Millards Chartered Professional Accountants is proud to announce the promotion of three new Associates. Formerly Senior Accountants at the Brantford firm, Joshua Laporte, Brooke Brenneman, and Jason Dickens have been appointed to the position of Associate.
Laporte has been with Millards since August 2010 and has been working in the Tax department.
His client work has immersed him in a wide variety of taxation experience including corporate and personal tax. His growing resume also includes GST, HST and U.S. tax challenges.
“I’m really excited to be in my new role as an Associate. I’m eager to continue the development of my client base and carry on the level of professionalism and expertise that clients have come to expect from Millards.”
Like so many Millards team members, Laporte is family focused and involved in the community. He is the current Treasurer for Brant Food for Thought and welcomed his first child Emilia last September. He has been married for 5 years to wife Tara.
New Associate Brooke Brenneman began at Millards as a co-op student. She joined the firm full-time after finishing university and completing the Uniform Final Evaluation exam in November of 2009.
“I have enjoyed every step of the journey. From my beginning as a co-op student where I learned how to prepare files and tax returns, to being given the responsibility to train and mentor co-op students and review files and returns, I’m excited to put all of my experiences together in my new role as Associate.”
Brenneman was a volunteer at the Waterloo Ten Thousand Villages store and recently became a mentor for the Laurier Launchpad program. She has a 1 1/2 year old daughter with her husband Jesse.
A former Ancaster High School student is among the new Associates. Jason Dickens completed his education at the University of Windsor and chose Brantford to reside in ten years ago. His wife Anne Marie is a teacher at St. John’s and they have two children. Jason has been with Millards since 2012. Prior to joining Millards, Jason ran a small accounting practice, and worked with a well known distributor of household kitchen and laundry appliances.
“I look forward to the challenges of being an Associate. I’m especially excited about working with the Brantford business community.”
Dickens has gained a number of clients since transitioning to Millards. He believes his technical abilities and attention to customer service, combined with Millards’ long standing reputation, has helped him to prosper at the firm.
“My new role will allow me to better serve our growing list of clients as well as expand my community involvement.”
One of Canada’s largest accounting firms, Millards has a long and rich heritage built on the shoulders of outstanding team members. Our new Associates are in good company. We congratulate them for their achievements and dedication to our clients and we look forward to their continued growth and success.
