Over the course of our two-decade history as a firm, Rumley Holmes LLP has undergone several different iterations, welcomed and said goodbye to some very talented accounting professionals and had the privilege of serving incredible organizations and individuals across Barrie, Simcoe County and the Greater Toronto Area.

During that time, our partnership team has also evolved and expanded. Our firm’s founding partner Aaron Rumley was joined by David Holmes in our valuations and litigation support practice, Thomas Turnbull, Dan McMahon and Paul Pezzimenti in assurance and accounting and Drew Calanchie on the domestic tax front. They’ve worked alongside a host of outstanding managers, accountants and support team members who consistently go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional service experience.

As we celebrate our 20^th anniversary, what hasn’t changed is the commitment to our clients’ and industry partners’ success. We take pride in working to understand their businesses, their organizational goals and their tax and compliance needs. That often overlaps on the personal side, where we’re able to help them develop planning strategies to build and protect their wealth. Overall, our goal is to always stay a step ahead of innovative new practices and strategies, legislative developments and industry-specific shifts—all to bring proactive ideas to the table to help bolster their balance sheets.

That’s meant constantly evolving as a firm. With that in mind, we’re excited to announce the next step in our history as Rumley Holmes LLP rebrands as RH Partners LLP.

How our rebrand impacts you

Put simply, nothing about our firm changes other than our name, our logo and the design of our website and marketing materials. That means you’ll still be served by the same partnership group, managers and support professionals. Our firm’s service approach and promise remain unchanged.

What you can expect are more communications and more insights. Over the next month we’ll be rolling out a new content series to keep you informed and up to date on the latest news and strategic ideas that could impact you and your organization. Those insights will be delivered straight to your inbox through a new e-newsletter, while you’ll also find a more robust user interface when you visit our relaunched website. The goal is to help you find the information you need, when you need it.

Why the change?

As Aaron Rumley puts it, the rebrand to RH Partners LLP was part of a decision to acknowledge how our firm has grown, while nodding to its roots. It was also an effort to better position our in-house experience and expertise—the backbone of our firm’s performance.

“We see our new name and brand identity as a point of continuity, referencing our past, but highlighting how this firm is much more than the sum of its parts,” he explains. We have some of the very best accounting and advisory professionals under one roof in our region, and we wanted to recognize that incredible team strength as we move forward.”

RH Partners LLP is now home to more than 35 partners and employees, servicing hundreds of clients—ranging from small to mid-sized corporations to charities and non-profits—across Simcoe County and Southern Ontario. Throughout our history we’ve expanded the scope of our services by building regional and global partnerships—the latter with AGN International, a membership association of independent accounting firms.

The AGN affiliation has enabled us to not only network with accounting and advisory professionals from around the world, but to also leverage their expertise in areas ranging from domestic tax compliance in AGN members’ local markets, to cross-border business development strategy. The goal is to support Canadian firms as they expand abroad, while providing foreign organizations with the help they need to establish operations in the Canadian market.

“This 20^th anniversary is a celebration of how far we’ve come and what we still want to accomplish as a firm,” David Holmes added. “We’re looking forward to writing our next chapter as we continue to make service enhancements that meet the rapidly changing needs of our growing client base.”

The renaming of Rumley Holmes LLP takes effect immediately. In the coming weeks our new brand identity will be implemented across our office and various materials. Stay tuned for more firm-wide news as we continue to expand, add new team members and work to exceed your service expectations.
