APSV Comptables Professionnels Agréés Inc. was founded in June 2011 by four partners, including Caroline Pombert, CPA, and Sébastien Vandal, CPA. 1

From the beginning, APSV has specialized primarily in not-for-profit organizations (community organizations, childcare centres, foundations, federations, associations, etc.). APSV mainly offers financial statement auditing services, but we also offer review engagement services, financial statement compilation, tax services, accounting assistance, and support and training services. APSV is experiencing sustained growth and is continually expanding its team with competent people who are passionate about auditing and the NFPO sector.

Since September 30, 2014, following a restructuring, APSV has been under the leadership of Caroline Pombert and Sébastien Vandal in order to continue its primary mission of serving not-for-profit organizations with the utmost passion and thoroughness.

On January 1, 2016, APSV welcomed Anouar Kebaili, CPA Auditor, as a partner. As a result, APSV broadened its field of activities by creating a new department to serve our clientele of SMEs, social economy enterprises, and individuals, particularly in the artistic, cultural, private daycare, food service, travel agency, and construction company sectors.

APSV returned to four-partner management in November 2017 when Roxane Dussault, CPA Auditor, joined the management team to be in charge of organizational dynamism. Roxane Dussault makes sure that we keep people at the heart of our priorities.

Our mission

  • To act as auditors by providing quality financial information that allows our clients to make informed decisions in compliance with the requirements of funders, lenders, and government authorities.
