Showing the art of appreciation. Segal has partnered with the Art Gallery of Ontario to offer our team members a truly inspiring new employee perk – complimentary gallery membership. In addition to free admission to the AGO’s world-class collection and exhibitions, membership also includes discounts on gallery events and presentations, exclusive access to the Norma Ridley Members’ Lounge, plus much more. This new benefit is one more way Segal is committed to fostering a rewarding and enriching firm culture. #Segal #Recruitment

Smart start. Marking a proud milestone for our firm, we welcomed Arisha M. to Segal as our first-ever high school co-op student. A grade 11 student at Northview Heights Secondary School in North York, Arisha completed a 16-week placement with us as part of her school’s Honours Math, Science and Technology (HMST) Program. Working as an accounting assistant, she had the opportunity to apply her interests in business and finance to real-world projects and clients. We were impressed by her skills and dedication as she performed a range of assignments and tasks, including organizing tax documents, data entry and assisting with bank reconciliations. But even more importantly, what did she like best about her experience at our firm? Watch the video she put together and see for yourself. #Segal #Recruitment #Culture

Works of heart. Segal was born from the strategic merger of two progressive and ambitious predecessors, creating one of the largest independently owned and operated advisory firms in the Greater Toronto Area. In celebration of this milestone union, we commissioned a series of original one-of-a-kind murals for our new combined 55,000-sq. ft. office. Created by our agency partner Mayk, these stunning displays serve to inspire and celebrate the aspirations of our growing firm, our people and clients. Incorporating a unique tapestry of creativity, they are powerful daily reminders to us, as well as those who visit, that growth and success begin with shared vision and values. #Segal #Culture

We had a blast at the Villanova College Golf Classic at RedCrest Golf Club. Maybe it was the shotgun start or being this year’s Dessert Sponsor with ready access to Dolcella Gelato, but Partner Michael A. Cipriani and our team had a great day raising funds for activities and programs at Villanova College. Thanks to everyone who participated in the event and made it so much fun and such a success. #Segal #Sponsorship #Culture

With summer upon us, we’re giving our most valuable assets – our team members – some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Now through Aug. 30, our office will be closed every Friday so our people can spend a little more time enjoying the season.

While we’ll be on a four-day workweek, clients can rest assured all business matters will be effectively managed without interruption or delay. #Segal #Culture
