The story began when Karen Mercier took over Dave Bush’s practice in September of 2000. Dave was to stay on indefinitely in a part-time capacity but sadly passed away the following year. The practice grew steadily over the next 5 years until Karen could not take on more clients without another professional on her team. In 2005, Karen re-connected with Alice Tay, a Chartered Professional Accountant whom she had once worked with at Imperial Oil, and convinced Alice to come on board as a Partner. They spent a year working together to test the waters and in 2007, Mercier Tay LLP was officially formed. This was a perfect match, creating a partnership in friendship and in business. Karen and Alice agreed on pretty much everything, including that it’s perfectly ok for accountants to wear jeans to work whenever the desire strikes. Both believe that excellent service includes face time with clients and hands-on involvement in the work done. In 2021, Mercier Tay LLP transitioned to Tay & Company and the relationship continues with Karen following her wish to work in a part-time capacity.
Tay & Company provides services to a varied array of corporate clients. Many of these clients provide services to the oil patch including welding, consulting, trucking, safety services, construction and maintenance. The practice is also proud to service clients in retail and restaurant industries, other professional services and general trades, farming, holdings and investments firms, land development ventures as well as not-for-profit organizations.
In addition to serving corporate clients, Tay & Company also prepares a great number of personal tax returns from the simple single-slip return to the complex including farms, proprietorships, investment activities and rental operations. We not only crunch the numbers for our clients, but we provide business advisory and tax and estate planning services as well.

Bookkeeping always gave me anxiety. I never knew where to turn for advice, until I found Alice and her team. Thank you!

Selling a business is only one part of the problem, the second part is navigating the taxes! I appreciate the help we received in professional tax planning.
