Fifty-two per cent of all Canadian business executives in a new Angus Reid business study commissioned by Richter, say it’s not worth it to pay for in-house expertise in niche areas of business anymore. In fact, they think outsourcing for specialized expertise will be a growing trend this year.

The survey, entitled, The Canadian BizHealth Report surveyed 500 senior executives across the country to get a pulse on the financial and entrepreneurial health of businesses from coast to coast.

Since 2008, Richter has been organizing a day, a work day, where team members give back to the community; offering our time, and not just money. This year, Richter joined forces with one cause for Community Day.

This year, we stayed together in aid of a wonderful organization, championing a very worthy cause: Building affordable housing and promoting homeownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty.That organization is Habitat for Humanity Montreal.

As part of its expansion plans into Toronto, Richter has joined forces with SBLR, a boutique financial advisory firm.

"Richter has always impressed us with their knowledge, expertise, and service orientation. The expansion to Toronto simplifies logistics and provides us both with more opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing. Montreal businesses will also now have better access to some of the best market insights in Toronto,"

Brent Jones, CFO of Wilson Transportation & Leasing Group
