About the Speaker
Entrepreneurship is in Harrison's blood. Growing up in Toronto, both his parents each had their own small business. He saw firsthand the amount of work, stress, and personal sacrifice that goes into building something from scratch and then operating it daily, but he also saw how rewarding it was as well. This is why he is extremely passionate about building long term relationships with his firm's clients, and helping startup founders achieve their goals. Today, he is one of the managing partners at Clarke & Khan Consulting, whose clients are medium-sized business, small businesses and startups who are looking to partner with a firm to perform their bookkeeping, accounting, and tax compliance needs. The fun part for Harrison is the Fractional CFO service, providing startups with a flexible and affordable solution through different growth stages, making strategic financial decisions together alongside the founders.
