Lise Johnston

Lise was brought up in Montreal and attended McGill University, obtaining her degree in Early Childhood Education, where her personal love of reading translated into the opportunity to work with young children and encourage the same passion.

Numbers were calling, so she set her sights on the accounting world, starting in the for-profit sector, obtained her CPA then moved to the non-profit charity sector and never looked back.

Fifteen years as the National Finance Director at the Heart & Stroke Foundation provided a solid base of charity knowledge and an infinite set of growth and efficiency initiatives.

Aside from several other smaller charities Lise has worked with, she turned the page and is bringing together her initial love of reading and accounting acumen to CCLF.
