Brett Woods
With an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for business, it’s no surprise Brett has built an innovative accounting practice that looks beyond the numbers.
He guides clients towards maximum returns and results using his 35+ years of experience and loves finding profit-driven opportunities for businesses and personal investor success.
Born into a family of small business owners, Brett grew up with a keen interest in understanding what makes businesses and their owners tick, and the rewards provided.
It’s not all serious business though: Brett enjoys the great outdoors, whether it be on the water or in the snow and a good laugh with his family, friends and clients.
