For CEO and Partner John Chisholm, it’s all about the personal touch. Building and maintaining connections with a diverse group of clients is a priority for John.
At SB Partners, John is the go-to person for auditing and tax services, strategic planning and business development. He also has a special interest in transition planning and family-owned businesses.
“Family businesses face some unique challenges, and working with them is something I enjoy,” says John. “I have a knack for handling the personal dynamics that take place within families. My goal is to help clients who are having problems and making their lives better. If I’ve helped them sleep better at night, then I’ve done my job.”
John is dedicated to building strong relationships with his clients so they can work collaboratively to shape effective strategies. He helps them see the big picture, and strives to make complex issues more manageable.
A community-minded volunteer, John helped establish the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton. He currently serves on the Joseph Brant Memorial Foundation – Gift Planning Advisory Council and on the board of the Burlington Economic Development Corporation.
You can count on John to go the distance. When he’s not contributing to the community or serving his clients, John can be found logging kilometres on his road bike with a local cycling club.
