Eric and his team have been absolutely instrumental to the operations and growth of my real estate development company. From day one, they brought a level of professionalism, precision, and care that is rare to find. They don’t just “do the books” — they bring financial clarity, structure, and insight into every aspect of controlling, budgeting, forecasting, and compliance. What sets Eric apart is not only his technical expertise as a CPA, but also his deep understanding of real estate development and the complex, moving pieces that come with it. Eric and his team are exceptional.

Barbara M.Hill, MBA, ICD.D - Chair, Cystic Fibrosis Canada
I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Eric Saumure on the Board of Directors at the Cystic Fibrosis Canada, and as Board Chair I can say he is one of the most prepared and organized leaders I’ve encountered. Eric arrives at every meeting with thoughtful analysis, clear materials, and fresh ideas that drive our mission forward. His accounting and governance expertise have been invaluable. He’s assisted our Finance, audit and investment Committee with keen insight and a collaborative spirit. Whenever a challenge arises, Eric steps up energetically to find practical solutions. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric for any board role or leadership position where strategic thinking and unwavering commitment are essential.
