London, ON – Baker Tilly Leamington (formerly Collins Barrow Leamington LLP) and EPR Trillium Chartered Professional Accountants are pleased to announce their merger as of Feb. 1, 2019. Uniting under the new name Baker Tilly Trillium LLP, the newly consolidated firm will be a dominant force in southwestern Ontario. Eleven partners will provide audit, tax and advisory services out of five offices in London, Dorchester, Aylmer, Leamington and Essex.
