Bill Gannon, CMA, obtained his designation as a Certified Management Accountant in 1972.

After working as a Project Accountant at the Kettle Rapids Dam site in Gillam Manitoba, he was transferred to Vancouver, British Columbia as Branch Accountant for Comstock International Inc., an electrical contractor.

He joined Daon Development Corporation in 1974 where he was the Chief Accountant while sales grew from $80 million to $450 million in 3 years.  He was responsible for converting their accounting system from bookkeeping machines to an IBM 360 mainframe computer, and he prepared Daon's first electronic forecasting spreadsheet in 1976.

He left Daon a year later to start his public accounting practice, providing comtrollership, management consulting, taxation and computer expertise to small and medium sized businesses.

He was Treasurer of the Greenpeace Foundation in Vancouver from 1976 to 1979 when he helped establish Greenpeace International in Amsterdam.

He is active with his accounting practice while at the same time very concerned about the progress of the Enbridge pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. because of the damage it will cause to the beautiful inland coastal waters of British Columbia. More recently, he became aware of the shipments of Alberta crude oil through Burrard Inlet in Vancouver to the Pacific Ocean, endangeriung Stanley Park, English Bay and the "protected" Gulf Islands.
