National Professional Services Firm, MNP, Expands Presence In Rivière-Du-Loup

April 22, 2025, CALGARY, AB – MNP, one of Canada’s largest national professional services firms, is pleased to announce that it will join forces with the chartered professional accounting firm, Groupe La Somme inc., effective June 1, 2025. 

Based in Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, Groupe La Somme Inc. is led by two partners: Alexandra Morin and Keven Levesque. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of assurance, tax and advisory services to private enterprise companies in Rivière-du-Loup and across the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.

MNP has been steadily expanding its footprint throughout Quebec since entering the market in 2011 with its first office in Montreal. Today, MNP has 35 offices, 212 partners and over 1,600 team members across the province. Regional Managing Partner for the Saguenay region, Jean-François Leblanc, FCPA, said this merger reflect MNP’s continued commitment to the growth of MNP in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Groupe La Somme inc. team to our Firm. We have been looking for a firm that was a good fit with our existing team in Rivière-du-Loup, as we continue to meet growing demand for our services here. We will be able to bring an additional breadth of specialty tax, consulting and advisory services to Groupe La Somme inc. clients to support them in seizing the opportunities and addressing the challenges of today’s market.”

Groupe La Somme inc. Partner, Alexandra Morin, CPA, M. Fisc., says the merger strengthens her team's ability to support their clients:

"MNP complements and enhances our current service offerings and brings greater support that will help us service our clients as they grow and their needs change. This merger also provides new opportunities for our people to learn and develop their careers by working with MNP’s diverse teams and client base."

Founded in 1958, MNP has grown to more than 150 locations across Canada and delivers a wide range of services and specialized expertise in every sector and area of business. 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.

"We have grown quickly but we are absolutely committed to maintaining our culture and so have always been very strategic about who we invite to join our team," added Jeremy Cole, FCPA, FCA, CBV, MNP's Executive Vice President for the GTA and Quebec. "We are known across the communities we work with as being one of Canada's most-trusted professional services firms, so we are excited to welcome a very well-respected practice in Groupe La Somme inc. into the MNP team. Our cultures and values are well-aligned, and we share the same entrepreneurial, trusted approach to doing business."

Groupe La Somme inc. Partner, Keven Levesque, CPA Auditor, says one of their deciding factors to join MNP was the culture.

“Although MNP is a large national firm, it’s best known across Canada for being local in focus and having a small-firm culture and commitment to supporting the communities that its teams live and work in. When you’re making a move as significant as this, the ‘fit’ has to be right for everyone — your people, clients and community. We couldn’t be more excited about joining forces with MNP.” 

The Groupe La Somme inc. team will remain in their current location for now, which will become a second location in Rivière-du-Loup for MNP. However, both teams will move into a new location later this year. The team will work with MNP’s existing teams across Québec to enjoy access to greater resources and services to help businesses in their community.
