We've worked with over 200 tech startups across Vancouver and beyond. Here's what we've learned: you don't need cookie-cutter accounting packages. You need someone who gets the chaos of rapid growth, venture funding rounds, and keeping the CRA happy while you're trying to change the world.
Igniting Financial Clarity for Tomorrow's Leaders
Look, we get it. Some months you're bootstrapping and counting pennies. Other months you just closed a Series A and need serious financial infrastructure yesterday. That's why our services are modular - grab what makes sense for where you're at right now.
Nobody likes tax season, but it's a lot less painful when you've planned ahead. We help tech companies navigate SR&ED credits (seriously, if you're not claiming these, you're leaving money on the table), structure equity comp properly, and make sure you're not overpaying while staying completely legit with CRA.
Real talk: Last year we helped a SaaS client claim $47K in SR&ED credits they didn't even know they qualified for. That's runway right there.
Best for: Incorporated startups generating revenue, companies with development costs, businesses preparing for investor due diligence
You're not ready for a full-time CFO (and honestly, you probably don't need one yet). But you do need someone who can model your runway, talk to investors, and tell you when you're burning cash too fast. That's where we come in - fractional CFO work that scales with you.
Client story: We helped a Vancouver AI startup extend their runway by 4 months just by restructuring their burn rate and renegotiating some contracts. Sometimes it's not about raising more - it's about being smarter with what you've got.
Best for: Pre-seed to Series A startups, companies preparing for fundraising, founders who need strategic financial guidance
The unglamorous stuff that'll sink you if it's not done right. We handle your books monthly, make sure payroll runs on time, and keep everything organized so you're not scrambling when tax season hits or an investor asks for financials.
Best for: Early-stage startups, companies with 1-50 employees, anyone who's behind on their books and needs to catch up
Sales tax in Canada can be confusing, especially when you're selling SaaS internationally or dealing with different provincial rules. We make sure your HST/GST filings are accurate and on time, so you're not dealing with penalties or interest charges.
Best for: Companies over $30K in revenue, SaaS businesses with complex sales tax situations, exporters
Whether you need clean financials for investors, a bank, or just your own peace of mind, we prepare GAAP-compliant statements that actually make sense. And yes, we can handle Notice to Reader, Review, or full Audit engagements.
Best for: Companies in fundraising mode, businesses applying for loans, investors requiring audited statements
Planning to sell? Getting acquired? Or just curious what your company's worth? We provide formal valuations and help you plan the exit that makes sense for you - whether that's a strategic acquisition, private equity deal, or management buyout.
Example: We worked with a fintech startup through their acquisition by a US company. Structured the deal to minimize tax hit and helped the founders walk away with an extra $200K+ they would've lost without proper planning.
Best for: Companies exploring M&A, founders planning exits in 1-3 years, businesses needing valuations for estate planning or shareholder agreements
"We were drowning in receipts and missed deadlines before Embervynther. Now our books are clean, our taxes are filed early, and I actually understand our cash flow. Plus they caught an SR&ED opportunity we didn't even know existed."

"Their fractional CFO service was a game-changer during our Series A. They helped us model our runway, prep our financials for due diligence, and we closed the round 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Worth every penny."

CEO, CloudSync Technologies
"Not gonna lie, accounting was the last thing I wanted to deal with. These folks made it painless. They speak human, not accountant-ese, and they're always just a Slack message away when I have questions."
