About Our Firm

PARTNERS

Steve Kirkham

After receiving his designation as a Chartered Accountant in 1992, Steve joined forces with Bruno in 1994 to help small to medium sized, owner-managed businesses with small business bookkeeping services and to deal with the complicated tasks of filing a variety of government compliant returns. With over 20 years experience in the public accounting arena, Steve has seen numerous types of business and personal situations and has had many dealings with various levels of government regarding tax and compliance issues.

Steve understands that simply preparing financial statements and filing both corporate and personal tax returns is not something in itself that brings great value to his clients. Although through this he is able to take a great burden off their shoulders and allow them peace of mind with respect to these mandatory requirements.

In order to better provide value to his clients, Steve has undertaken a commitment to offer them more of a proactive approach - looking forward into what they can do rather than dwelling on the past and what has already happened. Whether it is structuring affairs such that maximum tax savings are achieved or helping a client map out projections and goals for the coming years, Steve's main goal is to see his clients prosper.

Outside of the office, Steve is kept busy with the family - his wife, Sherry, Erin (almost 16!), Justin (11) and Gavin (6).  They all have varied interests to keep the parents "on the go".  Erin paddles for the Burloak Canoe Club, Justin swims with the Oak Acquatic Club and enjoys Art Classes, while Gavin loves to get Dad out on the driveway for some hockey and basketball.  They all try to get some down-time in over the summer at the cottage where the kids enjoy various water sports and Steve can sneak out early in the morning to get some fishing in.

Bruno Hartrell

With over 30 years of public accounting experience, Bruno has developed a wide knowledge of tax and accounting issues facing owner-managed businesses. He has helped numerous companies from start up right through to succession and has been there for them at every stage along the way.

Although Bruno has a very diverse clientele, he has come to specialize in the medical industry, dealing with a variety of doctors and medical clinics. He also maintains a solid base of clients in construction related fields.
