Since 1976, WBLI Chartered Accountants has helped hundreds of clients and their businesses succeed in Atlantic Canada. By helping them grow, we've grown too. Today we are the region's largest independent firm of chartered accountants.

We offer a full range of financial and business advice, from general accounting and assurance services to specialized advice on the most complex tax matters. Our clients range from large corporations to sole proprietorships; our broad experience includes work with manufacturers, developers, contractors, retailers, wholesalers, health and service industries, and not for profit organizations.

We're proud of our strong team approach to solving client problems. We're also proud of our reputation for timely, quality service. We put our clients' needs first. When they need one-on-one advice from a partner, they get it. We're accessible. We're flexible.

As a firm homegrown in Atlantic Canada, we are deeply involved in the community through service groups and other volunteer efforts. We understand the region, its business climate, and its people. We know, for example, that business owners here expect competence and value for their dollar. That's what we give them.

Like many of our clients, our business vision extends far beyond Atlantic Canada. As part of DFK International - A worldwide association of independent accountant firms and business advisers with representatives in over 70 countries, we are committed to meeting the needs of businesses with interests in more than one country.

We provide timely, quality service at reasonable rates from a strong team of professionals. Over time, this combination has helped us build solid working relationships with our clients. It also explains why they so often regard WBLI Chartered Accountants as a member of their business team.

A Changing Profession

Public accountancy is a young profession in Canada, where the first societies of professional accountants were formed little more than 120 years ago. Since then, technological change, globalization and the growing complexity of government tax laws have combined to put new demands on the profession. The same changes have made sound financial advice all the more critical for business to succeed.

Today's business owners want more from their accountant than the narrow bookkeeping function of a century ago. They want well-rounded, competent advisors who can draw from a range of experience to tackle a variety of financial problems. They want a professional services firm that operates like their business does, one that responds quickly to change and delivers its service at competitive rates.

WBLI Chartered Accountants has proven itself to be just such a firm - a heads-up, one-stop center for a range of business and financial advice. To keep our edge, we continue to invest and re-invest in professional development and technological improvements. Doing so, we ensure that our clients receive quality advice and that we deliver it at reasonable rates.

We've embraced emerging computer technology and harnessed the latest developments for the benefit of our clients. Moreover, through our marriage of accounting and technical expertise, we help clients deal with their own technological needs.

Globalization ranks as another trend that greatly affects today's business leaders.
