Genesis Renews Partnership with BDO Canada LLP
 
April 19, 2022, St. John’s NL – Genesis, Newfoundland & Labrador’s innovation hub, has renewed its standing partnership with world-renowned financial services firm BDO Canada for another year after a successful collaboration throughout 2021.
 
As a Partner of Choice, BDO has helped Genesis’ clients identify knowledge gaps surrounding financial literacy and compliance, investment readiness and fundraising. BDO Canada’s educational workshops, mentorship opportunities and relationship building have offered essential industry expertise to the Genesis suite of services, providing Genesis clients with essential tools to propel their success.
 
“We are extremely proud to be partnering with Genesis for another year and investing in the continued growth of the start-up ecosystem in Newfoundland and Labrador – a province that is one of the leaders in innovation in this country,” says Adam Fitzpatrick, BDO Partner and Atlantic Canada’s Technology Industry Leader. “Under the leadership of Genesis, along with the support of BDO’s industry experts, we are confident these entrepreneurs will be able to take their businesses to the next stage of development.”
 
The early years of founding and growing a startup are often the most financially complex, and BDO’s depth of expertise aligns with Genesis’ core values of support, community and continuous improvement for its portfolio of clients.
 
“The last year with BDO as one of our Partners of Choice has been instrumental to our clients’ growth,” says Colin Corcoran, Vice President – Finance & Special Projects at Genesis. “Together, we’ve identified opportunities to help our ventures become financially educated on their entrepreneurial journeys and BDO has been there every step of the way. We’re fortunate to have them reinvest in our community for another year.”
