Hello, I'm Karl!
I'm a Licensed Insolvency Trustee offering debt solutions in English and French to individuals across British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and the territories.

About me
I’m a Licensed Insolvency Trustee and Principal based in Grant Thornton’s Victoria office, though I help individuals from coast to coast. I began working in the accounting industry in 2002, before expanding to insolvency in 2013. I have been helping individuals and businesses overcome their financial challenges ever since. I am also bilingual and can provide debt solution services to those who speak both English and French.
A lifelong learner, I am also a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA), Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Professional (CIRP), and a Chartered Business Valuator (CBV). When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family or hiking, fishing, and enjoying the great outdoors on beautiful Vancouver Island.

How Karl has helped:
You won't be disappointed!
I wasn't sure how the process of a Consumer Proposal or Bankruptcy would go, but Grant Thornton made the process of learning my options and progressing through my bankruptcy so easy! If you need assistance to get out of a financial jam and you're not sure how to get out, contact your nearest Grant Thornton and you won't be disappointed! Thanks so much!

I feel like I can breathe a little easier.
Carla is so friendly and helpful. She answered all my questions promptly. She explained everything to me from day one and made it easy to understand the process. She gave me as much time as I needed to decide, once I made the decisions to move forward, she gave me step by step on what I needed to do to proceed. I feel like I can breathe a little easier. Karl Michael was so professional and looked over the proposal and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend using Grant Thornton.

The amount of stress that is gone has literally changed my mental and physical health.
Thank you so much for your help. You took something that was what felt like impossible to solve on my own. The amount of stress that is gone has literally changed my mental and physical health. Debt is really horrible, to the point it nearly becomes an all-consuming thought, and your whole process just made it all easy. From my first phone call to answering my emails for what I think are too many questions, your service and support are amazing.
