ABOUT US

Fos Consulting provides practical business advice, expert tax services, and soft skills training to business, charities, nonprofits, and individuals. 

As artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs) become part of everyday work, critical thinking is more important than ever. AI can generate ideas, summarize information, and accelerate workflows—but it cannot replace human judgment, context, ethics or accountability. 

We teach professionals how to work effectively with AI by:

  • Writing better prompts to produce more useful results.
  • Critically evaluating AI-generated content for accuracy, bias, and completeness.
  • Knowing when to rely on AI and when human expertise is essential.
  • Using AI as a decision-support tool rather than a decision-maker.

Grounded in decades of leadership experience and ongoing research into organizational culture, we combine technical expertise with practical solutions to help businesses grow, adapt, and succeed.

Since 2023, we have created and delivered, over thirty-five presentations on soft skills to over one thousand participants.

In addition, we are conducting original research on building stronger organizational cultures and helping leaders and employees operate more effectively within existing business cultures.

Our expertise in tax compliance and leadership comes from experience, up to date knowledge and current best practices.

I have helped individuals and businesses navigate the CRA with confidence. From Collections issues, Audits and Reassessments to Appeals, I can help you reduce both time and cost while taking the stress off your shoulders.

I have extensive training and practical experience in organizational change, innovation, and culture building. I help organizations translate these principles into practical strategies that strengthen leadership, implement innovation and navigate change effectively. 

I have successfully trained new and emerging leaders in large organizations, by delivering practical leadership and management training. I have also supported frontline employees in developing critical thinking skills to improve problem-solving and workplace performance.
