Connolly & McNamara Chartered Accountants welcomes new practice
March 10, 2010 - For Immediate Release
Ottawa, Ontario - Connolly & McNamara Chartered Accountants (www.connollymcnamara.ca) welcome Mr. Michael Atwood, C.A., Mrs. Kathe Atwood, and their clients to its practice. The Atwoods bring to Connolly & McNamara the expertise and dedication that were key to building a successful practice over the past 23 years. The arrangement provides a smooth transition for the Atwoods as part of their retirement planning.
One of the important services a chartered accountant can offer small business is succession planning. There are a number of important decisions to make during such a transition – none of them taken very lightly. A primary concern is how to seamlessly ensure that customers are in good hands when a small business owner is ready to retire.
Partners Gary Connolly, C.A. and Robert McNamara, C.A., were able to tap into their understanding of the issues and concerns faced by small business to offer the Atwoods a transition plan that suited their needs. "We have offered advice to many clients planning to transition their businesses, so we took a page from our own book when we were working out an arrangement with the Atwoods," said Gary Connolly.
In addition to ensuring they chose a firm that could look after their clients, the Atwoods were looking for a firm that were well equipped to adapt quickly to the rapid changes to accounting practices, regulation, and technology faced by business today. "Connolly & McNamara have a well-trained staff and use the latest technology, including a paperless office," said Atwood. In the end, it came down to "feeling comfortable," said Atwood.
Connolly & McNamara Chartered Accountants provides perspective, insight and advice to help clients make sound financial and business decisions. The forward-thinking Kanata firm combines depth of knowledge and expertise with first class client service.
