Our Team
Firas obtained his CPA designation in 2009 after graduating from Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business in 2007, with a designation in both accounting and finance. He started his accounting career working with a large multinational firm and then a smaller local firm. These experiences enabled Firas to start his own firm in 2010, pursuing his goal of becoming a key business advisor to small business owners. Firas has built his firm around the vision of fostering a unique client experience through a down-to-earth approach, and a focus on building positive relationships. Firas recognizes the risks, challenges and rewards that business owners experience and takes pride in helping his clients meet their business goals.
Firas and his wife Alex live in Westboro with their three kids. Together, they spend as much time as they can outdoors, hiking and cycling, and participating in various other sports. Firas also contributes his time to a number of non-profit and charitable organizations in Westboro and Ottawa.
