The Beat Spring 2020 Volume 5, Issue1

You can see how this can be
helpful for cash flow, for deciding
where to open your next branch,
and for juggling just-in-time
inventory needs.
The Bookkeeping Bureau started
out 20 years ago when CEO and
Founder Eric Sicotte – a born and
bred Orléans resident – started
the firm from his home office. The
company expanded considerably
over time to two locations.
Then, more recently, the teams
consolidated under one roof on
St-Joseph Boulevard.
Company culture is important
to the Bookkeeping Bureau.
They seek to employ team
members who are as focused
on thinking and analyzing as
they are on performing their
work. That is to say, the team
is encouraged to find ways to
help clients by providing timely
advice and commentary in their
financial management reporting
packages– which could save
a lot of money and/or bring in
new streams of revenue for their
clients – and that’s as important
as reconciling bank accounts and
printing out a P&L statement.
With more than 20 staff
members, Todd, with his
background as an entrepreneur,
plays an important role in human
resources and building company
culture. With artwork on the
wall by Ottawa artist, Julian
Garner from Five Cents Tattoo,
a café-like atmosphere in the
large, roomy, and fully-equipped
kitchen (no eating at your desk!),
and a serious vibe of fun, the
Bookkeeping Bureau is an
awesome place to work.
Many of the Bookkeeping
Bureau’s clients leverage their
Advisory and Virtual CFO services
and CFO Michael McMahon
brings years of experience in
that sector along with bona
fides as a Certified Management
Accountant (CMA) and Chartered
Professional Accountant (CPA)
and, of course, there are his
Newfoundland roots – always a
welcome addition to the team and
culture.
So, if you are looking for a firm
that goes beyond the “bean
counters” role and brings true
value to the table, check out the
Bookkeeping Bureau for their
modern approach, advisory
services, and value-added
mindset. You’ll be glad you did.
