Davidson & Company Turns 40!

We’ve spent 40 amazing years building a legacy, and we celebrated in true '80s style at our 40th Anniversary Celebration! We threw it back to the decade of neon, big hair, and unforgettable tunes, honoring four decades of dedication and success at Davidson & Company.

How did it all start?

Founded in 1984, Davidson & Company LLP is proud to be one of the most well-known accounting firms in Western Canada. What started as a partnership of two guys named Bill (Bill Davidson and Bill McCartney) grew to a partnership of four (Len Peterson and Peter Wolf) in 1987.

It wasn’t long before a young man named Grant Block joined as a manager in 1989 as a referral from Len, they both worked together at Ellis Foster. Then in the early 90’s, Bill McCartney, Len, and Peter moved on, and it was back to a team of two with Grant making Partner. Since then, the Firm has multiplied over the years.

Where are we now?

Today we have over 160 employees and 23 Partners. We are proud to have a foundation of over 40 years of providing excellent services to our diverse clients.

Just as the firm has grown, so have our service offerings. We specialize in public and private company audits, private company engagements, and Canadian and US tax compliance and planning. Our Valuations and Advisory Services department was the most recent service offering added to the roster back in 2015.
