AC Group of Independent Accounting Firms Limited

We love it when hard work is rewarded, and these three new partners at our member firm AC Belliveau Veinotte Inc have proven their merit time and again. We offer our heartiest congratulations, and can't wait to watch them continue to build strong teams and thriving, inclusive workspaces.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, effective September 1, 2024, Pam Fader, Christine MacEachen and Mike Metcalfe will be joining the Partnership at Belliveau Veinotte. This significant milestone is a testament to their exceptional performance, dedication, and hard work over the years.

Mike has been instrumental in managing our Liverpool office, where he has successfully expanded our business and fostered strong client relationships. Over the past year, Mike has also made valuable contributions in Shelburne, further demonstrating his commitment and versatility.

Christine has consistently delivered outstanding results while managing a diverse portfolio of clients. Her readiness to take on new challenges and her strategic approach make her an ideal addition to our Partner team.

Pam, who has been a Principal with us for two years and a senior manager prior to that, consistently demonstrates exceptional client management skills and leadership. Her contributions exemplify the qualities we value in our partners.

We are very excited to have Pam, Christine, and Mike join the partner group. Their new roles will enable them to further shape our firm's future and continue to deliver excellence to our clients.

Please join us in extending your warmest congratulations to Pam, Christine, and Mike on their well-deserved promotions!
