Turning Tax Complexity into Opportunity
Most people find income taxes frustrating, stressful, even overwhelming. I view them as a puzzle to solve and a means to make a genuine difference in my clients’ lives. What drives me is the opportunity to take something complex and turn it into clear, strategic advice that helps individuals and businesses thrive. At HW Partners, I’m part of a team that brings technical expertise, real-world experience, and a practical mindset to every tax challenge we face.
A Bit About My Journey
I grew up in Newfoundland and Labrador and moved to Ottawa to study Commerce and Accounting at Carleton University. I joined HW Partners as a co-op student and never looked back, becoming a full-time team member in 2010 and earning my CA designation in 2012. I’ve also completed CPA Canada’s In-Depth Tax Course and serve as a tutor for CPA Canada’s Income Tax for the General Practitioner course. Tax is constantly changing, and I love being in a field that keeps me on my toes. Whether it’s compliance or planning, I enjoy the challenge of delivering solutions that empower my clients and support their success.
What Matters to Me
I’m passionate about helping business owners, whether they’re launching something new or managing a business that’s been part of their family for generations. I specialize in evaluating business structures, identifying growth opportunities, and tailoring strategies to meet both current needs and long-term goals. When my clients succeed, I feel like I’ve succeeded too.
Life Outside the Office
Outside of tax season, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, as well as staying active. I also enjoy supporting fellow professionals and sharing what I’ve learned through mentoring and tutoring. Giving back to the accounting community is vital to me, it’s one of the ways we all continue to grow.
