Nicole Pharand is the Chief Administrative Officer for NumbersWise Business Services Inc. Nicole’s primary responsibilities with NumbersWise are to supervise all financial and administrative activities and to ensure that the organization exceeds all client expectations regarding the quality of services delivered.

Nicole has spent her entire 30-year career in administrative roles in the financial and technology sectors. She began her career in Customer Service for CIBC, one of Canada’s largest banks, where she assisted businesses with various banking responsibilities. In 1994, she moved to BMO Nesbitt Burns, the Bank of Montreal’s investment management division, where she held various senior positions in Administrative Management and Compliance.

In 2004, she transitioned from banking into technology, becoming the Manager of Administrative Services for e-ternity Business Continuity Consultants, an IT services company based in Mississauga, Ontario Canada, that specialized in cloud-based disaster recovery services. Her responsibilities involved managing the entire administration department, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, HR, bookkeeping, purchasing, invoicing, and event management. In 2013, e-ternity was acquired by j2 Global Inc., an $800 million cloud services company based in Hollywood California, and Nicole flawlessly managed the entire acquisition and integration process from an administrative perspective. In 2015, she saw an opportunity to provide the same stability and organizational structure that she delivered for e-ternity to other IT service providers, and NumbersWise was founded.

Nicole is a certified bookkeeper with the Institute of Professional Bookkeepers of Canada, she is a certified ProAdvisor for QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online, and is a certified ConnectWise Administrator.

Outside of her career, Nicole has an active family life. She enjoys cheering for her kids in their various sporting and extracurricular activities. Nicole has a great time taking pictures of her lovable dogs Jake and Teddy while hanging out in the garden at her Halton Hills, Ontario home and at her Muskoka cottage. She also likes to share a glass of wine and some laughs with her good friends.
