He has operated Jay Dee Accounting & Tax Services for the past 17 years in Burlington.

The new Caledonia location will be managed byJ.D. who has 12 years experiece with Jay Dee's. J.D. studied Business Administration at Brock University and is a big hockey fan;being on the Burlington Minor Hockey executive and coaching his son's team.

Jay Dee Accounting & Tax Services will be open Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm.
