Robert Rhéaume, FCPA, FCA

A CPA and a business leader who consistently delivers quality results, Robert is a fixture in the Ottawa business community.

As the leader of the Ottawa audit practice at BDO Canada LLP, he oversaw the office’s remarkable five-fold growth into a multi-million-dollar service line. Throughout his career, Robert has also mentored numerous individuals towards the partner path.

Over the years, Robert actively shared his wealth of experience and wisdom as a speaker at the University of Ottawa and championed the opportunities that the CPA designation can offer to the next generation. His commitment to fostering a bright future for all children is evident in his role as an inaugural Board of Directors member for La Coccinelle daycare, the largest francophone childcare in the province.

Robert is also an enthusiastic fundraiser, raising over $135,000 to combat youth homelessness through Stay Up Ottawa. His volunteer efforts extend to organizations like the Montfort Hospital Foundation, Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, BGC Ottawa and the Ottawa Board of Trade.

Robert wants future CPAs to know that this profession offers an amazing path towards leadership.
