Dave Berney, raising a family and starting a business in Toronto

Dave is founder and CFO of HAB Strategy as well as Irish Chartered Accountant Chapter Head here in the city of Toronto.

Originally from the sunny south east, Dave & his wife Mags moved here in early 2018 in pursuit of adventure. Having also travelled to South America, India, South East Asia and Eastern Africa, moving to Toronto actually marked their very first time in North America!

Getting initially settled in and particularly through the challenging time of the pandemic with the arrival of their first child, Dave discusses the importance of the GAA community and the support network it has provided away from home.

Not that he wasn’t already busy enough, Dave established his business in 2022 working with tech startups and agencies to strategically unlock profit potential with additional financial insights and benchmarking and proactively manage cashflow and financing along the way.

Thanks very much to Ernesto and Keshia from Garcia Creative for making all this happen.
