Hello! I’m Larissa Ricard. I obtained my CPA designation and several years of corporate accounting experience through various roles at a consulting firm, an asset management company, and a bank.

In addition to running Metissia Accounting, I’m a mom of 2 young boys and I love chocolate, football and a great HIIT class. I can often be found working with The Office playing in the background.
