Corporate Finance Fortus Team Updates

With continued growth at Fortus Business Advisors & Accountants, we’re excited to announce several changes to our Corporate Finance team through new additions and promotions amongst the existing line-up.

We’re seeing increasing demand, both with our clients and the wider market, as they seek to shore up the future of their business, whether that’s through acquisitions, succession planning, or fund raises.

The changes we’ve made within our team reflect this demand.
