The name Barricad Fiscalists was born in 2017. However, the company’s history goes back several years earlier.
When Alex Blouin completed his master’s degree in taxation in 2012, he immediately joined Louis Morin, who was already working with his son Christian. The three professionals joined forces some time later to form Morin Blouin & Associates.
A partnership project was then born. Named Groupe FEC, it was a firm that brought together tax specialists, a business valuator and accountants. Each remained autonomous and independent from the others.
In 2014, Jean-René Sénéchal joined the team. In 2016, it was Yvan Fournier’s turn. The company evolved so that the partnership project was no longer relevant and the partners wanted to bring together taxation and business valuation to practice independently.
A change of name was necessary, in order to start with a new brand and to clear up the confusion caused by the two former names: Morin Blouin & Associés and Groupe FEC. We therefore adopted the name Barricad Fiscalistes. In particular, we wanted to remove family names and acronyms from our name. A bold and innovative idea, just like our team.
Over time, our team has grown to include over 30 employees, allowing us to better serve our clients in different regions of Quebec.
