For the past 50 years, there has been a growing group of accountants in Burlington, Ontario, dedicated to helping others. In 1974, what began as a small group of associates known as Scott, Batenchuk & Co. has grown into SB Partners, a regional firm of 65 people, including 8 partners. In a directory, you’ll find SB Partners listed as an accounting firm. To its clients and community, they are a collective dedicated to ‘accounting for the community’ through a deep-rooted sense of social responsibility and a client-first focus.
Accounting is a people-first business.
“50 years from now, financial statements are really going to be the smallest part of our business. As the field of accounting changes and adapts, the relationships that we build with our clients will be that of trusted adviser and consultant. These relationships will be the key to future success.” Melanie McLeod – Managing Director stated of the role accountants play for their clients.
SB Partners believe that integrity, innovation, creating a positive workplace and supporting their community are the keys to success. Over the last 5 decades, they have established a reputation for their genuine commitment to client care, community involvement, and continuous learning.
From the outset, balancing work and family was important to the partners, and supporting the community where their clients worked, lived, and played was a natural extension of this philosophy. Burlington offered a diverse business community where people were starting businesses alongside mature, established ones making it a prime location to establish roots. Once that decision was made, the founders set their sights on becoming the accounting firm of choice for the city.
“We always had an entrepreneurial focus by working with clients to really help them meet their business and financial goals. Financial statements and tax returns are the tools that we use to work with clients to be able to do that.” – Glenn Taylor, retired Partner
