  We have “new” spacious offices in our west end Edmonton location. Private offices, staff work stations, and our infrastructure, are available for rent. This might be someone looking for a succession planning opportunity. In this case, this individual might like to practice a few more years and then allow their practice to be acquired by an existing firm. Since this practitioner’s clients would already be familiar with our Firm there should be good opportunity for client retention.

  Alternatively, it might be someone just starting out in their public practice career. This person will need the support of an existing infrastructure. Also, we will likely be able to allocate to this individual, client service responsibility for some of our existing clients. We would hope that over time, our working relationship will develop whereby the individual or individuals might consider transferring their practice into ours as an equity contribution towards an eventual partnership.

  If you are interested in pursuing either of these opportunities, please contact Michael Epp, CA, CMA of Hawkings Epp Dumont LLP at mepp@hed-edm.com.
