new group of partners is only helping to enhance that growth.

Your career at A+M

Skilled, dedicated professionals and an amazing workplace culture are the driving force behind A+M. We’ve built a firm where personal growth, career development and exceptional performance are the markers of achievement.

What clients are saying about A+M

Adams + Miles helped us prepare our company for sale by structuring it in the proper way to minimize tax liabilities. It was important that we worked with them at the beginning of the process, not while the sale was happening. We tried to be proactive, and they were instrumental that way. I couldn’t have done it without them.

The partners are always available, responsive and take the time for regular check-ins. They talk to us before our annual audit to see if there is anything new happening at our organization or changes they should know about. When we amalgamated with a partner organization in 2021, we could not have done it without them.

After our recent AGM I wanted to say that Adams + Miles’ presentation was by far the best financial presentation that I’ve seen. I’ve been in the industry for over 10 years, and also a board member at my condo, so therefore I’ve seen many presentations. Yours this year was excellent, detailed, easy to follow and easy to understand.
