Who am I?
A proud Calgarian...
I have lived in Calgary for over 20 years. During that time I have tried to emulate the passion, hospitality and entrepreneurial spirit that this city is known for around the world. I am active in my community and regularly participate in events that help to bring clean drinking water to all Canadians.
... and a great accountant.
For over ten years I have worked hard as an accountant in Calgary for private companies and accounting firms to help clients in a variety of industries. I have accumulated significant experience in the hospitality industry and not-for-profit sector. Although I really enjoy accounting and tax, building relationships with clients and helping them succeed has been the most rewarding part of my career.

How can I help your business?
My goal is to help your business succeed. What are your goals? Do you know? You went into business for a reason. Do you remember why? Do you love making widgets? Do you want to build a company to pass on to your children, or sell it? Do you simply want to work for yourself and pay your bills? Whatever your reason, how you manage your business should reflect this. And just with any goal in life, your business needs a plan to help reach that goal. Are you are too busy with the day-to-day operation to do this? Or maybe you just don’t know where to start?
That’s where I come in. I will meet with you to determine your goals and how they relate to your business. We will then work together to develop a plan to meet those goals as well as key performance indicators so we can measure how the business is progressing. Once the plan is implemented, we will meet quarterly to assess the business’s performance. We can then build on successes or tweak the plan to increase performance further. I will hold you accountable and keep you on track.
While I’m there, I will prepare all of the traditional services that accountants do. Prepare “notice to reader” financial statements, corporate tax returns, T4/T5 returns, etc. If I can’t do it for you, I have access to a trusted network of professionals that can assist you.

How can I help your not-for-profit organization?
Not-for-profit organizations present many unique challenges. There are different financial reporting standards, tax compliance rules and an added layer of transparency required. And yet, many times, those making the decisions in these organizations are volunteers and/or may lack financial experience.
The goals of your organization are important to our society. That is why I want to help you interpret your financial statements and understand your accounting system so that you have the correct information to manage your scarce resources efficiently and ultimately make our community a better place.
