Who We Serve

Built for Ottawa-Gatineau Trade Contractors

We don't serve everyone. We work with incorporated trade contractors - where job costing, holdbacks, WSIB and HST on labour vs. materials make the books complex, and generalist bookkeepers consistently miss the mark. In English or French.

Mechanical: HVAC & Plumbing

Service calls and install projects in the same books, parts and equipment margins, technician payroll and WSIB, and HST handled correctly on every invoice. We know what a mechanical contractor's month actually looks like.

HVACPlumbingRefrigerationGas FittingSheet Metal

Electrical

Job costing by project, progress billing and holdbacks, apprentice and journeyperson payroll, and a clear view of which jobs actually made money - not just which ones kept you busy.

Residential ElectricalCommercial ElectricalLow VoltageSolar & EV Chargers

Roofing, Excavation & Site Work

Seasonal cash flow, heavy equipment financing and depreciation, subcontractor tracking, and Construction Act holdbacks. Books that keep up when the crew is running five jobs at once.

What We Do

Six Services. One Financial Partner.

From clean monthly books to CFO-level strategy - everything your business needs to grow with clarity and confidence.

01

Bookkeeping & Month-End Close

Every transaction reconciled. General ledger maintained. Clean financial packages delivered monthly so you always know exactly where you stand.

Core Service

We handle everything from daily transaction recording to comprehensive month-end reconciliation. Our team ensures your general ledger is accurate, your bank statements are reconciled, and your financial statements are ready for review. You'll receive detailed monthly packages including income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports - all organized, accurate, and delivered on time. Built for contractors juggling multiple jobs, crews and suppliers at once.

02

Tax Planning & CRA Compliance

GST/HST filings, corporate and personal returns, and proactive tax structuring. No missed deadlines, no surprise penalties, no overpaying.

CRA Specialists

Stay compliant and minimize your tax burden with our comprehensive tax services. We manage all GST/HST filings, prepare corporate and personal tax returns, and provide year-round tax planning strategies tailored to incorporated trade contractors. Our proactive approach identifies deductions, credits, and tax-saving opportunities before year-end. We coordinate with your accountant and ensure you're structured optimally - whether you're a sole proprietor, partnership, or corporation.

03

CFO Advisory

On-demand CFO expertise without the full-time cost. Rolling forecasts, KPI dashboards, and board-ready reports that turn data into decisions.

Strategic

Get C-suite financial guidance without the six-figure salary. Our fractional CFO services provide strategic financial planning, rolling 12-month forecasts, and custom KPI dashboards that track what matters most to your business. We help you make data-driven decisions about expansion, hiring, equipment purchases, and financing. Perfect for growing companies that need sophisticated financial analysis but aren't ready for a full-time CFO. Includes monthly strategy calls and board-ready financial presentations.

04

Virtual Financial Controller

Proactive financial oversight, monthly performance reviews, and strategic reporting - your dedicated financial controller, virtually.

Oversight

Think of us as your in-house controller, working remotely. We provide ongoing financial oversight, monitor your business health, and catch issues before they become problems. Monthly performance reviews compare actuals to budget, analyze trends, and identify opportunities. We manage your accounting processes, oversee your bookkeeping team (if you have one), ensure internal controls are working, and provide management reporting that helps you run your business better. Ideal for established businesses that need senior-level financial oversight.

05

Startup & New Business Services

Clean, scalable bookkeeping, cash-flow forecasting, and incorporation setup tailored for early-stage companies ready to grow right.

Early Stage

Start your business on the right financial foundation. We help new businesses with incorporation setup, business number registration, accounting system selection and setup (QuickBooks, Xero, etc.), and establishing bookkeeping processes that scale. Our startup packages include cash flow forecasting, break-even analysis, and financial modeling to help you understand your runway and make informed decisions. Ideal for tradespeople going out on their own or incorporating for the first time.

06

Advisor Liaison

We bridge the gap between you and your lawyers, accountants, and investors - translating numbers into language every stakeholder understands.

Connections

Your financial information needs to flow seamlessly between all your advisors. We coordinate with your tax accountant, lawyer, banker, and other professionals to ensure everyone has what they need, when they need it. Year-end packages for your accountant? Done. Financial statements for your bank loan? Ready. Documentation for your lawyer or investor? Organized and delivered. We speak the language of all your stakeholders and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Think of us as your financial quarterback, coordinating your entire advisory team.
