Hormbeam Accounting Inc.
Hornbeam is the Canadian CPA firm that actually answers.
We focus on two niches: Canadian real estate operators (LP structures, STR portfolios, multi-province compliance, partnership returns) and Canadian SaaS founders (SR&ED claims, revenue recognition, Stripe reconciliation, investor-ready metrics).
How we work: subscription pricing, CPA access included on every tier, AI-assisted bookkeeping with CPA review, and no hourly billing for client questions. Out-of-scope work is quoted in writing before any work starts.
We serve clients across Ontario, Quebec, BC, and Alberta. Fully remote, fully cloud-based, bilingual (English + French) where needed.
Hornbeam started where most accounting firms don't want to look.
Between us, we've seen what happens when a real estate investor with three properties calls a generic firm, the partnership return gets fumbled. We've seen what happens when a SaaS founder asks about SR&ED, silence, then a six-week delay. We've watched small business owners get charged $400 for emailing a question.
We didn't want to run that kind of firm. So we built one that doesn't.
Hornbeam is built around two niches Canadian CPAs typically underserve: real estate operators, SaaS founders and professionals. Subscription pricing. CPA access included. No hourly billing for client questions. No surprise invoices at year-end. That's the firm we'd want as clients ourselves. So that's the firm we built.
