Groupworks Financial Corp., a consolidator of Canadian employee benefit, pension advisory and HR firms, has been named one of the fastest growing emerging companies in Canada as part of PROFIT Magazine’s HOT 50 ranking in 2010.

The firm added almost 100 new corporate clients and expanded services in Quebec and Manitoba. Today, Groupworks staff of 150 provides service across six provinces. The company focuses on introducing more comprehensive market solutions, building a broader source of suppliers and proprietary solutions, and recruiting experienced advisors.

“We are proud of our track record of growth, from a humble startup in 2006 to a national advisory firm with over $300 million of in-force premiums in 2010,” said Laurie Goldberg, chairman and CEO. “As an emerging publicly listed company, we are especially thankful to all of our clients, advisors, employees, partners and stakeholders for their support in enabling our growth.”
