Why is it so important for businesses to hire a great accountant?
I would say that working with a great professional is important but even more with someone who not only understand you and your reality but who is also able to speak your language, communicate daily, adjust to your needs and participate actively in your project by getting you to keep your eyes on the big picture: running a profitable business.
Savvy business owners know the importance of recording their daily business transactions accurately and in a timely manner. If you are a small business owner, the job of record keeping likely falls on your to-do list. Sometimes the day-to-day priorities of operating your business leave you with little or no time to complete the recording and you push it aside to be completed later. Before you know it, the stacks of receipts, invoices, and bills are overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable and now tax preparation season is right around the corner.
As well understanding the financial health of their business is crucial however, few owners know how to interpret the data provided in the financial reports generated by their accounting software. Consolidated data reported from the day-to-day activities provides insight into the company’s fiscal wellness. The data tells a story of what is working or not working within your organization if you know how to interpret the information provided.
Working with a professional that knows and understand your reality, your daily challenges is key because by being proactive at bringing enhanced solutions adapted to your needs and assisting you understand the analytics of financial statements will provide you the insights you need to make sound decisions for your business.
What do you love most about your job?
We help small business owners achieve their goal without having them compromising on their lifestyle.
By using cloud based platform and technology we are able to bring to small business owners perspectives and tools that they would have not been able to use few years ago because of how costly it was before the technology evolved. Most of our clients didn’t knew that small business owners have access to apps, tools, an online integrated systems for a fraction of the price, that allow them to dragstically improve their most important admin processes, reduce their costs, and cut back on many managerial tasks keeping them away from their family either on week day evenings and/or weekend mornings.
Now, because they opened up their mind on working differently, they can use more time with family and enjoy their life or re-invest it in core profitable business activities. We give them options. This is what we love the most about what we do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I (Rosemine) became pregnant of my daughter, it was obvious to me that I didn’t want to go back in the corporate world once my pregnancy leave would be over. I still wanted to support financially our household.
Shortly after, I decided that serving small business owners, mostly from home, would be an ideal situation, as it would still allow me to raise my daughter at the same time.
Since then, my spouse Hugo came on board and we are now taking this business to an elite level. Hugo has over 20 years of customer services & marketing. He is extremely knowledgeable and adapts quickly to any kind of systems.
We are very complementary and make a terrific team.
Why should our clients choose you?
We believe that success starts by helping others and we take pride in what we do. We do it with the highest level of ethics, integrity and devotion.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
