TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Verecan Capital Management Inc. (Verecan) is pleased to announce that Jim Andrews has joined the firm as Chief Financial Officer of Verecan, effective July 20, 2026, based out of Verecan’s Burlington, Ontario office.

Andrews joins Verecan at a significant stage in the firm’s development, bringing deep financial services experience, strong industry relationships, and a clear mandate to help drive the next phase of growth.

He will play an important role in advancing Verecan’s growth strategy, including acquisitions, advisor relationships, strategic partnerships, and opportunities with independent firms seeking a thoughtful path forward.

Verecan launched in 2023 as a national discretionary portfolio management firm committed to reshaping how financial services are delivered in Canada. In 2025, the firm expanded to provide services to U.S.-based clients and clients with cross-border financial concerns.
