Toronto, ON – Two renowned Toronto accounting and advisory firms are coming together to create one of the largest independently owned and operated firms in the Greater Toronto Area, as of July 1, 2022. Combining deep industry expertise and enduring entrepreneurialism, Segal LLP and GCSE LLP have joined forces to lead the mid-market in audit, accounting, tax and advisory, taking on the name Segal GCSE LLP.
Increasing value and opportunity for clients and talent alike, the new organization is invested in bold action today to create a strong platform for tomorrow. Segal GCSE plans to expand its specialty services and continue to develop niche practices, which include serving financial, legal, real estate and information technology industries. Coupled with its commitment to nurturing the next generation of progressive leaders, the newly combined firm is well positioned to empower clients and talent for the future.
United in shared values, complementary operations and a people-first culture, Segal GCSE will have a notably expanded regional and national presence, with more than 250 team members ready to serve current and future clients across a wider range of services (including non-audit-related offerings), industries and geography.
Since 1976, Segal has provided clients with a dynamic service experience that enables greater opportunities for growth and prosperity. The firm’s advisors strive to not just meet clients’ evolving needs, but to drive sustainable value. Similarly, with about 30 years of accounting, tax and advisory experience, GCSE employs a strategic and personal approach to help clients attain their business goals – and has long been the go-to Canadian firm for the legal industry.
“Our merged firm is the perfect combination of talent, expertise, industry capability, core services and specialty offerings, which we are committed to developing further in the months and years ahead,” says Dan Natale, Segal Managing Partner. “We will also continue to focus on internal growth, creating opportunities for our vibrant young leaders to excel. By investing in a shared vision, together we are better positioned to build a foundation for success that looks beyond today and entrenches our legacy of independence in the mid-market. We are primed for growth in this ever-changing business climate.”
“With a shared philosophy on how we serve clients and invest in our talent, this union of independent firms is a seamless fit – culturally and strategically,” says GCSE Managing Partner Laurie Starkman. “Ultimately, we are combining the best of both our firms – our great teams, agile cultures and modern approaches – while leveraging our combined strength to drive forward new opportunities. Whether assisting the legal, real estate or financial sectors, we have the knowledge and experience to serve every major industry and will operate utilizing a best-in-class, consensus-driven approach.”
Dan Natale will serve as Managing Partner of the new organization. Further, Segal GCSE LLP will maintain its two current locations in Toronto, with plans to move into a shared office later in 2022.

On April 7, 2022, the Canadian government released the federal budget for 2022.
This budget was widely anticipated to have increased tax rates and additional new taxes as well as rules that would stop some tax planning that had been going on.
The good news is that there were no changes to income tax rates. More specifically, there was no change to capital gains rates. A lot of planning had been going on before the budget in anticipation of an increased capital gains tax rate. Fortunately, that did not happen.
There was a change to the taxation of the sale of principal residences. If a taxpayer buys and sells a property within 12 months, the capital gain would not be sheltered by the principal residence exemption subject to some allowances that allow for unexpected personal situations. The sale of the property, will be treated as business income and will be fully taxable (not at the 50% inclusion rate).
The most substantial change is the new rules on how non-CCPC’s will be taxed.
Please download our budget commentary and a more detailed listing of the budget highlights.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Segal tax advisor.
Best regards,
Segal GCSE Tax Team
