About Francis MacKan

With more than 35 years of experience, Francis Mackan brings extensive tax, audit, accounting and business advisory expertise to privately owned companies. Francis’ success as an advisor to highly successful owner-managed, family-run and other closely held privately-owned businesses is founded on a deep understanding of their business model and operations. He has worked with companies from every sector, including retail, manufacturing, consumer products, automotive, healthcare and professional services. From the start-up stage to succession planning, Francis helps first-time entrepreneurs and seasoned business leaders maximize cash flow and minimize income tax through the full lifecycle of their business. “In order to advise my clients, I need to know and understand them and their business” says Francis. “That deep understanding allows me to provide true value added services. I want my client to walk away from every meeting knowing that they could not pay $1 less in tax.” Making a difference in his community of Burlington, Ontario is important to Francis. He is an active member of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce, where he has served as Chair of the Board of Directors.
