Chad Frederick

Partner

After completing his commerce degree at the University of Alberta Chad articled with public accounting firms in Edmonton and established his first office in 1985 after completing his designation. Much like our office today, his practice focused on providing responsive, client-focused accounting and business advice through relationships that have sustained through to today.

In 1992, he and his partner developed WinTax personal tax software which was subsequently acquired by Intuit and repackaged as QuickTax (currently marketed as TurboTax). In 2000, after building the software business from the two of them to a staff of over 300 as well as managing Intuit operations in the UK, he made the very difficult decision to move on from his accounting practice to focus on the software business.

In 2009 the opportunity to establish this office with his son was an easy decision.  His passion is consulting with clients in all elements of their business from shareholder matters, financing arrangements, business strategy and system design.
