Our Team
Gordon J. C. Bates
President / CEO / R.P.A.
In 1994, under the name of Bates Management Corporation, the principle shareholder, Gordon J.C. Bates, a Registered Public Accountant, moved his unincorporated business into the corporation. He began his business in the mid seventies in the accounting field after several years as an accountant in the banking business. The accounting courses taken at NAIT and during the years spent in the bank together with a number of years working experience with a CA in Edmonton peaked his interest in corporate accounting and tax return preparation.
