Bruce Simms

Senior Consultant
Indigenous Economic Development
CPA

In my twenty-five years of economic development with First Nation and Metis clients, I’ve had the opportunity to assist in the creation of many projects in natural resources, energy, land development, tourism and other sectors. I enjoy vetting an interesting business opportunity and seeing it through to reality.

The creative process in developing opportunities is the most rewarding part of my work. I enjoy collaborating with communities, bankers, lawyers, accountants, engineers, and government officials to stitch together complex projects. Business planning and sourcing financing are also part of my work.

Over time, I’ve developed a good sense of whether a project can succeed. As a professional, I provide my clients with straightforward advice and recommendations. I’m always open for a coffee so we can “sit down and take a look at it.”
