WHO WE SERVE
EVERYTHING YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS TO GROW, IN ONE PLACE
Through every stage of growing a business — from incorporation, to your first hire, to bringing on investors and beyond — feeling knowledgeable & confident in the financial state of your business is critical.
But the reality is: While large firms may be well-known, you often end up feeling like a number, struggling to find the personalized support & advice you need. Whereas at smaller firms, you typically get better support — but they may be lacking in the expertise & resources you need to grow.
At Guindi, our diverse team of experts bridges that gap. We’re ready to dive into any challenge with you — helping you manage cashflow with accurate & timely bookkeeping, giving you real-time visibility into how the business is performing, assisting with expense deductions, closing out the year, and so on.
It takes a village — and with Guindi, you’ve got that entire village under one roof.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY MEETS OLD-SCHOOL RELATIONSHIPS
We’ve assembled a best-in-class tech stack, so you don’t have to. When you work with us, you get access to the most modern, easy-to-use technology in the accounting business — because you shouldn’t have to choose between personalized solutions and modern ones.
YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, WE’VE GOT ANSWERS.
-
This is, intentionally, a broad category — because it’s more of a mindset than anything else. We like working with owner-managers who have a growth mindset and are extremely driven and looking to either grow the business. We’re entrepreneurs at heart, and it’s very rewarding (and fun!) to be ‘close to the trenches,’ so to speak — helping businesses make big strategic decisions like scaling & hiring while also helping them solve problems in real-time (cashflow, margins, sales decline, etc.).
-
Businesses who are incorporated or planning to incorporate (we don’t typically work with self-employed individuals).
Businesses with annual revenue between $250K - $5M.
Businesses based anywhere in Canada — our office is in Montreal but we have clients in Ontario, Alberta, BC, etc.
Philosophically speaking:Anyone looking for a long-term relationship with their accountant as opposed to one that’s just transactional or ‘one off.’
Anyone who is open to innovating and changing their workflow in pursuit of making things smoother and more efficient. The clients we help the most are the ones who work alongside us.
-
We have a broad range of experience — from working with several service-based businesses (e.g. legal, marketing, branding, IT consulting) to real estate, ecommerce, retail and technology companies.

First, we’ll reach out to learn more about your situation and get to know each other a little bit. Through that conversation, we’re going to ask a bunch of questions about your business goals, your personal goals, what keeps you up at night, etc. We’re in it for the long-haul, so it’s important that we like each other.
From there, if it’s a good fit, we send over a proposal — and if you accept, we’ll move into the onboarding phase. This is where you’ll meet the specific team that will be assisting you moving forward.
