MNP’s Kerry Smith, National Leader, Family Office, was featured in The Globe and Mail’s Globe Advisor newsletter, discussing a critical challenge: the great wealth transfer.

According to MNP’s Succession Readiness Report, nearly two-thirds of retiring Canadian business owners have considered exiting — but haven’t mapped out the details. In this article, Kerry emphasizes that the best place to begin is by having an initial conversation with a qualified professional to express your wishes, concerns, and goals. This helps create a roadmap and action plan to address the various aspects of succession planning, including financial planning, governance, and tax considerations.

Meet Jacia (she/her), Administrative Assistant, British Columbia. At MNP, we are dedicated to fostering a culture where unique strengths and diverse contributions are welcomed. Jacia feels lucky to experience this firsthand, reflecting: “At MNP, I’ve discovered that true success isn’t about fitting in – it's about being valued for who you are. I've found a place where my unique strengths are valued, my contribution matters, and my community understands me. As a high-masking adult on the autism spectrum, I once worried that my differences would hold me back. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but here, I've learned that authenticity and belonging can thrive together. Here, I am not just working – I’m growing, connecting, and thriving. To every adult on the autism spectrum who feels unseen, unheard, or forgotten – you are not alone. Your experiences, your strengths, and your unique perspectives matter more than you know. The world may not always understand you or your journey, but that doesn’t mean you don’t belong. There are places where you will be valued, people who will appreciate you for who you truly are, and moments of connection and purpose waiting for you. MNP is where I found that. Keep going. Keep being you. You are worthy of joy, success, and a life that feels right to you with people who understand. Keep looking and you will find it.” Find your #LifeAtMNP by visiting https://shr.link/qylkm.
