Joelle Régnier CPA, CGA

Proudly working with small and medium-sized businesses for over 25 years, we go the extra mile to provide you with a management letter full of advice and suggestions related to tax planning, GST, payroll, insurance, internal controls, and accounting (just to name a few!) so the shareholder, executive directors, or board members can make better informed financial decisions.

We know the struggle of having to ‘wear too many hats’ when you’re in charge of a small to medium-sized business. We’re here to take some of the uncertainty and anxiety you may have about your finances and compliance by sharing our knowledge.

Talbot has been an excellent firm to deal with for our audit, tax, and advisory needs. I was new to the Not-for-Profit world and Paul helped bring me up to speed with what I needed to know. They were very responsive for any questions throughout the year and worked hard to finalize our audit in record time!
Thanks to Paul, Joelle and their teams. I would certainly recommend you to others and engage you again in the future!
