Donnelly & Co. LLP is a firm serving a mix of specialized audit engagements and providing public accounting services to the local business community of Edmonton and Alberta. Established in 1959 by our founding partner, Mr. L.J. Donnelly, our firm has been providing practical professional services of auditing and accounting to organizations in both public and private sectors. The firm has continued to grow with its increased service capabilities and specializations created by the succession to the current three partners.
We are a local firm with our main office located in northwest Edmonton. A part time office is also maintained in the Town of Boyle due to the significant number of corporate clients we have in the area. Our firm consists of seven Chartered Accountants, CA articling students, CGA students, technicians and support staff.
Our firm’s size provides our clients the advantage of receiving quality, personalized services on a cost effective basis. We are organized such that one partner directs the delivery of a clients’ professional service. Expertise is then drawn from the other professional staff as required to meet specific client needs. As the partners are directly involved with the regular on-going interaction with the organization’s officers and staff, accounting matters are resolved more efficiently.
