Our current team includes 8 partners, 24 professional staff members, and an administrative team of 4. This low staff-to- partner ratio and our long-standing history of low staff turnover reflects our philosophy of maintaining a close working relationship between Ford Keast and our valued clients.
Our firm has always taken great pride in being innovative and a leader with respect to the changing accounting and tax environment.
Today Ford Keast provides a full range of services including: Auditing, Reviews, Accounting, Taxation and other Business Advisory Services. Our “Bringing Solutions Together” approach also includes Wealth Management and Human Resource Consulting.
The year 2015 was an exciting time of growth at Ford Keast.
We merged with Gordon Hardcastle Chartered Accountants and welcomed a new group of staff and clients to the Ford Keast family, launched Ford Keast Human Resources to offer a variety of new solutions to our clients, and completed a major addition to our office building.
