“Darren is great to work with. I bought-out my business partner a year and a half ago, and the switch to working with Darren has been seamless. He’s quick to answer all of my questions, and he’ll help me problem-solve when issues arise.

I don’t have prior accounting or bookkeeping experience, so I appreciate that Darren has not made me feel silly for asking questions that are probably pretty obvious to someone with experience in this environment. Darren is thorough, attentive, and I feel at ease in working with him.” — Caroline Fisher, Big Sky Run Co.

​

"When I brought Darren in back in 2023, my books were a mess and I was way over capacity. He reviewed everything, got us caught up and reconciled, and now handles our GST, PST and payroll filings and deals
with CRA for us.

 

I don't have to be the only one who can take care of this stuff anymore, so I can actually run my business. Highly
recommend." -- Cory Beal, Floodway Print Co.

What I Deliver

Decision-Grade Reports

Accurate, consistent financial statements you can actually trust every single month.

90-Day Cash Forecasting

Rolling visibility into your cash position so hiring, pricing, and equipment decisions happen without surprises.

Finance Co-Pilot Guidance

Strategic monthly alignment to turn your numbers into clear operational next steps - not just tax reports.

Most businesses don't have a numbers problem.

They have an infrastructure problem. When processes rely on memory and reports are delayed, you’re running your company in the dark.

  • Inconsistent Coding: Transactions miscategorized, distorting real profitability.

  • Lack of Controls: Operations depend on memory rather than scalable financial systems.

  • Delayed Reports: Month-end is a scramble, leaving you with stale data.

  • Cash Flow Surprises: Revenue looks strong, yet cash feels tight because no one is forecasting.

Built for Owner-Operators Ready for Clarity

Designed for $500K–$10M businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping, but aren't ready for a $200K+ full-time CFO.

Ideal Fit:

Revenue: $500K–$10M annual revenue

Operations: Hands-on owner with a small team

Tech Stack: Uses (or open to) QBO & cloud tech

Goal: Tired of tax-time reports; wants monthly clarity

Not a Fit

Tax-Only: Looking for the cheapest year-end compliance filing

Status Quo: Unwilling to tighten coding rules or approvals

Surface Level: Wanting numbers to "look better" instead of fixing accuracy

Ad-Hoc Requests: Wanting reactive, on-demand quick fixes rather than structured financial controls

  • Project-based services (contractors, engineering, architecture)

  • Job shops / light manufacturing

  • Professional services with small teams and lumpy cash flow

  • Owner-operated businesses with recurring revenue but messy operations behind the scenes
