Stop running your corp
in the dark.
Most incorporated professionals do not know how much corporate cash is truly available to use. They draw what feels safe, set aside what seems sufficient, and hope year-end works out. FAS combines accounting, tax planning, and ongoing advisory so you can make those decisions with clarity.

Why We Built FAS
I built FAS because I watched too many incorporated professionals get clerical service when they needed a strategic relationship.
Most accountants focus on compliance. I wanted to build something different — a CPA-led team that specializes in solopreneurs. Every client gets matched with one advisor who owns their file. That advisor is backed by systems and expertise I've built over 15+ years.
Every FAS client is supported by one accountable, CPA-led team that understands the history of their corporation and the decisions ahead.

Why us, why this
We've been you.
That's the whole point.
We understand what happens when your time produces the revenue and every administrative task competes with client work or family time.
We have sat on your side of the desk, so we know the stage you are in — from your first invoice to your estate plan, and every quietly stressful decision in between.
We only work with solopreneurs. Not large companies. Not anyone whose accounting is someone else's full-time job. We said no to that so we could say yes to you.
Starting out
First invoice, first T1, deciding whether to incorporate into a professional corporation.
Building
Growing your book of clients, hiring your first assistant, figuring out quarterly instalments.
Established
Compensation mix, tax-efficient savings, building reserves inside the corp.
Scaling back
Winding down to the work you love, income-splitting options, what to do with retained earnings.
Transition & estate
Selling your book or practice, succession, estate planning, winding down the PC.
Who we mean
solopreneur /ˌsō-lō-prə-ˈnər/
An independent professional whose expertise drives the business, whether they work alone or lead a small team.
A professional who runs a business built on their own time and has almost none of it left for themselves.
Doctors. Lawyers. Consultants. Agents. Therapists. Designers. Whether you're operating through a professional corporation or as an independent practitioner — if your revenue is tied to your hours, you're the client we built FAS for.
Professional service
You deliver expertise — not products or inventory. Your business is your craft.
Time is the asset
Every billable hour you spend on bookkeeping is a billable hour lost to clients — or to your family.
It's you, maybe a few
You, perhaps an assistant, perhaps a small team. You wear every hat — and you're tired of the accounting one.
Who we work with
Who FAS is built for.

Doctors & Dentists
Corporate compensation planning, retained earnings strategy, and long-term preparation for a practice sale or transition.
Therapists & Allied Health
We assess whether incorporation makes sense based on income, personal cash needs, administrative costs, and long-term plans.
Consultants
You bill in days. Your accountant should think in years. Lifecycle planning, not just filing.
Realtors

Designers, Photographers & Creatives

Need to incorporate? We work alongside your lawyer to help ensure the accounting and tax setup supports the structure from day one.
From first-year decisions to a well-planned exit
Your financial priorities change as your business evolves. We help you make the right decisions at every stage, without losing sight of where the corporation is ultimately taking you.
The Six Patterns We Watch For
No matter which stage your business is in, these blind spots can surface anytime. We're vigilant about all six, year-round.
Sales Tax Drift
Your GST, HST, or QST obligations build gradually in the background without a corresponding reserve strategy. By Q4, a surprise bill appears. You thought you had cash. You don't.
Draw Creep
January you take $7K. February $8K. By June you're taking $10K. You're not tracking it. Your corp can only sustain $8K/month. By year-end, the withdrawals can create a tax bill or shareholder balance no one planned for. We show you the pattern before it costs you.
Cash Fog
Your books say you're profitable, but you can't see where the money actually went. You think you have $50K. You actually have $28K. You don't realize the difference until you need it.
Reserve Mirage
You leave cash sitting idle earning nothing, or assume it's free and clear when it actually belongs to taxes, insurance, or slower periods. Most solos don't know the difference until they need it.
Phantom Runway
Your cash balance suggests stability, but hidden obligations (tax, payroll, operating costs) are shorter than you think. You feel sustainable. You're not. We help you see the real runway.
Year-End Shock
Your current financial patterns suggest elevated risk of an unexpected tax burden at year-end, or worse, on a transition or sale. We catch it before it catches you.
We've been down this road with hundreds of solos. We know where it breaks. That's why we're always one step ahead.
How financially organized is your corporation, really?
A 4-minute diagnostic for incorporated professionals and owner-led service businesses. Find out where your corporation is exposed — and what to discuss with an advisor before year-end.
Built for incorporated professionals and owner-led service businesses earning $250,000 or more.
Your corporate bank balance is not the same number as the cash you can safely use. Tax, reserves, and upcoming obligations sit inside it, invisible, until something forces the question.
This diagnostic is built for that gap. In about four minutes, it identifies the specific patterns showing up in your corporation right now — patterns most accountants only catch at year-end, when it's too late to fix them.
Why FAS
What we're not.
FAS was built specifically against the way most CPA firms serve incorporated solos. The differences are deliberate.
Traditional year-end accounting
- Bills hourly, with the invoice arriving after the work.
- Engages mainly at year-end.
- Rotating preparers, so you re-explain your file every year.
- Files your return.
- Quotes based on revenue size.
- Serves every business type the same way.
FAS
- Predictable monthly pricing.
- Year-round planning touchpoints.
- One accountable, CPA-led team that knows your file.
- Builds your financial roadmap.
- Scope based on actual complexity.
- Specialization in incorporated solopreneurs.
If any of these distinctions matter to you, you're probably the right fit.
What you actually get
Not features.
Outcomes.
Clarity, not guessing
Ongoing reporting helps distinguish available cash from amounts required for taxes, operations, and future commitments.
Compensation optimization
We model salary, dividends, shareholder withdrawals, and personal cash requirements together so compensation decisions are deliberate rather than reactive.
Risk prevention
We catch the 6 patterns most accountants only find at year-end, when it's too late. By then, they've cost you money.
Lifecycle planning
From early corporate decisions to a well-planned exit. Most solos never think about transition until it's urgent. We help you plan it before panic.
How it works
No surprises.
Just clarity.
We work with incorporated professionals earning $250K–$2M. Your monthly retainer is based on the complexity of your corporation and the support you need. We confirm the scope and fee after understanding your accounting, tax, and advisory requirements.
It is a predictable monthly retainer customized to scope and complexity — not a single flat fee every client pays, and not a tier you are forced into.
No long-term contract. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
