“Scott’s commitment to developing high-performing teams positions him well to build on the strong momentum of our national BSO practice and continue delivering exceptional value to clients across Canada,” said Bruno Suppa, CEO, BDO Canada.
Before his tenure at BDO, Jarrett spent eight years at PwC, where he was a senior manager.
He has a bachelor’s degree in administration and commercial studies from Western University and is a chartered accountant.
Based in Toronto, Weekes joins BDO’s management consulting practice as head of the finance effectiveness and transformation team. He brings more than 20 years of audit and advisory experience, with deep expertise supporting CFOs on operating model transformation, scaling operations, harnessing technology, and enhancing controls.
“Brandon’s ability to address complex challenges with clarity and deliver actionable, forward-thinking solutions is what sets him apart. His expertise in Finance transformation and his collaborative approach will be instrumental in helping our clients achieve their strategic goals,” said Matthew Kenny, partner, advisory, BDO Canada.
Weekes previously spent 20 years with Deloitte, where he was a partner and national leader for accounting operations advisory.
