Tasktop develops and sells on-premise software and SaaS solutions that integrate disparate tools used in the software creation process by Fortune 2000 companies. This reduces a tremendous amount of waste and time by enabling different teams such as requirements, software development and testers all have real-time data flowing back and forth from the different tools they're using (ie. Blueprint, JIRA, HP ALM, Jama etc).I enjoyed supporting the business during a period where the Company experienced explosive subscription revenue growth. My focus and objectives for the department changed over time as we met the demands of a growing business. Early objectives were focused around an overhaul of the accounting department from the typical start-up to a top tier department. Later objectives were focused around improving budget and forecast models, developing, interpreting and communicating KPIs, investor relations, monthly, quarterly and annual reporting, statutory compliance, external financial audit, analysis of complex accounting standards, partnering with members of the leadership team to provide insights to their departments; all as we continue to build the infrastructure and processes needed to support a growing business.

After 1.5 years with GE, I decided to join my old boss/CFO at Tasktop.

Jan 2010 - Feb 2013
BDO is a Chartered Accountant firm that offers a wide variety of services including assurance, tax, valuations, and insolvency. During my articling tenure, I was fortunate to experience a wide variety of engagements from the messy "shoe box filled with receipts" compilations to big company audits. This allowed me to build the foundation needed to be a high performing professional. It taught me how to put financial statements together from scrap, how to compile and file T2s & T1s, how to coordinate an audit, how to think of systems and processes, and most importantly, how to reconcile.I attained my CA designation in December 2012.
