About

We want to help small businesses in Canada be more successful. We'll cover Canadian taxes, growth strategies and how to build a valuable business. We are accountants by trade, but we are also business owners ourselves and have learned a thing or two by working with hundreds of small businesses across Canada. We also believe that small businesses are the backbone of our communities and deserve a better deal. We want to offer as much useful information as possible so that you can run a business that is not only profitable, but gives you your time back and allows you to support your community. Our videos are all created with this aim. Please let us know if there are any small business videos you would like us to do! We love adding more helpful videos.
