About KMSS

Welcome to KMSS!

Over twenty-nine years ago, our four founding partners, Bruce Kenway, Ray Mack, Barry Slusarchuk and Cal Stewart believed they had the right balance of skills to build an organization that was more than just a typical accounting fi rm. Their vision of a fi rm that provided a comprehensive range of accounting, tax, and business advisory skills became what is known today as Kenway Mack Slusarchuk Stewart LLP (“KMSS”). We are a mid-sized public accounting fi rm and one of the largest independent CA fi rms in Western Canada.

Since 1986, KMSS has grown into a successful organization consisting of 14 partners and 70+ team members with offi ces in Calgary and Canmore. KMSS provides exceptional service to a diverse clientele ranging from owner-managed businesses to public companies, and from simple to complex engagements.

Our major focus over the years has been owner-managed organizations, and we are passionate about helping them build successful businesses. We work hard to serve our clients, and we hire people who will care about their businesses, and provide them with quality service.

Today we are proud to say our partners and team members remain focused and committed to our vision:

To Be a Premier Full-Service Solutions Provider.

Serving Entrepreneurs, and Small and Mid-Sized Enterprises in Calgary and the Bow Valley Corridor.
