Yesterday brought together accountants and bookkeepers from across the Alberta community for an afternoon of learning and connection. We loved seeing new relationships form, familiar faces reconnect, and important conversations continue well into dinner.

Thank you to Clayton Achen CPA, CA, TEP of Achen Henderson CPAs for setting the stage for an afternoon of thoughtful discussion, and to everyone who helped make the day so memorable.

Calgary, thank you for having us 💙

Our leadership team spent a few days in Banff this week getting aligned on what’s ahead for Wagepoint. Great conversations, big priorities, and honestly, not a bad place to do it. ⛰️

Grateful for this group and everything we’re building together.
