Our Story
We Didn’t Set Out to Be Just Another Accounting Firm
There’s nothing exciting about balance sheets and reconciliations—unless they help you sleep better at night, hire that next employee, or finally take a long weekend without worrying about your accounts.
That’s why we started Tangent.
We saw too many small businesses flying blind, reacting instead of planning, and settling for outdated advice from people who’d never actually run a business. So we decided to build something different—a modern financial partner that works like part of your team, not just someone who pops up at tax time.
How We Got Here
(And We’re Just Getting Started)
Tangent Is Born
While working with several Canadian financial institutions, our founder had an idea; how to make small and medium businesses take hold of their business and skip the hassle of doing financial services. You know all the boring work. The idea developed and is going strong helping small-to-medium businesses in multiple sectors manage all their financial aspects.
