Alison AkehurstOwner

As President and General Manager of Flagship Accounting & Management Services I play a key role in ensuring client satisfaction and company growth. When Flagship began in 1999 our mission was to provide effective governance and capacity building to non-profi t organizations and small business. In 2010 we opened our doors to the public to provide small business and individual’s superior quality and service with rates that fi t their budgets. It is and always has been a personal passion to be able to assist companies and individuals with their fi nancial growth and success.

I have worked in public accounting since 1991. I worked for a Chartered Accountant for 19 years where I was trained in bookkeeping, income tax

preparation, auditing, fi nancial statement and tax preparation for corporations. I have extensive experience working with non-profi t organizations and small business.

Outside of work hours, I enjoy spending time with family, camping, travelling, reading and playing games. My children are the icing on the cake at the end of the day.
