Alicia Loewen

Before spending a decade working in public tax and corporate finance senior accounting positions, Alicia always dreamed of becoming a math teacher. Deximal allows her to do both.

As a small business owner herself, Alicia understands how tough it is to grow while still finding time to enjoy all the amazing things life has to offer. As a teacher, she loves taking the time to show her clients how the latest accounting software can help make their lives easier. She also runs a small farm operation as her second business that has a 1,600-tree orchard of heritage apple varieties and plans to distill craft-batch hard cider with her husband and business partner, Adam. Alicia and Adam have two young sons who love to help their dad with farm chores.

Katie Caplan, Bookkeeping Manager

Katie joined Deximal in 2019 as the first full-time employee, and quickly became irreplaceable because of her skills in building out workflows and training others.

Before working at Deximal, Katie spent 7 years working in Bookkeeping and Administrative roles, including a stint training government employees how to use new cloud-based software. She now supervises the Bookkeeping Team and handles all new Bookkeeping client Onboarding.

Katie and her partner, Scott, have one young son who might be the world’s biggest Lego fan. She’s seen every episode of FRIENDS several times and has a display of the “Central Perk” scene made of Lego in her office.

Chrissy McGuire, CPA, CGA, Staff Accountant

Chrissy completed her Chartered Professional Accountant designation in 2010 with a specialization in tax while working in a public practice. She then went on to corporate accounting as the Senior Budget Analyst at Servus Credit Union for nearly a decade.

Covid-19 necessitated a family shift, and Chrissy got the opportunity to learn new skills as an Executive Assistant for an Online Consultant. When searching for an online job opportunity in Accounting, she found Deximal, and we are lucky she did! Chrissy brings a unique combination of high-level accounting knowledge and insightful and kind communication skills to her role as Staff Accountant.

Chrissy lives in St Albert with her two young sons. As true Albertans, the whole family is big fans of the Oilers hockey team.

Gurjeet Virk, Bookkeeper & Tax Preparer

Gurjeet joined Deximal in January 2021 originally as a Co-Op Student from the Accounting Diploma program at Camosun College. Turns out, he liked it so much, he asked to stay on permanently after the Co-Op. With fast company growth, there was plenty of room for a new full-time bookkeeper!

Gurjeet has a friendly and easy-going personality and is often the one to come up with a creative solution to a problem. He has been living in Victoria for the last few years as an international student and is now hoping to buy his first apartment.

He enjoys working out at the gym, riding his motorcycle on sunny days, and creating original music tracks with a friend.

Danielle Collyer, Bookkeeper

Danielle comes from a science background and completed a Master’s Degree in Microbiology before a substantial career change.

Family circumstances led Danielle and her husband, Cam (also a science nerd!), to leave bustling Vancouver and relocate to the picturesque oceanside town of Chemainus. This led Danielle to consider a new career that would potentially incorporate the things she loved about science, including tracking data, spreadsheets, and numbers. She found that she was very interested in Bookkeeping and responded to our hiring ad. She has picked up the bookkeeping training remarkably fast and uses her skills in organization and data tracking in her work at Deximal.

Danielle has a clever sense of humour and a very friendly personality, which you’ll find out when she answers the office phone. Danielle spends her free time working on DIY renovation projects in her Chemainus home and she enjoys vegan cooking.

Tristan Camp-Lagueux, Bookkeeper

Tristan became part of the Deximal team in early 2023 with a couple years of Bookkeeping work experience under his belt and having completed a bachelor’s degree in Political Science.

This September, he returns to UBC for a post-baccalaureate diploma in Accounting! The program is designed for students to work full-time while completing their studies, so he will be able to continue working remotely for Deximal while completing his education. We are excited for him to take this important step in his accounting career!

Tristan speaks fluent French and English and grew up competing in triathlons from the age of 6 in the mountains of Colorado. He continues to train for triathalons in BC. He’s not much of a coffee drinker, so we all had a good laugh when he told us about accidentally ingesting too many caffeinated sports gels on a recent race and getting the jitters after. They just had so many flavour options to choose from!
