Brian Simundic

Tax Recovery Consultant

Brian (BSc, CMA, CPA) worked for the ‘other side’ for about 35 years – with both the BC and federal taxation agencies, in their various permutations, including Revenue Canada, Consumer Tax Audit Branch (now CTB) and the Canada Revenue Agency. He knows tax departments’ procedures and has performed many audits.

He is happy to now use that knowledge for the benefit of LWA clients – recovering money in the opposite direction, from the government back to the organizations. Brian is an avid tennis player, an all around nice guy, and enjoys traveling the world.
