RIEGER, Rick: CAFA®

I was born and raised in the Chatham Kent area. I received my three-year Bus Accounting course though St.Clair college. I joined this accounting firm out of college and have been employed here for over 20 years.

I primarily work on farms, both corporate and sole proprietor. I do the preparing of the tax returns and financial statements, as well as filing applications for many farm grants programs and Risk management programs such as the Agri Invest and Stability. I have worked through all the editions of these programs like FSAM, NISA, CAIS and now with CAP.

I also do tax planning for both our T1 and corporate clients, and fall review work.

Most of my learning comes from online reading, as well as the Video Tax News series updates put on by Tom Davaney.

I have worked for 20+ years on sole proprietor/partnership and corporate farm businesses. Currently, I head up our Agricultural programs. I make sure things are done and filed on time, as well as informing clients of new programs and changes to the old programs.
