About Me
I obtained my CA/CPA designation in 2005 with PwC. Since then, I’ve worked with small, medium and large businesses, helping them implement financial systems, prepare budgets and forecasts, complete their day-to-day accounting and ensure proper tax compliance.
I currently specialize in small businesses. Whether you have a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation, I can help you get a handle on your taxes, accounting, bookkeeping and financial systems. Let’s talk!
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Accounting and other financial aspects of a small business can be stressful and intimidating, but they don’t have to be. I believe that all entrepreneurs should have a system in place. This will help you take care of financial tasks easily and efficiently, so you can focus on what’s most important: growing your business!
Setting up your system needn’t be costly or complicated. In fact, one of my go-to services is free and simple to use, and I recommend it to many of my clients.
Creating a system will save you time on bookkeeping, expense tracking, preparing financial statements and other routine tasks. It will also give you a clearer view of your finances throughout the year — not just at tax time.
Taxes
I prepare personal and corporate tax returns. If you’re curious about how your taxes are calculated, I’d be happy to walk you through it. If you just want to know the final result, that’s okay, too!
I also help clients resolve issues such as late or incorrectly filed returns, late or incorrect HST payments, tax audits and more. Ignoring tax problems only makes them worse — allow me to help.
Testimonials
“Thank you, Norman, for being so patient with me. I am completely helpless when it comes to accounting, and you treated me with respect and dignity. Great accountants DO exist!”
“As a busy mom of three working a full-time marketing job and running a baking business on the side, I found it overwhelming to manage my bookkeeping. I was shoving receipts into a shoebox, struggling to manage invoices and half-tracking my expenses, so every year I had a big mess to sort through at tax time. Norm set me up on the Wave platform and completely transformed the process. Now I can easily upload receipts, categorize expenses, and track my invoices and cash flow. He’s saved me hours of frustration and allowed me to focus on other priorities. I highly recommend Norm for both his expertise and his ability to break things down in a way that’s easy to understand and implement.”
“I used to hate dealing with my corporate finances, especially taxes. Norman has saved me time and frustration — and helped me stay in the CRA’s good books!”
“As a freelancer who works from home, I have a lot of questions about taxes, expenses, HST and more. Norman is very patient and knowledgeable, and he has put my mind at ease.”
“Norm has been an incredible resource to guide me through my complicated accounting demands. He is a great communicator, he is organized and clear, and he has given me peace of mind knowing that the back end accounting is being completed carefully and correctly - which allows me to focus on my role as a teacher and coach. Our HSP motto is ‘Precision, Purpose, Passion’ and I can say that Norm embodies very similar principles! ”
