DanWyngaarden, CA, Managing Partner & CEO, and Consultant Email: danwyng@dwca.com
Dan brings more than 30 years experience to the firm, committed to every client and their individual needs. He believes in the importance of businesses being equipped with the latest and best tools they need to do the job whether it's a thorough assessment of 'last year's' results in order to move forward 'this year' or the latest hardware & software technology to increase productivity in the office environment. Dan thrives on working with established businesses whose owners have reached a point where they are over burdened with administration, managing workers and book-keeping while trying to run their business; clients who are ready to invest in their business by taking a step back to evaluate and assess their company's practices before moving forward. Dan is proud that DWCA has created a specific niche in the market for small and medium sized businesses that ensures clients have the best advice and skills to grow their businesses and attain positive results.
Dan graduated from Queen's University with a B.Comm in 1976, adding his CA designation in 1979. After working for a national firm, he ventured on his own in 1982; that company evolved to Davies & Wyngaarden in 2002. Dan completed the RANONE Consultant Training Course in 2002.
A father of 3, grandfather of 2, Dan and his wife reside in Kingston where they are active with the Christian Reformed Church and Kingston Christian School.
