About Ben

Ben graduated from university in 2006 with an honours degree in Commerce. He then began a 16-year career in the energy industry, working in the finance and accounting functions of globally-known companies such as Shell and Bruce Power (the world’s largest nuclear plant). During this part of his career he  held numerous positions, worked in 15 different countries, led teams of 20+ professionals and obtained his accounting accreditation. The key to his successful career was understanding the businesses he supported and staying focused on adding value.

While the corporate world allowed him to round out his business acumen, financial reporting and auditing skills, there was a constant side-gig Ben always enjoyed more: assisting small businesses with their finances and strategic decisions. This passion (along with a desire to pursue a more self-directed career) led him to leave this thriving career behind, and focus instead on TCB Accounting.

In addition to his passion for business, Ben’s a family man who has been married for 13 years. He and his wife have amazing twin 7-year-old daughters, and an overly-energetic (but very loveable) dog. Ben loves the outdoors, sports and staying active and healthy.
