OUR CLIENTS TRUST US WITH THEIR FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP

"As a public company, we have tight deadlines and complex issues to deal with, and we began working with Forbes Andersen in 2010 before we went public. One of the partners has always been our fractional CFO; first Paul and then Mike when Paul moved up to our Board of Directors. Over the years they've acted as our trusted advisors, scaling their team up or down to meet our needs, and bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge not just about IFRS but also about Canadian capital markets and issues that affect our industry. They helped us through two transformational transactions and we couldn't ask for a better partner in Canada."

Ramiro Massa
President and CEO, Minsud Resources Corp.

"When we set up The Walrus Foundation over 20 years ago, Paul helped us navigate the process of transferring the magazine assets into the Charity, and we have relied on Forbes Andersen for various financial reporting services ever since. For the past dozen years or so, we have worked closely with Mike on our annual financial statements and we've appreciated the continuity. During our association with Forbes Andersen, The Walrus has trained over 200 emerging journalists, won hundreds of awards, and established fundraising pipelines which will allow us to continue our mandate into the future."

Jennifer Hollett
Executive Director, The Walrus foundation

"I've always enjoyed working with Forbes Andersen; the level of support they provide to our CFO and staff is phenomenal. Ratanamol's team drives our back-office and provides all our financial reporting requirements, including audit support... and Paul has been our Treasurer since 2006. We live in a world of constant changes - accounting, tax, regulatory - and Forbes Andersen helps drive our operational efficiency in a way that I appreciate as CEO."

Anthony Cohen
President Chief Executive Officer, Gulf & Pacific Equities Corp.
