About Kevin

Kevin helps Northern Ontario business owners keep more of what they’ve earned and pass it on with confidence. As a Senior Tax Manager at FCR, he works with owner-managers, families and their advisors to build tax structures that protect what they have built and set them up for the next generation.

With nearly two decades in public practice, Kevin leads the firm’s corporate and personal tax engagements. He designs and carries out corporate reorganizations, estate freezes and succession plans. He also guides buyers and sellers through business transactions, structuring purchases and sales to get the best after-tax result. He pairs corporate-level planning with personal tax strategies for business owners and key staff, so the whole picture works together. Kevin also represents clients in CRA reviews, reassessments and notices of objection, and he mentors FCR’s growing tax team.

Outside the office, Kevin enjoys time with his family on the lakes of Northern Ontario.
