REJEAN LAPIERRE
FOUNDER
Since 1977 I have offered my professional services in accounting and taxation. I was raised in Sherbrooke, and I worked for Revenue Canada before I established myself and my business here in the United States. I was one of the first accountants to serve the French-speaking community in South Florida in the late 1970’s.
