Who We Work With
Clear Point serves incorporated Ontario businesses that have outgrown a basic bookkeeper but aren't ready — or don't need — a full-time controller or CFO.
Owner-Operated Corporations
CCPCs where the owner wears every hat — needing clean year-end financials, a T2 filed on time, and someone to talk to about salary versus dividend planning.
Growing Businesses
Businesses scaling past $500K in revenue where financial complexity is outpacing the owner's bandwidth and a part-time controller would change how decisions get made.
Professional Services Firms
Consultants, agencies, and service businesses that need clean books, proper reporting, and a CPA who understands the economics of a service business specifically.
Why Clear Point Exists
Ontario small businesses face a financial support gap that rarely gets named directly. A full-time controller costs $90,000–$130,000 a year in salary alone. For most businesses under $5 million in revenue that's not a realistic line item — which means the financial oversight work either doesn't get done, gets delegated to someone unqualified, or gets absorbed by an owner who is already stretched thin.
The result is business owners making pricing decisions, hiring decisions, and growth decisions without reliable financial information. Cash flow surprises that could have been anticipated. Tax bills that arrive unexpectedly because nobody modelled owner compensation properly. Year-ends that drag on for months because the books were never quite organized.
"The best business decisions come from owners who understand their numbers — not owners who hope their accountant will tell them if something goes wrong."
Clear Point was built to close that gap — senior CPA expertise delivered at a price point that actually makes sense for a growing small business. Learn more about our approach →
The year-end that takes forever
Six months after fiscal year-end and the T2 still isn't filed. The books weren't clean, the accountant is backlogged, and CRA is starting to send notices.
The salary vs. dividend question
Every incorporated business owner should be optimizing their compensation mix annually. Most aren't — because nobody is doing the modelling proactively.
The cash flow surprise
Revenue looks fine but the bank account doesn't. A cash flow forecast would have shown this coming — but it was never built because there was no controller to build it.
The bookkeeper with no oversight
A bookkeeper processes transactions. A controller reviews their work, catches errors, and ensures the financial picture is accurate. Without oversight, small errors compound.
The growth decision made blind
Hiring a new employee, signing a lease, taking on a large contract — all decisions that require reliable financial modelling most small businesses don't have access to.

Common Questions
How is a flat-fee year-end different from hourly billing?
With hourly billing you don't know what you'll pay until the invoice arrives. With a flat fee the price is agreed upfront in writing — you know exactly what you're paying before work begins. No surprises.
When should my business get a part-time controller?
Most businesses benefit from controller support when revenue exceeds $500K, when the owner is spending meaningful time on financial tasks, or when decisions are being made without reliable financial information. If you've ever been surprised by a cash flow problem, it's time.
Do you replace our bookkeeper?
No — a controller works alongside your bookkeeper. The bookkeeper handles day-to-day transaction processing. The controller reviews their work, ensures accuracy, and provides the higher-level financial oversight and reporting that a bookkeeper isn't trained to do.
What's your T2 filing turnaround time?
For clean files with organized bookkeeping, typically 3 to 6 weeks from when we receive all required information. Turnaround is discussed and agreed at the start of each engagement.
Can you help with CRA correspondence and audits?
Yes — CRA correspondence support is included in all year-end engagements and controller retainers. If CRA initiates an audit we handle the communication and documentation directly.
My books are a mess — can you still help?
Yes. Books cleanup is scoped as part of the onboarding or year-end engagement with a fixed fee quoted upfront. We'll give you a clear picture of what it costs to get organized before we start.
Do you work remotely across Ontario?
Yes — all services are delivered remotely. We work with businesses across Ontario. Everything is handled digitally so geography is never a barrier.
Can we start with just a year-end and add controller later?
Absolutely. Many clients start with a year-end engagement and add controller support as the relationship develops. There's no pressure to commit to more than you need right now.
