Donna joined GGFL as a co-op student from the University of Ottawa in 1998.  She continued with the firm full-time in 2000 and obtained her CA designation in 2002.  After gaining invaluable experience in accounting and audit, she joined GGFL's tax department in 2003.  Returning full-time after her second maternity leave, Donna was promoted to the position of Tax & Advisory Services Supervisor in 2006.

"GGFL is a great place to work.  I not only enjoy working with the clients, but the staff as well.  That's very important given the long hours we work during the tax season."

Similar to many of our clients, Donna understands the necessity of a balanced lifestyle - especially with two young children.  "It's vital to have a balance between family, work, and personal time in order to remain focused on the work you need to do now and in dealing with the stress of deadlines.  The partners at GGFL are great role models and support all staff in achieving that balance."
