Connecting You to Success

Starting and growing a business is a process of constant re-evaluation. It’s about coming up with an idea and then dreaming about how it may one day evolve. It’s about delivering products and services in ever-more effective ways—that could mean producing a better mousetrap, disrupting an industry with a transformative invention or taking a completely novel approach to an age-old problem. And for leading entrepreneurs, it’s about something even more fundamental—solving customers’ challenges and leaving the world in better shape than they found it.

As Chartered Professional Accountants for entrepreneurs, we understand that organizations and their leaders thrive when they’re connected to reliable advisors who not only provide quantitative insights, but are perceptive enough to bring relevant strategic advice to the table before it’s even necessary. Perhaps most importantly, they want a service provider willing to listen and respond with the right solutions to their most pressing business challenges.

As we near 50 years in business, our core values remain as strong as ever. We believe that results are in the details. We treat our clients’ companies as if they were our own and provide transformative advice accordingly. We believe in dynamic adaptation—that as our clients’ companies grow and evolve, so will our firm.

That could mean helping them restructure their corporation to maximize or find new tax efficiencies; highlighting a potential acquisition target and then managing the purchase; or ensuring full legislative or tax compliance locally or during an overseas expansion. Whatever the case, we help them navigate the risks that lie ahead, while highlighting game-changing opportunities.

We’re committed to empowering organizations, minimizing complexity and highlighting the full, often untapped, potential of their business.

When Harvey Kestenberg and Ralph Rabinowicz founded KRP in 1973, they had a very clear vision for the kind of firm they wanted to build, as well as the calibre of professionals they endeavored to recruit. Passion, a commitment to service excellence and a deep understanding of the many challenges facing our clients were all must-have prerequisites.

Those values and capabilities remain key characteristics of our team to this day. With more than 30 accountants, tax specialists, strategic advisors and support staff with experience across a broad range of industries, we have the expertise to help overcome the many strategic financial challenges you might face—not to mention helping you embrace the vast array of opportunities at your doorstep.

Robert McMillanDealer Principal of Volvo of Mississauga McMillan & Saunders Inc.

For the more than 40 years I’ve been in business, I have relied on KRP for astute financial guidance. At the beginning, our relationship was strictly accounting, but it quickly grew to encompass a number of issues critical to success – controlling expenses, tax planning and managing expansion. Whatever the situation, we know we can count on the KRP Team for the right advice and the right business strategy.

Christine MarzilliVice President, Decor-Rest Furniture Ltd.

We receive excellent advice and attention from their Partners, who look at us as people as well as a business. They provide top-notch service and valuable input. We trust them 100% and appreciate their professionalism and integrity.

Philip Ling, P.Eng.VP Technology, Partner, Powersmiths International Corp.

I attribute our exceptional success to great products, astute management and topnotch accounting and payroll services provided by KRP. We’ve maintained a longstanding relationship with the firm and the way they’ve helped streamline our business, it’s almost like they’re a division of the company. Should a problem arise, they respond immediately. If specialized expertise is required, they know exactly whom to recommend. I’ve recommended them without reservation to several associates. For me, that’s the ultimate vote of confidence.

Mike MaskeryOperations Manager, Rubie’s Costume Company (Canada)

As one of our member services, we refer accounting and auditing firms to car dealerships when needed. We have often recommended Kestenberg • Rabinowicz • Partners LLP because they are professional, prompt and extremely helpful, and are always available and willing to provide educational seminars when required. KRP also provide us with current updates and timely educational materials on tax and accounting changes that we need to understand. When I require any information along those lines, I know I can count on KRP.

Ms. Belen T. Croutch Director of Finance, Ontario/Toronto Automobile Dealers Associations

A few years ago, we were concerned about how we were structured, having been in business and thriving since 1977. We needed knowledgeable financial services advice and after some due diligence learned about Kestenberg • Rabinowicz • Partners LLP. After an initial meeting, I knew from the get-go that I’d found the right firm. A KRP Partner-led team quickly assessed my business needs, offering sound advice based on their wide-ranging backgrounds working with a diverse clientele. They bring a wealth of knowledge to the table, and provide prompt, hands-on service from the top down. Their staff may even know our business better than me!

Suresh TharmaDirector of Finance, Aptus Treatment Centre

We have retained Kestenberg • Rabinowicz • Partners LLP (KRP) since our incorporation in 1991. As an actuarial consulting firm, our businesses are similar, so we know the team there understands our needs. For example, when we require consulting-related software, they objectively recommend products, which saves us time. KRP is a firm we trust. We enjoy the personal attention we receive and know they have our best interests at heart.

Vincenta ChengChief Financial Officer, J. S. Cheng & Partners Inc.

I have worked with KRP on a variety of local and international tax issues over the past 10 years. They are trusted advisors who consistently find solutions which are appropriate to the circumstances and reflect a strong ethical approach. The high-level of professionalism and integrity of the firm is a consistent characteristic which inspires client confidence.

Allan CosmanPresident & CEO Ferrero Canada

We’ve been working with Ralph and the team at KRP for more than 35 years, and they’ve consistently managed to exceed our service expectations. Ralph has helped us grow, he knows our history, and has always provided us with the very best tax and accounting information possible. That’s especially important in our industry, where our needs go above and beyond basic accounting. His team has the experience to handle virtually any challenge, and when they don’t, they can bring in people that do. I can honestly say that KRP has been a perfect match for our company.

Lucio AngelucciPresident, Canada Clean Fuels

KRP has been great to work with, offering us a range of specialized services such as estate planning, corporate tax strategies and US immigration planning. KRP has successfully guided our corporate expansion into the US, working with both Canadian and U.S. tax lawyers and accountants, and has been extremely successful in working on our behalf to navigate a difficult tax situation with Canadian tax authorities. Armando Iannuzzi is a very gifted and knowledgeable accountant who is down to earth and puts tremendous effort into helping us achieve our business goals.
