Asif Rahemtulla EA, CAA

Managing Partner

Hi, I’m Asif. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and business owners. After holding senior positions in the corporate world, I decided to chart my own course to create something that could benefit others in my community.

As an entrepreneur and small business owner myself, I know how much effort, skill, and tenacity are required to grow a small business— and the numerous complexities involved in doing so. When you work with our team at Platinum Bookkeeping and Tax, you leverage your operational effectiveness and pair it with our expertise, for the benefit of your business.

I am an Enrolled Agent (EA), admitted to practice before the IRS, and a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) for the IRS. I oversee the overall operations of the firm but keep a sharp focus on U.S. taxation, sales of real property in the U.S., and all compliance related filings. My primary focus is to advance small businesses in Canada by ensuring you get access to exceptional bookkeeping and tax services that are not cost prohibitive so that your business can continue to grow.

Sheila Hammer CPA, CA

Accountant, Canadian Services

Hi, I’m Sheila. I’m responsible for delivering best-in-class bookkeeping to Canadians across our country. When you’re working with us, you’ll find me performing and overseeing bookkeeping services for all our clients.

I spent a decade growing a local retail business and developed an in-depth understanding of the obstacles and opportunities of business ownership. Being an entrepreneur can be time-consuming and stressful, but it’s also a fun journey that never gets boring.

A previous small business owner myself, I take pride in delivering outstanding service to you and every client who needs our help to breathe easy. To ensure your bookkeeping and business issues are handled correctly, I pay meticulous attention to detail and quality, and keep you apprised of everything you need to know to make strong business decisions.
