COO & Executive Vice President
As a startup, Griffith Group Executive Search had no accounting infrastructure in place and I contacted Harrop Scott & Associates after incorporating. Siobhan and her team provided excellent help setting things up, and they ensure we have best practices and are compliant with all rules and regulations. We are a busy company, and need support with invoicing and all accounting items. The Harrop Scott team is an amazing partner guiding us through sales, payroll and corporate tax and Canada Revenue Agency forms and filings. I don’t think we would have been able to grow as quickly and broadly as we have, if it wasn’t for their support. They are always prompt in replying to my messages, and provide excellent advice. Gunvir and Siobhan take items off my plate, and have an excellent customer service mindset. I cannot speak highly enough about, nor endorse strongly enough, the Harrop Scott team!
