About

CBM Chartered Professional Accountants LLP (“CBM”) was founded in 1976 and was led by three daring and ambitious children of immigrant parents: Anthony Cipolla, Peter Bartens, Joseph Monachino (“the founders”). Together they built the foundations of a firm headquartered at 152 Jackson Street East in Hamilton, Ontario that offered a combination of assurance, taxation and advisory services for clients in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The firm successfully grew over the years with the motto of, “It’s Business, and it’s Personal!” offering a personal and practical touch.

In the 2010’s, these founders unselfishly welcomed three young and ambitious heirs apparent to their legacy as new partners: Alexander Olivieri, Chrisopher Pitton, Michael Stodolak. These individuals all started their careers at CBM and were able to hone their craft and learn enough to stand alongside the founders. After successfully transitioning client relationships and seeing the growth of the firm over the years, the founders happily retired in the early 2020’s. 

On January 1, 2024, CBM merged with another local Hamilton based firm, Guyatt&Moffatt Chartered Professional Accountants LLP (“G&M”). G&M was led by Michael Guyatt, Doug Guyatt and Brad Moffatt who were looking to ensure their clients and staff would be taken care of prior to retiring. Undaunted, CBM assumed the responsibility and their legacy is preserved under the continuing name of CBM. Now with over 40 staff and two locations, CBM looks to continue its personal and practical touch with clients while helping them navigate the ever changing and challenging world of accounting, taxation and advisory.
