The strength of Malenfant Dallaire lies in the attentiveness of our dynamic and professional team. Accompanying you in your projects, our team knows how to give you the best advice. You will find that each of our experts at your service applies the 10 fundamental qualities of our profession.     When tackling a client’s file, a good chartered accountant takes it all in stride—he fears neither ups nor downs. He knows how to finely calibrate risks. Confident and sure of his expertise, he meets challenges with enthusiasm and knows how to make smooth turns, whatever the weather conditions may be.     Scouting prospects, identifying potential and developing resources to the max. Motivating players and catching the ball on the bounce — whatever it takes. It’s all in the interests of the client. In a word, the essence of a good accountant is that he relentlessly refines his technique to raise his batting average.     Mindful that each of his files develops at its own pace, a chartered accountant knows how to be tactful and patient. Astute, discreet and sensitive to the delicate context in which a client may find himself, he knows how to use the tools at his disposal to analyze the situation in the minutest detail and make the best possible decision.     The chartered accountant must have a good overview of a file if he’s to make the right recommendations. Intuitive, he asks the right questions and is ever vigilant for any changes in his field of vision. His ability to anticipate events enables him to evaluate the impact of any given event. The bottom line: he acts in a careful and deliberate manner, and on the basis of the big picture affecting an individual or company.     First and foremost a tax specialist must be thorough and diligent. His objective: maintaining the best possible handicap. Whatever the lay of the land, a good tax specialist knows how to give measured advice and recommendations, shot after shot. Conscious of the potential consequences for the client of the slightest obstacle on the fairway, he leaves nothing to chance, examines the situation from every angle and adjusts his aim in accordance with the goals targeted.     When dealing with a chartered accountant, you should be able to count on a warm and dedicated professional, who listens and is generous with his time and his ideas. Your public accountant must enjoy helping people. He must be willing to donate time and get involved in the community to share his expertise with businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our firm has several major non-profit organizations among its clientele. We’re proud to merit their trust. As a good corporate citizen, we deem it our duty to contribute to the proper functioning of these organizations which do so much for the community and enable people to maintain their dignity.     A good chartered accountant is relentless. He likes to push the envelope as far as possible. Both individuals and companies experience ups and downs, times when they’ll be in need of his sprinter’s energy and his marathon runner’s stamina. A good chartered accountant is ambitious: for you and for himself. He’ll make every effort to keep his clients in the lead group. He develops his skills endlessly and trains everyday to remain a solid coach, by your side—from starting line to the finish line.     Business sense, powers of observation, analytical ability, and the ability to synthesize. Team spirit and family spirit. Not to mention an open mind. All of the above are characteristic of the profoundly human approach adopted by a good chartered accountant. Curious by nature, he’s interested in every sphere of activity, including the entire range of situations experienced by people and businesses, whether felicitous or not. An insatiably curious explorer, he asks the right questions to dive into the heart of your business, all the better to understand it inside out. An effective manager, he knows how to assemble the most competent resources in the quest for solid solutions. His recommendations are pertinent and intelligent.     The tax specialist is an essential ingredient in the recipe for success of any good public accounting firm. Senior specialist when it comes to the subtleties of the tax base and tax laws, this idea-man adds flavour and spice to our files, as well as a good dose of strategy.     Our partners are supported by a team of professionals and technicians ready to help you improve your quality of life.
