Ian Edmonds –  CPA, CA, LPA, CPA (NC)

Born and raised in Toronto, Ian graduated from McMaster University’s Business Program with a minor in computer science. During his studies, he discovered that accounting was a valuable tool in helping business owners have a clear understanding of how their business was doing. By looking “behind” the numbers, Ian found useful information that he could use to guide business owners with solutions that would help save them money.

After obtaining his designation as a Chartered Accountant (now Chartered Professional Accountant), Ian was ready to offer a unique blend of accounting services with business advice to clients from all industries and walks of life.

 

Ian started his professional career working at a mid-sized firm, helping small and medium-sized businesses and not-for- profits solve accounting problems with forward-thinking strategies. He also managed the firm’s junior staff, developing training programs with interactive, real-world case studies that encouraged active participation and enhanced learning. That experience gave Ian the knowledge and experience he needed to build and lead a team that’s completely client focused when delivering customized accounting solutions.

By launching Edmonds Professional Corporation, Ian and his team are able to bring his personalized approach to a diverse client base. They also empower their clients by showing them how to understand the information behind the numbers, building long-term relationships as their clients prosper.

Professional solutions delivered with personal service and friendly, knowledgeable advice, are what sets Ian and his team apart.

In his spare time, Ian’s life goes beyond the numbers. He enjoys martial arts, scuba diving, and plans to visit every continent on Earth, including Antarctica.
