Toronto’s Wave Financial purchased by H&R Block for $536-million Toronto accounting software firm Wave Financial Inc. has been purchased by tax services giant H&R Block, Inc. for US$45 million ($536 million). It’s the latest in a string of “exits” – takeovers or IPOs – of venture-backed Canadian firms this year that have commanded relatively large valuations by historical standards, a sign that Canada’s surging early-stage tech sector is maturing. “Exits [valuing firms] at $5 million to $1 million were the norm in Canada in the early 2s and $1 million to $2 million earlier this decade,” said Peter Misek, a member of the Wave board. “For the successful companies now in Canada, $5 million-plus is what entrepreneurs and venture capitalists are shooting for.” The Wave takeover is one of three deals this year to rank among the seven largest exits since the dot-com crash, according to data compiled by the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS).
