Vivacious, gregarious, fun.
Harvey has aged so little in over 20 years that people are starting to wonder whether he has a portrait of himself stashed away in the attic. His real secret? Maybe it’s all the fresh air from his beloved hiking trips. Sociable, easy-going, warm and funny, Harvey is young at heart and always has a good story to tell.
Professionally speaking, Harvey has over 30 years of experience as a business advisor, providing assurance services to a diverse entrepreneurial clientele primarily in the technology, manufacturing, service and distribution sectors. He understands the risks and issues faced by today’s entrepreneurs in their efforts to operate a successful business in a highly competitive marketplace, while positioning the organization for future growth on a local or international scale.
He is Richter’s foremost expert on innovation and technology and coordinates the firm’s various disciplines to provide advisory services to both mature and early-stage businesses in setting up foreign technology subsidiaries, and maximizing the scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED) tax credits offered by the federal and provincial governments.
Harvey assists companies in the raising of capital and the development of overall strategies. He also assists companies seeking out government assistance and has supported a number of clients through their initial public offering.
All that’s a lot to deal with, but you can be sure that if Harvey is on the job, things will be dealt with in the most advantageous manner possible for his clients.

Harvey’s Expertise
Audit and Assurance Services
To know where you’re going, it’s important to know where you’ve been. Audits and professional assurance services gives you a clear picture of your business’s current performance.
Transition and Succession Planning
For business owners, the business itself is the ultimate investment. It’s often all in, and the way to retire happily ever after. But what if “ever after” comes before you’re happily prepared?
