From March 6-19, Collins Barrow is highlighting the excellence and achievements of several women who strive towards creating value; breaking equality barriers and empowering others.
International Women’s Day celebrates the women who make it happen all around the world. Our women make it happen every day. Collins Barrow believes in a workplace environment that fosters the careers of Canadian women. Over the past 20 years, the accounting industry has seen a positive shift in the attitudes towards female advancement. At Collins Barrow, we already have a higher percentage of women partners than the industry norm—and growing. Meet Arlene.
Arlene has been with Collins Barrow Toronto since 2013. With 17 years of business valuation and damage quantification expertise, her dedication to achieving business growth for clients, shareholders and the community extends to the development of up and coming professionals as well. Awarded first place in McGill University’s CA program, Arlene has taught courses for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario and lectured at York University and the University of Toronto, believing that the path to success is clearly defined when knowledge is shared.
That isn’t all.
Arlene’s commitment to providing actionable advice, combined with all-encompassing work and knowledge of personal injury and commercial economic loss claims, adds to her reputation as a subject matter expert within the network and in the legal community. Arlene is also regarded as a highly proficient and capable expert witness in the Ontario Supreme Court and Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) arbitration hearings.
“I was attracted to Collins Barrow because the firm and the network offer a feeling of tremendous support that I believe should be extended to those aspiring to achieve success in the many unique areas of our field. I am inspired by all the professionals I meet on a daily basis who create value for clients seeking advice on complex matters – and they do it with both intellect and compassion.
