About Seija

I am Seija Makelainen (She/Her) – a wife, a mother, and a professional accountant in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I am a local small business owner who is passionate about collaborating with small businesses and personal taxpayers to provide cost-effective accounting and tax education and services.

I started my career in 2010, working with Grant Thornton LLP as an auditor. In 2013, I received my Chartered Professional Accountant and Chartered Accountant designations and started a small part-time practice with a focus on personal tax returns. In 2015, I continued my career at Teleco, where I worked as a Controller until 2021. In 2019, I decided to start scaling up my own practice, taking on my first small business accounting client. Currently, I am a full-time local small business owner serving more than 40 small business accounting clients and 200 personal tax clients.
