Nadim Chaar - CPA · Montréal
The journey
The path
CPA designation earned in 2023 through the CPA Canada professional program. The diploma is one thing; the field is another. Career began at Deloitte — audit rigor, large-scale corporate tax. Then BDO Canada and CSS Laval before launching his own practice.
Why go solo
To offer Quebec entrepreneurs and incorporated professionals the same depth of tax analysis as the Big Four. without the bloat, without the jargon, and in both languages clients here actually speak.
The conviction that changes everything
Most accountants do compliance: they file your returns in April and send a bill. Nadim does planning: he looks at your situation 12 months out, identifies what can be optimized legally, and structures decisions before the year is over.
The coach behind the CPA
Nadim also coaches boxing at Phoenix MMA. It's not a hobby footnote. it's the same method he applies to clients: prepare, repeat, perform under pressure. Anticipate the punches, execute at the right moment.
« One hour of planning at the start of the year is easily worth ten emergency meetings during filing season.»
Clarity
No gratuitous jargon. If I can't explain it to you in two sentences, I haven't fully understood it yet.
Proximity
Available year-round. You don't wait until March to get an answer on a June decision.
Rigor
Big-Four method, human-cabinet format. Every file is treated as if it could end up in court.
