Firas obtained his CPA designation in 2009 after graduating from Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business in 2007, with a concentration in both accounting and finance. He started his accounting career working with a large multinational firm and then a smaller local firm. These experiences enabled Firas to start his own firm in 2010, pursuing his goal of becoming a key business advisor to small business owners. Firas has built his firm around the vision of fostering a unique client experience through a down-to-earth approach and a focus on building positive relationships. Firas recognizes the risks, challenges, and rewards that business owners experience and takes pride in helping his clients meet their business goals.

Firas and his wife Alex live in Westboro with their three kids. Together, they spend as much time as they can outdoors, hiking and cycling, and participating in various other sports. Firas also contributes his time to a number of non-profit and charitable organizations in Westboro and Ottawa.

Amanda holds a Master’s in Management and Professional Accounting from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto (2007) and earned her CPA designation in 2010.

Outside the office, Amanda lives in Westboro with her two sons and Molly, FNPC’s official office dog. She balances her career with active outdoor pursuits, spending winters at Mont Ste Marie, shuttling her kids for their downhill ski racing program, travelling, and summers at the cottage where she works remotely and spends as much time waterskiing and on the lake as possible.

Megan joined FNPC in 2023, bringing experience from a large multinational accounting firm, the federal government, and a mid-sized local accounting firm focused on owner-managed businesses.

Jenny has been part of the team at FNPC since 2020, where her primary focus is on bookkeeping and personal tax. She comes from a small business background, having grown up at her parents’ family-owned marina in Muskoka. Jenny started her career as a primary French teacher, with a BA and a BEd from Queen’s University.

Jenny enjoys being involved in the Westboro community, where she lives with her husband, two children, and their dog. She is happy being out in nature, exploring local hiking, biking and cross-country ski trails.

In her role, Marilynne assists clients with bookkeeping, payroll, and personal tax preparation.

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Marilynne resides in Nepean with her husband, three children, and an exuberant goldendoodle who keeps the household lively. She enjoys making the most of every season; summer is typically spent on the water at the family cottage, while the colder months find her active on local cross-country ski trails or at her neighborhood curling club.

Christmae became a part of FNPC in 2024, beginning her journey with the team as an intern through the Business - Accounting program at Algonquin College. After completing her studies, she transitioned into a full-time role, bringing both enthusiasm and a strong foundation in bookkeeping from her prior experience in the Philippines, where she also finished her bachelor’s degree in accounting technology.

Christmae resides in Barrhaven and enjoys spending time with friends. She is an active member of her church’s music ministry, where she shares her love for music by playing various instruments.

At eight years young, Molly the Cockapoo is the undisputed heart of the office. Warm, friendly, and perpetually hopeful for a stray crumb, her absolute favourite time of year is tax season thanks to the steady stream of clients to greet — and the endless supply of belly scratches that come with them. When she isn’t conducting high-stakes security patrols during team lunch days to quietly steal unmonitored snacks, Molly can usually be found hard at work sleeping on or directly under Amanda’s desk.
