Meet Erin
We’re excited to introduce you to Erin, our Finance Manager!
She’s an avid traveller — from hiking up to the base camp of Mount Everest in Nepal to a safari expedition in Tanzania — Erin has done it all!
With her years of experience at Ernst & Young (EY), and her Bachelor of Commerce from Queen’s University, Erin is our resident finance maven, single-handedly running the finance and accounting functions at Altus. On the finance front, she forecasts Altus’ performance, while managing and analyzing our results and budgets. Erin also coordinates Altus’ annual review, maintains accounting records, and crucially, ensures all that reporting requirements to external entities are met. It’s an staggering amount of work, but Erin manages makes it look easy!
Erin shows her caring nature frequently — like when she happily picks up thankless tasks because she sees how it’ll help others and make the company run more smoothly. She also is one of the first people to put her hand up to help others. — Rich Emrich, Chief Executive Officer

Erin is probably the most widely travelled member of the Altus team — she has visited 39 countries! While at EY, she went on a secondment to Australia! While working in the Financial Services group at EY, Erin was transferred to the Melbourne office for 4 months. There, she had a great time learning from her new colleagues and work environment, and of course, she made time to travel to other Australian cities, visiting Sydney, Tasmania, Adelaide, and the seeing the Great Barrier Reef, just to name a few. Take a look at her picture of Australia’s Great Ocean Road and an adorable kangaroo!
Erin has been a wonderful addition to the team! She is always willing to help out, regardless of what is asked of her, and brings a refreshing perspective to our decision making with a financial lens that is sometimes overlooked.
- Darryl Kraemer, Vice President of Sales
Asked to share her most significant trip, Erin told us about her recent experience in Africa. As part of her 10 month sabbatical in 2018, Erin journeyed to East Africa, where she volunteered as an accounting teacher for small businesses in Rwanda and Tanzania. Interestingly, it was this opportunity that helped her get more familiar with the tasks she would soon perform at Altus. In addition to this volunteer stint, a safari in the Serengeti, gorilla trekking in Uganda, and attempting to summit Kilimanjaro were the highlights of her time in Africa.
When she’s not off globe-trotting, Erin keeps busy in Canada. She loves to read, ski, train with her ringette team and play beach volleyball in the summer. Thanks Erin for all that you do at Altus, we really appreciate your hard work!
