Why join Collins Barrow

Collins Barrow is embarking on a growth strategy to increase its national footprint.

“Last year, the network posted an impressive 11% increase in revenues. To build on this momentum, we want to align with firms that are as ambitious in their approach to growth as we are,” Harry Blum, National Chair of Firm Recruitment. “We are interested in firms with entrepreneurial cultures and mindsets that stand to gain from Collins Barrow’s national presence and turnkey approach.”

Member firms have access to a vast array of expertise and industry knowledge. Leveraging these national resources, they continuously build new business streams and hone expertise to deliver a one stop solution for the mid-market.

They also benefit from:

• Enhanced marketplace recognition supported by an 80 year track record and an exciting brand that represents quality and integrity
• Improved ability to attract and retain top talent by providing greater opportunities
• Proven governance infrastructure
• Capacity to offer clients a broader range of specialty services

Importantly, Collins Barrow members are not hindered by bureaucracy. Each retains its legal independence and autonomy, while adhering to standard policies.

“Being independently owned, each of us is able to respond nimbly to the needs of our market,” says Daniel Longlade, Chair of Collins Barrow National. “As entrepreneurs, we value our decision making above all else. By promoting swift action, Collins Barrow has established a framework that enables firms like my own to excel.”

“As part of our growth strategy, Collins Barrow is meeting with regional firms ready to surpass business as usual,” says Stephen Chris, National Director of Operations. “If your firm is one of them, we should talk.”

The firm recruitment campaign focuses on full-service audit and tax firms. Specifically, the search is on for firms with:

• Top 30 status
   • Major market firms in the top 10
   • Minor market firms in the top 5
• Revenues over $5-million
• Charted plans for growth
• Service differentiators and unique expertise
