BDO Dunwoody is one of Canada’s largest accounting services firms with roots that extend back over eight decades. It all started in the early 1920s when Colonel James M. Dunwoody opened his first office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1965, after decades of steady expansion in Western Canada, Dunwoody became truly national when it opened offices in Northern Ontario. Meanwhile, around the same time, Ward Mallette, a dynamic Quebec firm based in Montreal, was on its own path of growth.

By the 1990s, the two firms came together to create Canada’s sixth largest accounting services firm. The union also consolidated the firm’s affiliation with BDO International, a global network of national accounting firms.

As of 2007, BDO had 95 offices across Canada, with 1,200 professionals and over 300 partners. BDO’s services run from assurance, accounting and taxation services to financial advisory and corporate recovery.
