Fazzari + Partners

What Fazzari + Partners does

Fazzari + Partners LLP is a Chartered Professional Accountants firm founded in 1988 by Frank Fazzari and headquartered at 3300 Highway 7, Suite 901 in Vaughan, Ontario. The firm operates as an Ontario Limited Liability Partnership with a team of approximately 17-25 professionals holding over 175 combined years of experience and multiple specialized designations (FCPA, FCA, CFE, CBV, TEP). It delivers integrated professional services spanning Taxation, Audit and Assurance, Business Advisory, Forensic Accounting, Valuations (via wholly-owned subsidiary Fazzari Valuations Inc.), M&A advisory, and Accounting Firm Assistance. The firm also operates a Quality Control Initiative that provides services to small and mid-sized CPA firms, effectively acting as a quality control outsource.

The firm's client base of 200+ active organizations spans at least 10 industries including construction, not-for-profit, professional services, real estate, manufacturing and distribution, healthcare, insurance, and private equity. Geographic reach is delivered through direct engagement in the Greater Toronto Area, supplemented by MGI Worldwide network membership providing access to 5,000+ professionals in 260+ locations across 89 countries for cross-border mandates. Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis through tailored engagements, with no publicly disclosed standard pricing.

The go-to-market motion is relationship-led, relying on the firm's 34+ industry awards, community involvement (Vaughan Chamber of Commerce, BILD, Humber River Hospital), and content marketing (tax publications, seminars, newsletters) to drive referrals and trust-based client acquisition. The firm has recently hired Director of Advisory Services Fred Santini (from Crombie REIT, Ivanhoe Cambridge, and Blake Cassels & Graydon) signaling a deliberate push into higher-margin corporate advisory work.
