Excellent modern accounting firm to work with. Recommended!

Marie Haynes

Marie Haynes Consulting Inc

Zenbooks has been an important part of the growth of our business. We have grown from a solo consultancy to now having ten people on payroll, thanks to the advice from Colin, Eric, and the Zenbooks team. They take care of accounting, bookkeeping and payroll for us. They have also helped make tax headaches much less of a headache. I’m so happy to have these knowledgeable people to help me in this area! I would highly recommend their services.

I use these guys for the accounting for my small business and couldn’t be happier. I am clueless about taxes and find the topic really stressful, but Colin is always great at simplifying things and handling all the stuff I don’t want to handle myself. Their fees are reasonable, and I love the fact that they have our bookkeeping up-to-date instead of months behind. I’d strongly recommend them if you’re looking for a good accounting firm.

Mark Sutcliffe

Mayor of Ottawa

As a business owner, I'm very impressed with the approach and philosophy that Colin and Eric have embraced with Zenbooks. Their processes and fees are transparent, their use of technology is efﬁcient and effective, and their overall strategy is innovative and leading-edge. They present a compelling solution for business owners who want both straightforward solutions and strategic advice.

The Zenbooks Difference

Integrated Finance Department

We are your fractional finance team.

We Make It Simple

No stress, jargon, or convoluted answers—just hassle-free solutions and actionable insights.

About Us

We realized that mid-market founders were stuck between low-level bookkeepers and overpriced corporate CFOs. Zenbooks was built to be the high-functioning 'engine room' in the middle and be your finance department.

Shaping the Industry

Zenbooks isn’t just another accounting firm; we are the voice setting the standard for the modern Canadian finance department. We are a cited authority in the national business ecosystem, frequently featured for our financial expertise and thought leadership in The Toronto Star, CBC, CTV, BetaKit, and The Canadian Press. From advocating for smarter fiscal policy in Policy Options and The Hill Times to providing regional insights in the Ottawa Business Journal, our team is actively shaping how modern $1M–$10M organizations navigate the complexities of growth. When you partner with us, you aren’t just getting a service provider, you’re gaining an industry leader.
