Why we exist
Small business owners shouldn’t have to become accountants just to understand their own numbers

Why Spark
What we believe
We're dedicated to small businesses, specifically
Not enterprise, not Fortune 500 — small business owners who wear five hats and need a financial partner who gets that.
We keep it personal
25+ clients, not thousands. You'll always know who you're talking to.
We're upfront about cost
No hourly surprises, no hidden fees — you know what you're paying and why.
We explain the numbers, not just report them
A report you can't interpret isn't much use, so we walk you through what changed and why, every month.
Real results
Real results for real businesses
Sandra explained our numbers in a way no one ever had before. I finally understand what's actually happening in my business each month.

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot
A bookkeeper handles day-to-day financial recordkeeping — transactions, reconciliations, statements. A CPA typically handles tax filing and higher-level compliance.
Spark does the bookkeeping and the forward-looking planning. We do not file returns. When it is time to file, we refer you to a CPA we work with and hand over books that are already clean and current.
Each situation is different, but we are good at accommodating clients depending on the level of complexity.
No. We offer catch-up services to get you going and then formulate a strategy.
Flat-rate monthly, never hourly — so you are never penalised for asking a question, or for us getting faster at your books.
Pricing starts at $500 per month and depends on your number of entities, bank accounts and transaction volume.
QuickBooks Online mainly.
Basic reports and numbers don't get you far. It's the insights that can be interpreted from the numbers that make the difference.
