Brought up by a South Asian family, my whole life has been spent in the GTA. I have an incredible lovely family. My father is my best friend, my mother is incredibly dedicated, my sister is an incredible inspiration, and I am married to the ideal partner. My life is good overall, but I’ve had to overcome some terrible obstacles. My entire paternal line has recently been in and out of hospitals, requiring extensive medical treatment before their deaths.

Both of my uncles have had to face the cancer challenge head-on. Luckily, one of my uncles is still enjoying his days while the other passed away. He left behind a daughter who was only a year old. Later, my wife finally gave birth to our first child in 2020. Our daughter was born in the midst of the global outbreak of the deadly pandemic. To put it simply, we were tense, anxious, and scared since we had no idea what was going to happen.

As a small measure of my appreciation, I was happy to take part in “Accounting for Bravery,” a program that assembled CPAs from all around Ontario to file tax returns for front-line healthcare professionals at no cost. What I have learned through these encounters is how hard Toronto’s medical and dental professionals work to serve and benefit the Greater Toronto Area’s residents.

A meaningful career is more than just a job or a line of work; it’s the kind of thing that can improve people’s lives in some way. In order to better assist medical practitioners, I decided to start Health Pro Tax & Accounting. My story has nothing to do with filing tax returns. In order to succeed, one must be able to serve others and add value to their lives.
