History

Early history

Sunset reflected on MNP Tower in Vancouver

The roots of MNP LLP date back to 1945, when Winnipeg-based Laird, Sprague & Co opened an office in Brandon, Manitoba. The Brandon office became independent in 1957 when the balance of Laird, Sprague joined Montreal's McDonald Currie & Co. (later merging with what is now known as PwC). Ron Meyers acquired full ownership of the Brandon office in 1958, and renamed the firm Meyers Dickens Norris Penny & Co. (MDNP) in 1969.[4]

Mergers and acquisitions

In 2010, Meyers Norris Penny took over PwC's personal insolvency practice for all locations west of Atlantic Canada.[5]

In 2011, Meyers Norris Penny merged with WSBG LLP, a Montréal-based accounting and business consulting firm, establishing a presence in Quebec and entered the technology consulting business with the merger of Greenridge Business Systems Corporation, a Winnipeg-based technology firm with offices in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta.

In 2012, Toronto-based public sector consulting firm PSTG was acquired,[6] followed by a merger with Tyce Carle-Thiesson (TCT), a Nanaimo-based chartered accounting firm.[7]

In 2013, the Wade Group, a Burlington-based professional services firm[8] was acquired as well as Buset Sarvas Mozzon, a Thunder Bay-based accounting firm,[9] MSCM, a Toronto-based accounting, tax and advisory firm,[10] Laing & Rohr, an Oshawa-based accounting and business consulting firm[11] and Laberge Venne & Partners (LVP), a Sudbury-based accounting firm.[12]

Structure and subsidiaries

MNP Ltd.

MNP Ltd. is one of Canada’s largest consumer insolvency firms, established in 1996. As of 2016, the firm had over 65 Licensed Insolvency Trustees and more than 200 resident and satellite offices located in key urban and rural centres across Canada.

In 1996, after merging with Brandon, Manitoba-based BDO and Edmonton-based Miller, McClelland Limited, Meyers Norris Penny & Co. decided to create a subsidiary to incorporate their insolvency practice. On June 6, 2011, that subsidiary officially became MNP Ltd.

As a subsidiary of MNP LLP, MNP Ltd. offers consumer insolvency services including consumer proposals, personal bankruptcy and credit counselling as well as a range of bankruptcy alternatives like debt consolidation, orderly payment of debts, informal debt settlement, payday loans and credit extensions.[29]
