Do you have a cause that's close to your heart? At Nexia Friedman, we believe that our time and skills can benefit people far beyond our loyal clientele. Our work-life balance philosophy allows the time for activities like fundraising, the donation of free services, and workshops in the accounting field. Those of you who are active volunteers will surely agree, the experience is quite rewarding for all those involved.
In previous years, members of our staff participated in fundraising efforts for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation, as well as planned comedy nights and car washes for the Club des Petits Dejeuners, an organization which offers meals to underprivileged children at school. We are proud of our team members who made excellent fundraising strides for these charities and many others.
Some of our ongoing community-oriented activities include the yearly donation of non-perishable food collection for Sun Youth Christmas food baskets, and firm-wide participation in National Demin Day to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer charities.
What’s more, nothing gives us more pleasure than ‘donating’ our strongest skill…accounting! Our team conducts Accounting and Tax workshops at Youth Employment Services (“YES”) Montreal, lecturing on accounting and basic tax compliance for first-time entrepreneurs and small business owners. We also provide monthly accounting clinics for YES Montreal members. In addition, the team works with social services agencies to prepare personal income tax returns for welfare recipients and low-income individuals.
