About Us

Paul has had many financial roles during his career but is now solely focused on business valuations. Valuations are usually for one of three possible purposes:

Litigation support (shareholder disputes, marital dissolution, spousal and child support)

Transaction planning (sale and purchase, admission of new shareholders, employee share plans)

Corporate restructuring (tax and transition planning)

Paul’s interaction with the client is usually, but not necessarily, through the client’s lawyer, accountant, tax adviser, or transaction adviser.

Paul has been a Chartered Accountant (a designation now known in Canada as Chartered Professional Accountant) since qualifying with Ernst & Young (Zimbabwe office) in 1986 and a Chartered Business Valuator since 2007.

Paul’s business valuations skills are built on both his education and his varied career, which has largely focused on corporate finance and corporate financial planning, disciplines that, like business valuations, require an ability to project forward and understand business risk.

Paul has worked as a CFO in Canadian and international companies in financial services, value added agriculture, mining, mineral exploration, marketing and software and as a corporate finance specialist in corporate banking. He has also consulted to all levels of business, from privately owned start ups to publicly traded corporations and covered a wide range of industries from traditional manufacturing to modern technology and knowledge based firms.
