Bookkeeper

Who Are We?

Start-ups and SMEs all share a common challenge: they want to hire the best and brightest finance team for their company to scale and grow, but their needs are fluid and constantly evolving. One day they need an expert in Financial Reporting, the next they need a M&A guru, the next they need a payroll or compliance specialist, the list goes on.

The constraints of capital and the fluidity of needs in a growing business create these classic hiring challenges. Often companies end up settling for a finance “jack of all trades/master of none”. 

At theFinanceStack (tFS), we partner with leading technology companies and other innovative start-ups to provide a full-stack of finance and accounting capabilities. Supported by industry leading CFOs, we provide a breadth of services to Canadian start-ups, including FP&A, accounting, capital raising, and more.
