About

Candace Stuckless

CPA, CGA
Principal

Predominately working out of our Fergus and Orangeville office’s, Candace’s focus lies on owner-managed businesses through advisory services such as personal and corporate tax planning, financial statement preparation and consulting on strategic business decisions. Candace specializes in using analytics to support informed decision-making, enabling organizations to strengthen performance and achieve long-term stability. These skills are translated as controllership responsibilities which include financial oversight, operational efficiency, and strategic planning for growth.

Since joining RLB in 2015, Candace has truly expressed her commitment to the firms core values and strategies that support a “People Count” foundation. “The foundation for success lies in the working relationships we have with our clients and peers and the identifiable respect we have for the individual.”

Candace is so passionate about servicing great clients and maintaining strong business relationships. For Candace, success is certainly measured by what opportunities you take. Having lived in the Muskoka’s for her childhood, she was fortunate enough to enjoy what most yearn for in their later years; the 30,000 islands they call Georgian Bay. In that community, she was afforded many opportunities with unique jobs; one of which was to work as an accountant with independent filmmakers. What a terrific experience. Another opportunity included installations of satellite internet servicing the hundreds of kilometres that surround the Muskoka’s, many of which involved travelling by boat.

In addition to job opportunities, Candace pushed herself mentally and physically to compete in a canoe race called the Muskoka River X. The race was set for 130 km over a 24-hour period, and required carrying necessary food, water and shelter should you find yourself in unsafe conditions. “If you could imagine for a second, travelling the pristine river systems in Huntsville and Bracebridge with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. All of a sudden it’s pitch black in the middle of the river and you still have to navigate your way UP the river system through swifts with only the glow of your headlamps. This was a lifetime experience I will be forever grateful for. We live in a beautiful province.”
