Toronto, ON ⁠–⁠ Sone Rovet Chasson LLP (“SRC”) is proud to announce it has joined Melo LLP (“Melo”), a leading Southwestern Ontario advisory firm. Going forward, SRC will be branded under the Melo banner.

The leadership, management and staffing structure of SRC will not change as a result of this union. Moreover, as part of the Melo group, SRC and its clients will benefit in several key ways, most notably through expanded service capabilities, greater access to professional resources, increased operational efficiencies and a clear growth and succession plan for the future.

Ensuring seamless continuity both internally and externally, SRC Senior Partner Marla Chasson Sone will now serve as Toronto Managing Partner. Working directly with Jason Melo and Mark Danelon ⁠–⁠ Melo Chairman and Founding Partner and Melo CEO, respectively ⁠–⁠ Chasson Sone will spearhead the expansion of the Melo group in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) market.

“My Senior Partners ⁠–⁠ Howard Sone and Randy Rovet ⁠–⁠ and I are thrilled to unite with the Melo group, guided by a shared vision to define ourselves as one of the country’s premier mid‑market CPA advisory firms,” says Chasson Sone. “Melo is a remarkable organization with a progressive culture, exceptional team members and an impressive growth story. We are excited about this transformative opportunity to begin the next chapter of our journey with Melo. We simply could not ask for a better partner.”

For the Melo group, this is the latest in a series of carefully mapped alliances that have steadily propelled the firm’s market growth and presence in its Windsor‑Essex County homebase and beyond. Most importantly, this newest strategic partnership reflects Melo’s ongoing commitment to seeking out and uniting with likeminded firms, all with a focus on providing an elevated level of expertise and service to both established and emerging businesses.

“Through our entrepreneurial drive and focus on service excellence, we have become a significant business advisory name in the Southwestern Ontario market, so expansion into the GTA is a natural and logical progression for us,” says Melo. “Establishing a prominent presence in Canada’s financial capital has been top‑of‑mind for some time, but of course we wanted to do it with the right group, and the more we got to know the entire SRC team, it was clear our values and vision aligned perfectly. By bringing such a distinguished firm into the Melo organization, we’re gaining additional first‑class resources and capabilities, while solidifying our standing as one of the fastest growing mid-market advisory firms in the province.”
