About Our Firm

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT

Steve Kirkham

Since receiving his designation as a Chartered Accountant in 1992, Steve has worked in his own small firm environment helping small to medium sized, owner-managed businesses deal with a variety of accounting and tax issues. With over 25 years experience in the public accounting arena, Steve has worked with numerous businesses and individuals 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 (21), Justin (17) and Gavin (12). They all have varied interests to keep the parents “on the go”. Erin is at University of Waterloo doing a co-op in Environmental Studies, Justin is finishing up high school and is on the swim team, and Gavin plays both volleyball and basketball at his school. They all try to get some down-time in over the summer at the cottage where the kids enjoy various water sports behind their boat and Steve can sneak out early in the morning to get some fishing in.
