If you need more than just bookkeeping and want real financial clarity in your business, I help companies clean up their accounting, improve financial reporting, and make better financial decisions.
I am a Canadian CPA and Top Rated freelancer on Upwork with more than 15 years of experience across accounting, financial reporting, financial analysis, and financial strategy. My background includes senior finance roles at organizations such as PwC and Honda, as well as serving as Head of Finance at a large professional services firm. I work with business owners, startups, and growing companies that need strong financial insight and structured financial management.
Many businesses reach a stage where bookkeeping alone is not enough. They need reliable financial reporting, financial analysis, and strategic guidance on growth decisions. That is where I add value.
I regularly help businesses with:
• Financial reporting and performance analysis
• Accounting system improvement and financial controls
• Budgeting and financial forecasting
• Financial modeling and investment analysis

Common engagements also include QuickBooks Online cleanup, bookkeeping oversight, financial statement preparation, financial analysis, and corporate tax planning.

• Statements of financial position
• Cash flow statements
• Statements of retained earnings
• Financial statement notes
I have worked extensively with accounting frameworks including IFRS, US GAAP, Canadian GAAP, and ASPE, and regularly assist companies with accounting structure, reporting processes, financial controls, and audit preparation.
Financial modeling and analysis:
I also build financial models, forecasting tools, and management dashboards in Excel that help leadership teams understand business performance, evaluate opportunities, and make strategic decisions.
I have developed a wide range of financial models including:
• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models
• Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) models
• Leveraged Buyout (LBO) models
• Comparable Company Analysis (CCA) models
• IPO valuation models
• Consolidation and forecasting models
• Budgeting and long-term financial planning models
Tax advisory:
I also advise businesses on corporate tax matters, helping owners structure their finances efficiently and ensure their accounting and tax reporting are aligned. I regularly assist with corporate tax filings, financial reporting alignment, and GST/HST compliance.
Tools and systems:
I have extensive experience working with both enterprise and small business financial systems including:
