Paolo Lento

Using a holistic understanding of my clients’ complex challenges, I deliver tailored solutions to build trusting relationships as an Assurance Partner in our Thunder Bay office. It feels rewarding when my work helps clients realize their business potential.

My focus is primarily on those businesses operating in the public, healthcare, financial, and First Nations sectors. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve also worked with privately-held businesses, non-profit organizations, and construction. Thunder Bay's diverse business industries mean as a practitioner, I don’t specialize in just one thing—I aim to be versatile. Over the years, I’ve become an expert in attest services, resolving accounting and business advisory issues. I’m also seen as a leader in implementing computer-assisted audit techniques to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Giving back to the community I was born and raised in is important to me. I’m a board member of the Program Advisory Committee for Confederation College, where I work with the faculty to ensure their curriculum is delivered in a manner that reflects the realities of the industry. My goal is to help students be better prepared for what they’ll face once they graduate. Sharing my professional expertise with these young professionals is deeply gratifying.

A lover of the outdoors, outside of work you can find me spending time surrounded by the peace and beauty of Thunder Bay’s natural landscapes.
