Wealth-building advice you can trust

Family businesses are the driving force behind Canada’s economy. They’re also unique among corporate entities, requiring decision-making that drives the growth of the organization, but also carefully balances the business and family relationships that set the stage for long-term success. Private family businesses need strategic accounting advice that addresses the full scope of their financial needs.

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.
