Steve obtained his designation as a Chartered Accountant in 1991 while practicing with an international firm in Mississauga, Ontario. He holds an Honours BMath degree from the University of Waterloo.
Steve joined NPT LLP as a Senior Manager in October 2005 after he and his family decided to relocate to London from Owen Sound where Steve had been in practice for nine years with a national accounting firm. Steve’s previous experience complements the diverse client base Neal, Pallett & Townsend LLP currently enjoys. Steve practices primarily in the areas of accounting and auditing of various sized corporate clients. In addition, Steve also brings expertise in the areas of Income Tax and GST having completed the CICA Income Tax practitioner’s course and the GST In-Depth Course respectively.

This work helps to ensure that the highest professional standards are maintained at NPT LLP.
Steve believes public accounting is more than just the technical services we provide. Superior client service requires us to develop, maintain and grow client relationships by identifying key issues and finding resolutions to meet client needs, attempting to find ways to enhance the client’s business and personal financial success.
On a community service level, Steve’s involvement includes assisting local charities and participating in various local fundraising events. Steve is currently the treasurer for the London Aquatic Club where both his children swim.
