Francys Brown

Partner, Canadian Taxation

Adm. A., LL.M. Tax Fiscal Authorities.

Projects are my passion and fuel, so I treat my clients' endeavors as if they were my own. I relish the challenge of unraveling the cases they bring to me and helping them shape the future. Naturally curious and creative, I seek to understand everything about them and their business, and in doing so, impart my knowledge as both a business advisor and entrepreneur. Furthermore, I enjoy sharing and demystifying my expertise, which is why I teach in the master's program in taxation at HEC and collaborate with various magazines such as Finances et Investissement and Conseiller. Whether it’s a purchase-sale agreement with very tight deadlines, or a long-term project that requires strict precision, I always do whatever it takes to deliver the goods with a big and bright smile! I believe what sets me apart is a combination of determination, passion, and eagerness to outdo myself, both in my professional duties as tax advisor and in my life as a whole.
