The firm of Avery, Cooper & Co. has offered public accounting and auditing services throughout the Northwest Territories since 1969. The firm's head office is located in Yellowknife, NWT. We also provide a toll-free phone line which can be used by our clients throughout Canada to contact us with their questions and requests for assistance.

The present partners have a total of well over 100 resident years in the Northwest Territories. The firm and its people have played an active part in providing service to both our clients and to the communities in which we live. The investment of human and financial resources as a contribution to community service is an acknowledged responsibility of a committed northern business.

The needs of our clients are varied and diverse. This was recognized early in our involvement in the Northwest Territories. In order to meet our clients' needs, both present and future, we required people-oriented professionals with a sound academic background and a wide range of practical experience. To further support our clients, an experienced group of Associates provides a wide spectrum of professional expertise both nationally and internationally.

We are a member of MSI Global Alliance (MSI), a global association of local firms. MSI was formed in 1990 in response to the growing need for cross-border co-operation between professional service firms. MSI has become a leading global multi-disciplinary network of over 200 independent accounting, law, tax, offshore and specialist professional service firms in over 90 countries throughout the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. As a client of an MSI firm, you have access not only to the expertise available at Avery Cooper but also to all other MSI firms.

The combination of our People and our Associates enables our firm to meet the needs of the private and public sectors.
