Geoff MacPhee, CPA, CA, is a seasoned accounting advisor to entrepreneurs with more than a decade of experience helping business owners navigate complex financial decisions. His career has been defined by a commitment to elevating the role of the accountant—moving beyond compliance to deliver clarity, insight, and forward-thinking guidance. Geoff has built his reputation on supporting owner-managed and professional businesses through growth, transition, and increasing financial complexity, bringing the same entrepreneur-focused, future-oriented perspective that drives Gauvreau’s national approach.

Geoff’s professional journey spans public practice, industry, and private firm ownership. After earning his Honours Bachelor of Accounting from Brock University and obtaining his CA designation in 2012, he spent ten years with a national accounting firm in Audit & Assurance and Tax, including time supporting their Chicago office. He completed the CPA In-Depth Tax Program in 2018 before moving into industry, where he contributed to the significant expansion of a second-generation automotive group. In 2021, Geoff returned to public practice, and has spent the last two years running his own practice focusing on owner-managed and professional businesses clients—giving him even greater firsthand insight into the evolving and increasingly sophisticated needs of today’s entrepreneurs.

Early in his career, Geoff observed how deeply connected accountants are to the businesses they serve. Working closely with business owners revealed the unique position accountants hold—not just supporting compliance, but becoming trusted, long-term advisors with meaningful influence on operational and strategic decisions. That understanding shaped his belief that the role carries both opportunity and responsibility, and it continues to guide the way he supports entrepreneurs today.

Outside the office, Geoff enjoys golf, running, hockey, and spending time outdoors with his wife and two young children—often in the garden, exploring their property, or finding new adventures.
