Wil Dykstra wears many hats—accountant, counsellor, teacher. Right-hand man to Gary Timmons, he is an even-tempered professional who encourages clients to “just pick up the phone and ask”.
From his early schooldays, Wil was always good with numbers. Accounting appealed to him as the financial field that best suited his interests and personality.
Wil worked in a national accounting firm for a stretch before deciding a smaller practice would be more up his alley: it would allow him to own the big picture with his clients, and to maintain end-to-end responsibility for client assignments. He gravitated toward the Timmons team in 2000 and the fit was obvious immediately. Wil received his CGA designation in 2002.
In addition to handling year-end reporting, tax planning and the standard mix of accounting functions, Wil acts as the firm’s lead trainer, educating clients about the features and functionality of QuickBooks and other software tools. He serves as a business and financial advisor as well, fielding questions and helping clients resolve problems when they arise.
“The greatest reward of my job is removing the fear factor. Accounting can be overwhelming. I guide clients along, build their confidence, and remove the burden of routine tasks so they can focus on what they do well.”
