Innovative Accounting for the Digital Economy
Look, we've been doing this for years and honestly, working with tech startups and e-commerce folks is where we really shine. You won't find us stuck in old-school methods - we're all about what actually works in today's digital world. Let's dig into how we can help your business grow without the accounting headaches.
We ditched paper ledgers years ago, and honestly, it's been the best decision ever. Everything's in the cloud now - you can check your financials from your phone while grabbing coffee, and we're updating things in real-time.
Here's what you're getting: QuickBooks Online or Xero setup (whichever fits your vibe better), daily transaction tracking, bank reconciliation that actually stays current, and monthly financial statements that make sense. No accounting jargon that'll make your head spin.
The best part? You'll always know where your money's going. We've had clients tell us they sleep better at night just knowing their books are clean and up-to-date. That's worth something, right?
Taxes in the tech world? They're a different beast altogether. SR&ED credits, stock options, SaaS revenue recognition - it's enough to make anyone's head hurt. But we've been navigating this stuff since the early days of the tech boom.
We're not just filing your returns and calling it a day. We're looking at your whole picture - finding deductions you didn't know existed, planning ahead so you're not scrambling in April, and making sure you're taking advantage of every credit available to Canadian tech companies.
One of our SaaS clients saved over $47K last year just from SR&ED credits they would've missed otherwise. That's real money back in your pocket for hiring or product development.
Not ready to hire a full-time CFO? Yeah, we get it - that's a six-figure commitment most startups can't swing yet. But you still need someone who knows their way around financial strategy, fundraising prep, and keeping investors happy.
That's where we come in. We're like having a CFO on speed dial without the hefty salary. Need to prep for a funding round? We'll get your financials investor-ready. Trying to figure out your burn rate and runway? We'll map it out in plain English.
We've helped over 30 startups through funding rounds, and about half of them eventually brought on full-time CFOs - which honestly makes us proud. We're here to bridge that gap until you're ready to scale up.
E-commerce sales tax is an absolute nightmare if you're selling across provinces or into the US. Different rates, different thresholds, nexus rules that change constantly - it's honestly overwhelming.
We've specialized in this stuff because frankly, someone had to. Whether you're on Shopify, Amazon, or running your own platform, we'll make sure you're collecting the right tax and filing correctly. No surprise tax bills down the road.
Got marketplace facilitator rules to worry about? Cross-border sales? Multi-province inventory? We handle all of it. One of our clients was about to get hit with a $23K penalty for incorrect US sales tax - we caught it during our first audit and got it sorted before CRA even noticed.
Payroll's one of those things that seems simple until you actually have to do it. Then suddenly you're dealing with CPP, EI, source deductions, T4s, and a million other things that need to be perfect every single time.
We run payroll for companies ranging from 3 employees to 150+, and yeah, it's detailed work. But we've got it down to a science. Your team gets paid on time, every time. Taxes get remitted correctly. Year-end? Smooth as butter.
We also handle benefits admin if you're offering extended health, dental, or retirement plans. One less thing on your plate, and your team stays happy because everything just works.
Starting a business in Canada? The structure you choose matters way more than most people realize. BC corp vs federal? Holding company structure? Income splitting opportunities? These decisions affect your taxes for years to come.
We walk you through the whole thing - what makes sense for your specific situation, not just cookie-cutter advice. Sometimes a simple BC incorporation is perfect. Other times, a more complex structure saves you thousands annually.
We've incorporated hundreds of companies at this point, and honestly, no two are exactly alike. We look at your goals, your growth plans, and your personal situation to figure out what'll work best. Then we handle all the paperwork and registry filings.
We're not fans of hidden fees or surprise charges. Here's what it'll cost, straight up. Pick what fits your needs and budget - no pressure.
All plans are month-to-month, no long-term contracts. Scale up or down as you need. Corporate tax filing billed separately based on complexity.
B2B Software Platform
This Vancouver-based SaaS company came to us during their Series A prep. Their books were a mess - multiple payment processors, international transactions, and no clear revenue recognition policy.
We cleaned up 18 months of back records, implemented proper accrual accounting, and got their MRR tracking dialed in. When they went into due diligence, investors had zero questions about their financials.
E-commerce Retailer
This outdoor gear shop was crushing it on sales but drowning in tax compliance issues. Selling across Canada, into the US, multiple warehouses - their previous accountant basically gave up.
We set up automated tax calculation through their Shopify store, registered them for sales tax in 4 US states where they had nexus, and streamlined their multi-province filing process.
Mobile App Development
These guys had amazing tech but zero financial structure. They didn't even know if they were profitable half the time. Revenue was lumpy, expenses were all over the place, and they were afraid to hire because they couldn't predict cash flow.
We implemented project-based accounting, set up proper expense tracking by client, and built them a 12-month cash flow model. Also got them $68K back through SR&ED credits they didn't know they qualified for.
Fashion E-commerce
Multi-vendor marketplace that was scaling fast but their accounting couldn't keep up. Commission tracking was manual, vendor payouts were delayed, and they had no idea what their real margins were.
Built custom reporting to track commissions by vendor and product category, automated vendor payout calculations, and set up proper inventory accounting across multiple fulfillment centers.
No need to switch platforms or learn new software. We integrate with pretty much everything.
