MNP and 4Plan Consulting Join Forces to Benefit Marketplace with Enhanced Services
CALGARY, Oct. 1, 2018 /CNW/ - MNP, Canada's fifth largest national accounting and business consulting firm, announced today that 4Plan Consulting, an Ottawa-based consulting firm founded by Adam Ali, will merge with MNP, effective October 1, 2018. Adam will join MNP as a partner in its Consulting practice.
While 4Plan Consulting was looking to increase its capacity and the experiences and capabilities it offers its clients, MNP was looking to build upon its consulting capabilities in Eastern Canada. The addition of 4Plan Consulting will enhance the services MNP offers to clients across the area, building on the firm's existing presence in the region. 4Plan Consulting will move to MNP's Kanata offices, at March Road.
Founded in 1958, MNP has grown to more than 70 locations across Canada and delivers diverse services and specialized expertise in every sector and area of business. Not only is MNP the largest of the mid-market focused firms in Canada, it has continued to maintain its Canadian roots, helping Canadian businesses at home and abroad.
4Plan Consulting has provided Management Consulting, Professional Services, and Software Solution Services to the public sector since 1995 and is recognized as one of the leading service providers in the areas of Financial Management Systems Integration, Activity Based Costing and Business Process Reengineering.
4Plan Consulting includes a group of highly qualified professionals that combine their collective knowledge with hands-on experience in all levels of government. With extensive experience and knowledge of key government process - such as project management, financial systems, financial planning and reporting, TB submission development, performance measurement, staffing, training, procurement, and governance – 4Plan Consulting has provided customized services delivered by specialist resources in a timely and cost-effective manner.
With specific experience in the field, 4Plan Consulting has developed proprietary methodologies and approaches with the flexibility to customize and respond to the unique and specific needs of our current and future public sector clients.
"As our clients continue to mature their management systems while further embracing innovation, the support they require is also evolving," explained Adam Ali, Founder, 4Plan Consulting. "We are continually looking at new ways to help our clients achieve their goals. By joining MNP we can provide our clients with a broader range and depth of expertise and experience - all of which will provide our clients with even greater value and results in the future. It will also provide us with a more robust corporate infrastructure to allow me to focus on giving clients the very best project delivery. It's a great example of how two firms can come together to give our clients the edge they need to stay competitive and capitalize on current business and industry opportunities."
Ali added that one of the deciding factors in 4Plan joining MNP was the culture. "Although MNP is a large national firm, it's always been known for being local in focus with a small-firm culture and commitment to supporting the local communities that its teams live and work in. I knew joining MNP would be a good fit for our clients, for me and for my team. I'm really excited about the future."
Sean Murphy, MNP's Consulting Regional Managing Partner for Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, MNP, said bringing Adam and 4Plan Consulting into the MNP fold was a good fit, both from a regional standpoint and in terms of MNP's strategic plans for expansion across Eastern Canada. "As we continue to grow our firm to serve the needs of our clients in the Federal Government, we are excited to welcome a well-established consulting firm that shares our values and client-centric approach," said Murphy.
"I've known Adam for a long time, and we're all excited by the ideas, energy and quality that he will add to our consulting team. We are excited to build on the strong presence our consulting team already has servicing diverse clients across Eastern Canada and are looking forward to helping more businesses to reach their full potential."
MNP delivers a diverse range of consulting services, including technology solution, strategy and planning, performance improvement, organization and people, training, economics and research, and much more. MNP credits its strategic mergers and acquisitions, organic growth, value-added services and values-led culture with catapulting the firm to the highest year-over-year growth rates of any of Canada's top accounting firms.
"To maintain our culture, we have been very strategic about who we invite to join our family," said Murphy. "Both MNP's and 4Plan Consulting's cultures and values are well-aligned and we share the same entrepreneurial approach to doing business. It's truly a win-win for both our firms. We are thrilled to have found the perfect firm to join forces with - one that puts clients first."
