Pamela E. Forsyth,

CPA (CGA)

Accounting Manager

Pam is trusted by all Strauss clients to manage their accounting and financial needs. All aspects of each client’s financial plans, including payables, receivables, taxes, budgets, and reports are overseen by Pam.

Pam loves the fall. Her favourite quote is: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,” from Anne of Green Gables

If the key to managing over a dozen client accounts is organization, Pam is the locksmith. In addition to having a keen eye for detail, Pam is personable, outgoing, and will always put a smile on our faces. Working with client boards and their treasurers, she provides advice to plan and attain achievable goals. An excellent problem solver, Pam is always ready to assist clients or staff with any questions, concerns, or requests.

Before starting her career with Strauss in 2015, Pam received a Bachelor of Commerce from the Asper School of Business, as well as her CGA (CPA) certification. With her previous experience working for one of the ‘Big Four’ accounting firms, Pam has become an indispensable asset to the Strauss team.

Pam’s ideal vacation is at the beach or the cabin, curled up with a good book and no “distractions” (kids). Her daughters are regular office visitors who love to colour, sing songs, and play hide ’n seek. As a family, they enjoy camping in their RV, baking, and watching movies together.
