Calgary’s Farm Business Consultants recently announced the penning of a “bold new chapter” as the seasoned provider of tax services unveiled a partnership with Harvest Financial.
Since 1952, FBC has helped Canadian farmers and other entrepreneurs file taxes, today serving more than 20,000 clients annually.
Harvest, on the other hand, has been providing financial services for over 25 years, including retirement and estate planning solutions designed to build and protect financial legacies.
Integration of the two companies bolsters FBC’s capacity to serve customers with “complete financial support” across every stage of life and business, according to a statement from the firms.
“We’ve always been there for our Members during tax season,” commented FBC chief executive officer Yves Millette. “Now, we’ll be there for the full journey.”
FBC—now known as “a Harvest company”—has gained access to a national financial and business services network, digital infrastructure, and a full suite of planning tools, noted Millette.
“This partnership with Harvest strengthens everything we do and allows us to bring our Members the complete financial support they deserve in life and business,” the CEO stated, “without losing the local trust we’ve built over the last 70 years.”
The combination of FBC and Harvest’s digital-forward toolkit represents a “unification and revitalization of rural tax and advisory services,” according to the companies, empowering business owners and farmers to control their financial trajectory via access to year-round support, personalized guidance, and specialized tools.
For example, FBC advisors now have access to Harvest’s fintech platform as well as a national network of licensed specialists.
Harvest is “committed to growing tomorrows [sic] for rural Canadians,” stated Leif Olson, who serves Harvest as Vice President of Corporate Development & Wealth Services.
“By integrating with FBC, we are taking a major step forward in delivering seamless, proactive, and comprehensive financial and business solutions in typically underserved communities,” Olson continued.
“This is not just a business change; it’s a revitalization of our purpose and a significant upgrade in how FBC serves its Members,” he said.
