For Ben, relationships come first. He puts in the time to ensure he clearly understands his clients’ broader life goals and works hard to create strong and long-term partnerships. That’s what allows him to create truly bespoke solutions for his clients. Highly involved in his local community, Ben is active on a number of local community committee’s and groups.

MATT O’BRYAN DIRECTOR A longtime team member of Plus 1, Matt joined the Group in 1997. Now a director of both Plus 1 Accountants and Wealth Advisors, there’s nothing he enjoys more than knowing he has helped his clients and their businesses grow and thrive.

KAREN (KAMALJIT) PARHAAR DIRECTOR Experience. Efficiency. Flexibility. Positivity. These are Karen’s trademark qualities. It makes sense that she’s earned herself such an esteemed reputation; she’s been with Plus 1 since 1995. Now, at the top of her game, Karen works closely with each and every client until their expectations are exceeded and financial futures are secured with utmost satisfaction.

And nothing makes her happier than seeing the positive effect this has on their businesses and lives. Karen is known around the office as somewhat of a Yoda. A mentor to the more fresh-faced employees, she gently guides others in the intricacies of finance and client-relationships.

“It gives me a real sense of satisfaction to see my clients happy with the results; it confirms that the service I provided to them was valuable.”
