Transform your business by prioritizing profit and unlocking its full potential.
Our mission is to support entrepreneurs and small business owners in expanding their ventures, all while maintaining profitability. Conventional bookkeeping services tend to focus on transactions - maintaining records, filing taxes, and so on. They'll handle the numbers, and you'll pay for their services. But what about boosting your profit? That's where our firm steps in.
Of course, we excel in bookkeeping - that's a given. However, our unique edge lies in our ability to fuel your business's profitability.
As certified Profit First professionals with hands-on experience in elevating profits for numerous businesses, we possess the expertise and global network of profit specialists to drive your venture towards unprecedented profitability. We're eager to begin this journey with you, starting today.

Michael has completely changed the way my business operates. Since working with him, it's the first time I have had someone take care of my books and make me feel like they actually care about contributing to my success.
Michael feels like a part of my team that I can very much rely on. The way he genuinely cares about small business in Calgary makes a world of difference too. I highly recommend him to everyone.

We used Michael’s services for a couple months to fill a temporary gap in our accounting department. Michael was easy to work with, quickly got up to speed with the company’s accounting procedures, was responsive and helpful with any questions we had, provided many useful tips on how to use QuickBooks Online, and was very helpful with preparing and submitting tax filings. We highly recommend him to anyone seeking bookkeeping assistance for their organization or business. Thanks again, Michael!

Virtual Financial Management
Every business owner hates bookkeeping and paperwork. Unfortunately, it has to be done. And it has to be done in a prescribed format… otherwise the tax man will be on your back. So why not let us take away all that hassle so you can spend your time with the people you love, doing the things you love.
Upfront Consulting will ensure that your business files all necessary documents accurately, and on time at the right institution. We like doing monthly reviews and updating old accounting systems and we’ll go through your books looking for discrepancies. Keeping your firm’s financial books accurate and up to date offers real time insights into operations so administrators can catch financial wrinkles before they escalate into more serious earthquakes.
Payroll
Letting us deal with your payroll takes away the headaches and frees up your time to focus on running your business. You can sleep at night knowing you are complying with current legislation and that your payroll is submitted on time. There is less stress as we take care of the complicated parts and provide real time information to support business decisions.

Cloud Accounting Setup
A cloud accounting system will make your life so much easier. For example, it will save you a significant amount of time, give you 24/7 access to up-to-date financial information and reports you can access from any mobile device, and you can sleep better at night knowing your sensitive financial data is always secure.
