Experience...
Gary
began his tax and accounting practice in 1984 after
receiving his CGA designation. His professional experience
is supplemented with several work assignments in industry.
Some of his accomplishments included streamlining accounting
systems (both manual and computerized), internal audits, tax
appeals, budgeting and forecasting, cash flow planning,
employee relations and related HR assignments and finally,
implementing quality assurance systems and programs
(ISO 9000).
The
clients within his accounting and tax practice range from
accountant for the "Mom and Pop" type of operation
to the large executive clients, covering areas ranging from
the simple T1 tax return to complicated estate and corporate
returns, budgeting, cash flow forecasting etc. , all
receiving the personal care and attention to detail that
only a practice of this size can offer to its clients.
Particular strengths are in the areas of manufacturing and
processing, restaurant and food preparation, movie and film
industry, printing and graphic arts, and finally, executorships
and estate administration accounting.
As the
Certified General Accountant designation may imply,
Gary has a generalist attitude, rather than a
specialist one. This attitude affords him the opportunity to
notice a wider variety of problems and determine the best
solution to a problem, from addressing the tax implications
to dealing with system and administrative routines.
Along with
this generalist attitude however, comes the responsibility
to remain current in tax and employment laws as well as
auditing and accounting issues. To do this he maintains a
full practice library either on computer or on the shelf,
continuing education and training through the CGA
Professional Development program and the CGA Practice Review
program, all with the idea of keeping himself and his
clients up to date on various topics which may be of
interest.
Finally,
Gary F. McLean is a active member of the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce (Pickering/Ajax) and is an affiliate
member of The Canadian
Association of Financial Planners. His
office is located just outside of Toronto, Canada, in
Pickering, Ontario.
