Ron had his eyes on accounting as a profession at an early age. In fact, he wrote about it for a Grade Nine assignment! Along with his skills with numbers, Ron was also developing his talents on the golf course. The two pursuits have blended well together, allowing him to be active in his passion for helping people, along with playing golf.
After obtaining his CA designation in 1997, Ron began his accounting career in Red Deer. In 2003, he became a partner with Brown Smith Owen LLP, which later became Cornish Harder Niederle LLP in 2014. Ron enjoys assisting clients in achieving their personal and business financial goals, working alongside the different needs of each one. From doctors and lawyers to ranchers and oilfield services, Ron excels in getting to know his clients and adapting to their unique needs. Working together and setting a path to financial success with them gives Ron his greatest satisfaction.
Ron is also busy in the community, having served on the Boards of the Innisfail Golf Association, Red Deer Chamber of Commerce, and Deer Park Alliance Church.
Ron spends free time keeping active, with curling, cross-country and downhill skiing in the winter. In the summer, he enjoys his golf as a member of the Innisfail Golf Club, as well as competing in numerous tournaments.
Ron and his wife, Dianne, reside in the country, just outside Red Deer, where they enjoy the outdoors while trying to keep up with their yard work.
A Chartered Professional Accountant since 2006 and a partner at Cornish Harder Niederle LLP since 2011, Dave brings nearly two decades of experience to his work with a large and diverse client base across a wide range of industries. His practice focuses on compilation, assurance, audit, tax planning, and business advisory services, providing clients with the technical expertise and trusted guidance they rely on.
Known for his approachable style and genuine relationships, Dave takes pride in the fact that many of his clients see him as part of the family — not just their accountant.
Outside of work, Dave enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids, whether relaxing at the lake or travelling together. He’s also committed to giving back to the community, having volunteered with organizations such as the Rotary Club, Red Deer Minor Hockey, Ronald McDonald House in Red Deer, and the Autism Society of Alberta.
When he has a bit of free time, you’ll likely find him cheering on the Edmonton Oilers, playing hockey, or out on the golf course.
