AF 140: Accountant, 40 Under 40 Winner and Alpha Female Supermom Annik Blanchard

Chartered Professional Accountant by day, Super Mom by night, and
Alpha Female year-round. For more than 17 years, Annik Blanchard
has proudly served not-for-profit organizations, municipalities
and private owner-managed businesses to keep their accounting in
order, and in 2017, she was admitted to the partnership at BDO
Canada LLP. Due to her passion of accounting and auditing, she
currently volunteers as an Audit Committee member for the Ottawa
Carleton District School Board, as a member of the Audit and
Finance Committee for the Girl Guides of Canada and with CPA
Canada’s Financial Literacy program. To top it off, she was
recognized as one of the 2018 Forty Under 40 recipients organized
by the Ottawa Business Journal and Ottawa Chamber of Commerce.


When the clock strikes 5, she returns home to her husband and
tackles her duties as supermom to three kids (aged 12, 11 and 8)
and a furry mom to 3 dogs. When not working or volunteering,
Annik likes to spend time with her family, read (which she
recently started doing again), work out, play board games, listen
to podcasts (The Alpha Female Podcast is one of them!) and go
camping.


The fine balance between all her hobbies and responsibilities
means she emphasizes self-care to ensure sanity is maintained.
Motivating the family to eat well and working out together is one
of her key pillars of self-care.
