A founding partner of Eleion Professional Group, Ida Colby is a skilled and talented Chartered Professional Accountant with a flair for problem solving. She has worked in public accounting for over 31 years.
Ida has vast experience with tax planning, review engagements, financial statements, and not-for profit audits. “I have a fondness for tax research” says Ida. “What I discover can really benefit our clients.”
