“Brad and Bryan have provided us with invaluable guidance that extends beyond the scope of traditional auditing. Often, we find ourselves deeply immersed in the day-to-day management of our products, technology, and customer relations, and it's easy to overlook broader operational considerations. The team at Welch brings a wealth of experience from working with many similar companies in our sector, allowing them to offer insights into areas for improvement and potential pitfalls. Their advice has been particularly valuable to us, given that accounting is not our primary focus. Thanks to their guidance, we've been able to enhance our operational approach and financial systems significantly over the past three years of IFRS.”

Devashish Paul, CEO & Founder, BluWave-ai

“Welch LLP has been an invaluable partner in ensuring the ethical and legal integrity of our operations over the past three years. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring our compliance has provided us with peace of mind, especially this year. They have adeptly worked around our hectic schedule, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Their dedication is truly remarkable; they've managed to achieve what even the Big Four firms would find challenging. I am eternally grateful for their support and guidance. With Welch by our side, we feel confident in our ability to navigate the complexities of our industry while staying true to our values. I cannot recommend them highly enough to fellow startups seeking a reliable partner for their journey.”

Muhammad Zaheed, Vice President Finance, BluWave-ai

“Our Ottawa-based company had a “big-4” firm doing our annual audit for years, but they struggled to have continuity in their team from one year to the next. In fact, one year they even had to “import” a couple of people from the Halifax office. Wow, what a difference having switched to Welch LLP! There are always a couple of people working on the file that have been involved in previous year audit engagements. What’s great is that everybody involved is approachable and willing to share knowledge of emerging “IFRS” requirements. Welch definitely delivers “big firm” capability, all the while projecting a really nice “family firm” culture.”

“There’s a massive shortage of good accountants, so getting the proper attention and service from your accounting firm is not always easy.   Being a fast growing tech company with a lot of needs, I’m really glad we solidified the relationship with Welch and 1Valet.  1Valet is well setup for success with Welch’s support on accounting and tax matters, and will benefit from all the important business advice that comes along with proper advisors.”

Francois Forrest, VP Finance, 1Valet

“I must say I am super impressed with the Welch team. Responsiveness, knowledge and customer service is top notch and unparallell to any other North American firm I have worked with in the past. We feel very taken care of as a customer and that is much appreciated, especially as we enter a new country far away from home.”

Christoffer Haeger, Group Accounting & Reporting Specialist, Epidemic Sound

“Welch is much larger (260+ professionals) than most regional accounting firms, part of BKR International which has member firms all over the globe, and the partner (Bryan Haralovich) is one of the best technology auditors in the business. They actually teach other firms for the CICA/CPA Canada and their technology tax group is phenomenal as well. From a customer service perspective, nobody compares to Welch and they are very reasonable on fees.”
