I am founder, president and CEO of ArtsKeeper Inc, the social media platform for anyone who loves the Arts, for all artists, writers, musicians, photographers and performers, as well as enthusiasts and patrons. ArtsKeeper is the only social media site that focuses on the needs of all artists and artisans; whatever their art or craft, whatever their stage in life. Why did i found ArtsKeeper? - To make it easier for people to make a living as a creative, as an artist.
Previously, I was founder, president and CEO of XBI Software Inc. In that role, I was a past chair of XBRL Canada and member of the SBR (standard business reporting) Forum. I was an editor of the first Canadian GAAP PFS taxonomy, and of the International XBRL Global Ledger Taxonomy. I am an SBR and XBRL evangelist and consultant, and I have served on many XBRL working groups.
Before that, I was founder, president and CEO of Dr Tax Software Inc, a premier supplier of tax software to Canadian accountants and tax professionals, and of Dr Tax -UFile.ca Inc, the first company to create a Web-based tax preparation program in Canada. Under my vision and leadership, the Dr Tax team developed Dr Tax Software from an idea to the second-largest company in its market segment. We actualized the dream of easy, quick web-based tax preparation and led the UFile team to build the first and best Web-based tax application in Canada. The Dr Tax group has been sold to Thomson Reuters.
