Dawson Hittel

Analyst

Dawson is a new graduate with experience in portfolio management and public equity analysis.  He earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from Mount Royal University and is planning to continue pursuing his CFA designation.

His career was kickstarted by joining the Mount Royal Student Investment Fund, where he and other members of the fund managed a portfolio of Canadian equities worth over $250,000.  From there he interned at a boutique investment management firm in Calgary.  Whilst at his internship, he developed a strong work ethic and passion for analyzing a broad range of sectors. 

He is passionate about learning and developing relationships with both coworkers and clients.  Assisting clients to be better serviced or better informed to allow them to do the things that they love is a key motivator for Dawson.

Outside work, Dawson enjoys Golfing and spending time with his friends and family.  He is a passionate football and Formula 1 fan.  On the weekends you will find him testing a new recipe at home, or at a different restaurant with a nice bottle of wine!

    Bob Robinson, President and CEO, Westcor Construction Ltd.

  • "DSM has been in the industry for 20 years in Calgary and more recently opened a facility in Arizona. We engaged Stawowski McGill in 2016 as we were gearing up for growth in our business. Stawowski McGill has provided great financial expertise and has challenged us to look at our business for efficiencies. They have been excellent partners for myself and my executive team and the only thing I regret is signing them up a year after I was first introduced to them." 

    Duane Macauley, President and Co-Founder, Dynamic Source Manufacturing

  • “They helped us get things organized, understand the correct structure, and get visibility. Their reports help us make better decisions. When I talk to my network about SM, I talk about how much they helped our company in the beginning.” 

    Danny Hao, President, Tile and Stone Source

  • “They not only help us with our strategy and the financial aspect, but they help us understand if we have the right team in place to be able to execute.” 

    Shawn Freeman, Always Beyond

  • " In 2014, Contour Earthmoving Ltd. hired Stawowski McGill to help us with our company’s finances and to give us guidance with moving forward in a struggling construction industry. Their guidance has helped us immensely and definitely improved our bottom line. They are very personable and truly care about our company. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need." 

    Kevin Middlemiss, President, Contour Earthmoving Ltd.

  • "Our company has been on a fast growth track for the last 10 years. The opportunities were placing constraints on our resources and we were not getting the insights we needed to build out our growth strategy or see what capital structure challenges we were going to be facing in the year ahead. Stawowski McGill was very flexible and gave us the right amount of resources and time to assist us with the projects, planning and forecasting we needed. The combination of strategy, financial leadership and ability to identify and fill gaps in our business plan have all helped our business achieve success. Our business has gone from consistently growing to now being supercharged on its way to becoming an industry leader."

    Dean Koeller, President, Calvert Home Mortgage Investment Corporation

  • "They gave us the guidelines we needed to focus and work on our business with amazing results. Learning the skills to understand what the numbers mean and how to use them to improve our management system has made a tremendous improvement. Stawowski McGill helped us take our business from "bench warmer" to "player". 

    Tim Mack, Owner, BRT Construction Services Ltd. 

  • "Stawowski McGill worked with our family owned group of companies for over three years. They refocused us onto areas of our growing business which required our attention, and were instrumental in the negotiation and sale of our trucking business. Our return on investment far exceeded their fees." 

    Dean Swanberg, Swanberg Bros. Trucking Ltd.

  • "Stawowski McGill became the cornerstone of our restructuring plan; their insight and expertise provided us valuable advice and helped the leadership team prioritize objectives.  Having Stawowski McGill on our team is like having a full-time CFO and finance team you can rely on to interpret the fundamentals of your business so that you can focus on making decisions, fixing what’s not working and figure out the best growth plan."
