Ted Pollock is a Chartered Accountant with several decades of experience. Ted has not only worked in public practice, both on his own and with the largest accounting firms in the world, but has worked in industry: he was the VP Finance for a small cap TSX listed public company and worked for two years as CFO in a joint acquisition of a privately held Chicago based manufacturer. He even lived in the U.S. during that period. If you choose Ted as your accountant you will be getting a deep well of knowledge and experience.

We can deal with your holding company situation and your bookkeeping. We like working with businesses that have a holding company, and a book keeper. We know real estate tax structure well, and are familiar with the construction and building industry. If you are self-employed, have rental property and/or lots of investments, you should have an accountant on your team. We meet clients in person at their Collingwood office and maintain a personal advisory relationship. We would love to meet with you.Additional Resources
