An audit partner with a focus on assurance and business advisory across a diverse range of industries, Mike is the national business leader for RSM Canada’s financial services sector with extensive experience with mid-to-large private and public companies. A graduate of the University of Windsor, Mike is a CPA, CA, having obtained his designation in 2002.

“As a member of IFIC’s Accounting Advisory group, I have been given the opportunity to contribute to public policy discussions and advocate for clients within an increasingly complex regulatory environment,” says Mr. Zenteno. “I am proud to be the newest member of the group and look forward to engaging with other industry leaders and policy makers towards a strong, stable investment sector.”
