Micheal Burch has been welcomed to BKR International as Chief Executive Officer effective March 1.
Micheal has a long history with the association, having been Managing Partner and Chairman of the Executive Committee of BKR’s member firm in Ottawa, Welch LLP. More recently, Micheal established The Evolution Hub, a business providing strategic consultancy to professional services organizations.
Micheal takes over from Tim Morris, who has been BKR’s CEO since 2021 and has overseen the recent rebranding project, setting up BKR International to achieve its core goals and cement a powerful legacy for the firms it represents.
Marycris Oplas, Chair of the Worldwide Board, comments, “We are really excited to have Micheal on board. His combination of deep experience in the accountancy sector alongside his recent strategic focus will be of great value to BKR International. We would like to extend our thanks to Tim Morris, who has steered the association through a period of really positive change, and we look forward to Micheal continuing to drive the association forward.”
Tim Morris comments, “I could not wish to pass BKR on to a safer pair of hands. Micheal knows BKR and its members, and is in an ideal place to further advance BKR. I wish him all the best.”
