What Kraft Berger LLP does

Kraft Berger LLP is a Canadian Limited Liability Partnership accounting firm headquartered at 3160 Steeles Avenue East in Markham, Ontario, operating since 1942 with a staff of 101-250 professionals. The firm delivers a comprehensive suite of professional services organized around six core lines: Accounting (financial statement preparation under ASPE and IFRS standards), Audit and Assurance, Tax Services (corporate, personal, commodity, estates and trusts, and cross-border), Business Advisory (including M&A, succession planning, transaction advisory, and public company consulting), Business Valuation with litigation support, and Elevate Bookkeeping & Payroll cloud-based services. Its technology stack relies on third-party platforms — QuickBooks Online for client bookkeeping, ShareFile for secure document exchange, Bambora for client payments, and Microsoft Office Lens for document scanning — without disclosed proprietary AI, automation, or platform engineering capability.

The firm serves clients across twelve specialized industry verticals including Construction, Healthcare Professionals, High Tech, Manufacturing, Mining (including publicly traded resource companies), Real Estate, Sports and Entertainment, and Not-for-Profit Organizations, applying vertical-specific expertise to tax, audit, and advisory engagements. International service delivery is enabled through membership in the Allinial Global association, and the firm offers a dedicated U.S.-Canadian cross-border personal tax practice for clients with bilateral filing requirements.

Commercially, Kraft Berger LLP operates on a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market model: clients engage directly with chartered accountants through scheduled consultations, with partners available via a website-based 'Book a Call' booking system. Revenue is generated through professional services fees scoped per engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing or rate card. Demand generation is supported by content marketing (an active blog, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and educational guides) and a toll-free client intake line. The firm is privately held by its partners, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent company, consistent with a partner-owned professional services structure.
