On this date Ken Finnie, CPA, CMA, and Kimberly Hunka, CPA, CGA, and their team of ten staff members will join MNP.

“MNP has a long history in British Columbia, working with businesses in the area for nearly 30 years. The region has created several of Canada’s most successful organizations and we are proud of the role we play working with many of them. Ken, Kimberly and the entire Finnie Hunka team share our passion for supporting British Columbia’s business community and will help us to reach and support more organizations with their journey. We are excited to welcome them into the MNP family.”

The entire Finnie Hunka team will continue to be based at their present location in Kamloops and will work closely with MNP’s existing teams in the Okanagan to service business across the region.

Finnie Hunka Partner, Kimberly Hunka, says that one of their deciding factors to join MNP was the firm’s 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. This is something that is very important to all the partners and team members at Finnie Hunka, so the ‘fit’ had to be right.

“MNP complements and enhances our current service offerings and brings greater bench strength that will help us to provide our clients with even greater value in the future,” added Finnie Hunka Partner, Ken Finnie.

While becoming the largest of the mid-market focused firms in Canada, MNP has continued to maintain its Canadian roots, helping Canadian businesses both at home and abroad.
