ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Irene! During my time working in public practice, I realized that so many small businesses had so much untapped potential because they were missing a vital component in their business: Company Finances. Many business owners were never taught financial literacy and I realized that there was a need for accounting services with a modernday approach that supported business owners. That is how Sense Accounting CPA was born. We are a cloudbased firm that provides bookkeeping and fractional CFO services for Canadian small businesses. The goal for this channel is to share important accounting and tax information for Canadians.
