Our Story
Where accuracy meets insight.
Built for Stability. Designed for Growth.
HW Partners began with a clear purpose: to provide entrepreneurial businesses with the kind of thoughtful, responsive accounting and tax advice that supports real-world needs. Since our founding in 2002 by Ian Hendry and Dan Warren, we’ve stayed true to that mission, delivering expert guidance with a human touch.
What started as a small team has grown into a firm recognized for both technical depth and approachability. Many of our current partners began their careers here, and this continuity is evident in the way we build long-standing client relationships. Our culture blends high standards with genuine empathy, fostering a collaborative environment that clients trust and feel at ease in.
Over two decades later, we remain committed to supporting owner-managed businesses, families, professionals, and organizations across Ottawa and beyond, helping them make confident financial decisions today while planning for tomorrow.

What clients are saying
Hendry Warren is a very professional organization who are very sensitive to client needs and timelines. Marie Fraser and all of the staff that I have met and worked with exhibit the same degree of courtesy and professionalism. It is always a pleasure working with them.
