Early history[]

The roots of MNP LLP date back to 1945, when Winnipeg-based Laird, Sprague & Co opened an office in Brandon, Manitoba. The Brandon office became independent in 1957 when the balance of Laird, Sprague joined Montreal's McDonald Currie & Co. (McDonald, Currie also merged into Coopers & Lybrand in 1957, eventually becoming what is now known as PwC[4]). Ron Meyers acquired full ownership of the Brandon office in 1958, and renamed the firm Meyers Dickens Norris Penny & Co. (MDNP) in 1969.[5]
Mergers and acquisitions[]
In 2010, Meyers Norris Penny took over PwC's personal insolvency practice for all locations west of Atlantic Canada.[6]
In 2011, Meyers Norris Penny merged with WSBG LLP, a Montréal-based accounting and business consulting firm, establishing a presence in Quebec and entered the technology consulting business with the merger of Greenridge Business Systems Corporation, a Winnipeg-based technology firm with offices in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta.

MNP Ltd.[]
In 1996, after merging with Brandon, Manitoba-based BDO and Edmonton-based Miller, McClelland Limited, Meyers Norris Penny & Co. decided to create a subsidiary to incorporate their insolvency practice. On June 6, 2011, that subsidiary officially became MNP Ltd.

MNP Ltd.’s Licensed Insolvency Trustees are licensed with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada, a division of the Canadian Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and participate in various committees, marking centres and education components with the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (). Trustees have also sat on exam panels and had active roles as presidents and chairs of various provincial bodies and the national body of CAIRP.[26]
