Our Staff

Following graduation from the University of Waterloo, Rob returned home to Perth to work as a staff accountant for a local firm. He wanted to gain further industry experience and so he accepted the role of Chief Financial Officer for a large-scale trucking and logistics company. For 10 years, he gained valuable financial, management and human resources experience.

He then partnered with Richard Murphy at Dyke & Murphy in 2009, and has worked with more than 150 business owners as a business and financial consultant. He adopts a hands-on approach with clients in order to fully understand and deliver on their needs.

Rob’s experience gives him a competitive edge when providing clients with advice, resources and the knowledge required to successfully launch and operate a business. He will sit down with you and review what you’ll need before opening your doors. He’ll help you set up a corporation and CRA accounts as well as develop relationships for loans and financial backing.

Rob also serves as a volunteer Board Member for Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, providing his expertise while gaining up-to-date knowledge regarding grant and loan accessibility for business owners. When he’s not at work, he enjoys golf, karate training with his daughter and spending time on the lake with his family.

Expertise: public and private industry, corporate finance, business consulting, business succession planning, human resources, taxation and business acquisitions and planning.

Millie is the first person you see when you come into the Dyke & Murphy office as she’s been the voice and face of our firm since 1995. Greeting most clients by their first name, Millie’s friendly approach is a client-favourite as she works both as an office administrator and staff accountant. She’s also a member of the Sens army and when she’s not volunteering as a bookkeeper for her Church, she likes to unwind with a good book or head outside for a walk.

Expertise: Bookkeeping, office administration, personal tax returns.
