Jon Irwin, CPA, CMA
President
Jon is a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) and a CMA (Certified Management Accountant in Ontario) as his legacy designation. After spending some time overseas during his post-secondary education, (Jon attended the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology), he worked as a Junior Accountant before eventually obtaining his CMA Designation.
It was years later, however, when Jon’s life-long career aspirations began to reveal themselves. In April 2006, Jon was hired by The Hospital for Sick Children to temporarily cover for a Finance Supervisor’s maternity leave. With the realization that his work was finally making a difference, Jon’s passion quickly ignited, and he was promoted to a Controller position within a few short months. Since his time with SickKids, Jon has had the pleasure of working with many terrific Accountants over the years, and he now takes great pleasure in referring to some of these talented individuals as his fellow teammates of Healthcare Accounting.
In his spare time, Jon is either cheering on the Montreal Canadiens, (sorry Leaf Nation), or spending time with his wife (Laura), and their Golden Retriever, (Hailey). Perhaps partially due to a fast-approaching milestone birthday, Jon has recently taken up the sport of running. Not only is running a terrific way to end the day, Jon believes that setting aside a small amount of time each day to unwind is a key element in a balanced lifestyle that many people overlook.
