Cassie Wettig
Assistant Manager
Eleni Palacios Diaz
Staff Accountant
Cassie joined the firm in March 2023 right in the heart of tax season and it didn't take long for her to progress to Assistant Manager. Her hard work, enthusiasm, and organizational skills couldn't be overlooked so we had to make good use of her talents.

When Cassie is not in the office, she can be seen perfecting and working on her latest baking recipes. You may even see her at the Kitchener Farmer's Market where she sells some tasty treats.
Eleni joined the firm in 2024 right in the heart of tax season and it didn't take long to get working on those T1s. During the year, she helps out with our various bookkeeping clients. Her high-level enthusiasm is contagious and our clients are happy that she's on our team!

When Eleni is home, she loves to organize social a get-together or two where she entertains everyone with a delicious assortment of food and a prank or two for funsies.
