Meet the Team in 90 seconds – Duncan Bye

Who are you?

In my free time I enjoy the great outdoors. Whether it be cycling through the rolling hills, paddle boarding down an idyllic stretch of river, surfing the (cold) shores of Cornwall/Devon, or hacking about in the woods at ye-old local golf course, if it’s outside, I’m there. Preferably with the family;  Zoe (wife) and our two girls Mila (5) and Indie (3) and not forgetting Mac our gorgeous Golden Retriever. And they say accountants are boring……….

Life motto; ‘Saying hello doesn’t have an ROI, it’s about building relationships’  + ‘Winning is not defined by me, or your parents, or even the market….. it’s defined by you’.

What’s your role at Wilson Partners?

As a passionate director/co-owner of the firm, I see my responsibilities being;

  • Encouraging open and honest discussions within the team and clients alike
  • Truly understanding what makes others tick
  • Being that ‘go-to’ person whatever the issue
  • Getting out the way, to allow others to work their magic
  • Bringing my experience and knowledge to the table in order to help others thrive

My grandparents lived outside of Vancouver for 40 years and we used to visit every year as kids. I love the outdoor lifestyle, with the coast, the mountains and lakes within a stones throw of downtown Vancouver. What’s not to like!?

Cats or Dogs?

Dog, Mac would disown me if I said cats!

One thing that most people don’t know about you

I play guitar, (badly may I add)!

Ask one colleague to describe you

“Great sense of humour, always exceedingly helpful and willing to share knowledge, sets a great example to the whole team in everything he does. Friendliest smile in the business. Has a mild addiction to coffee.” (Paul)

Dunc, we couldn’t agree more. Keep smiling!
