Hamilton
Hamilton is where Cameron MacGillivray and Elmer Chagnon founded our company in 1933.
We continue to invest in the Hamilton community, and in 2003 built a new office downtown, next to the John Sopinka Provincial Court House. Currently the Hamilton office is lead by three partners who handle a wide variety of assurance, accounting and consulting services.
John Dow CA, is our principle
tax partner. He specializes in estate planning and structuring
corporate reorganizations. John works closely with business
owners and their families in developing pro-active tax strategies,
in an effort to minimize tax and maximize wealth.
Paul Gibel
CA, works primarily with
owner-managed businesses, both large and small, and not-for-profit
organizations. Paul's commitment to the local Chamber of Commerce
and Rotary Club have yielded a much deserved respect in our
business community.
Lou Celli CA, provides full
accounting and assurance services, and excels in a variety
of business consulting services. He is recognized as a
leader in our community through his successful work with owner
managed companies in a variety of industries, and in his ability
to work with the local financial services industry in successfully
securing commercial financing.

She has a concentrated knowledge of accounting and assurance practices, as exemplified in placing first in Hamilton and earning a place on the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario Honor Roll upon completion of the Uniform Final Exams in 1993.
