Bio
Ivar Eggja
Saurin has acted as my accountant since I left my CEO job at a larger corporation to run my own business. He is highly skilled in his job, not just as an accountant but also as an adviser and as a great sparring partner for any financial planning or discussion. I highly recommend Saurin Patel for any small to medium size business operator in the Burlington area. He is doing a great job, and he is always available. Just what you need.
Steve Martin
Saurin was a Pond Board member for about 24 months, and he always provided thoughtful consideration and insight on all the activities that were driving the Company. Saurin has excellent grasp of financial, accounting, and business matters, and was able to help determine the optimal way forward for Pond in his role as a Director. On a personal level, I always found Saurin to be very helpful in working through complex business scenarios, and have maintained an excellent business relationship and continue to have fruitful discussions with him since he retired from our Board. His calm demeanour, and willingness to jump in to solve any problem is appreciated, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Saurin for any role he would be interesting in pursuing.
