Derly Valencia, CPA

I am a Chartered Professional Accountant committed to provide my clients with quality services.

My path to become a CPA, CGA started with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, it was a 5 year’s program in a recognized university. Followed by the completion of 13 courses and challenged national examinations in Canadian accounting, finance, taxation, audit, ethics and more, which I completed within 4 years. In addition I met and exceeded the practical experience required by CPA Ontario working in the field under the supervision of a designated CPAs. Through dedication and commitment I completed all the requirements and earned my CPA, CGA designation in 2012.

Earning my designation was one of my greatest accomplishment in my professional life, I am proud to belong to a self-regulated professional body which protects the public interest. I am required to meet and maintain standards of knowledge, skill, proficiency and professional ethics.

For the last 17 years I have been working in the field starting with 5 years working in Toronto for one of the top 20 Canadian leading CPA firms and another 5 years working for a recognized CPA firm in Niagara Falls, performing a variety of tax and accounting services across a wide range of industries including, retail, hospitality, real estate, construction, non-for-profit, transportation, professional services, car dealers, car repair shops, farmers, restaurants, and more.  

Following my ten years of experience at the two CPA firms, and after becoming a CPA, CGA I decided to establish my own practice with the objective to provide my clients with professional services and to help them reach their goals in a cost effective manner, while building trusted client relationships.
