About Naomi
I am a Chartered Professional Accountant with a Masters in Accounting. I’ve worked in the Kootenays since 2017 and I’ve lived here forever, helping small business owners in many industries and situations.
I have a knack for the human side of entrepreneurship, helping individual business owners solve complex and diverse problems in ways that feel right to them.
Without a clear definition of success on our own terms, many individuals and small businesses assume that profits are the only acceptable measure of success. I not only do your taxes, but I help you customize specific success plans that align with your core values.
I believe in shifting the focus of business away from profit and growth to people and planet-centred models of success. In my vision, good businesses act with integrity to help create a happier, healthier world. They are sustainable in every sense of the word. We can do this through sound accounting and thoughtful business strategy, which I love doing with my clients.
In that way, I’m much more than an accountant. I help you design your business to work for your life, not the other way around.
Without a clear definition of success on our own terms, many small business owners and entrepreneurs assume that profits are the only acceptable measure of success.
I help you customize specific success plans that align with your core values.
If you are motivated by more than profit, I will help you achieve success – on your terms.
My philosophy.
To become our own bosses is to take back our time and with it, our agency.
We live in a system geared to exploit many, for the profit of few.
But security is not money in the bank, it is a strong community.
Resilience is not independence, it is interdependence.
People should spend their time doing what they are good at and what they love.
For example, I hired someone who is better than me at marketing to make this website! They hire me to do their taxes. We are both doing what we are good at and what we love. But better than that, I know and love the person who made this website - I am paying for someone to live a life they believe in AND I believe in.
As we walk into an uncertain future, we can do so alone and afraid or, we can stand together and support one other to build strong, sustainable, future-proof businesses.
When you hire me to do the accounting for your small business or your personal taxes, you are hiring someone who will support you, your family and your community.
