This merger will give TZR proven capacity to offer public company auditing services
Richmond Hill, ON—December 16, 2024—Truster Zweig Raithatha LLP (TZR), a leading provider of forward-thinking tax, accounting and advisory services, is delighted to announce its upcoming merger with Stern & Lovrics LLP, a Toronto-based full-service chartered public accounting firm.
This merger, which will be effective June 1, 2025, will mark a significant milestone, positioning TZR to expand its offerings to include public company auditing services. Beyond enabling public entities to meet their regulatory mandates, this service helps to enhance shareholder confidence in corporate financial statements. It also complements the public company tax solutions already available through TZR Tax™, which focuses on designing tax strategies for both public and private clients across Canada, as well as for those with a US or global presence.
Samuel Stern and George Lovrics will both join TZR as partners, bringing with them a team of highly talented CPAs. Thanks to the combined experience of both teams, TZR has further reinforced its commitment to stay ahead of client needs while delivering exceptional value.
“This merger will do more than bring in a team we greatly respect,” said Vishal Raithatha, partner at TZR. “It is also a pledge to our clients that we are prepared to grow with them. By adding public company audits to our suite of services, we are giving our public company clients access to the comprehensive support they need at every stage of their journey.”
In a fast-evolving industry, businesses are increasingly challenged to find service providers who can meet their multifaceted needs. This merger will position TZR as a one-stop shop for an extended suite of solutions that includes specialized tax planning, cross-border and international mergers and acquisitions, accounting, business advisory and estate planning.
“TZR has distinguished itself as a progressive and client-centric firm,” noted George Lovrics, a founding partner at Stern & Lovrics. “Joining forces allows us to combine our expertise to build something even greater, delivering expanded offerings and unmatched service to both our firms’ valued clients.”
With a shared passion for excellence and a commitment to innovation, both teams are excited to continue building lasting relationships designed to meet their clients’ financial needs—both today and into the future.
