Our Founder
Shankar Krishnan brings 35+ years of experience supporting family-owned and growing businesses through every stage of their financial journey, from day-to-day accounting to high-level cross-border strategy. With a specialization in cross-border accounting and tax compliance across Canada and the United States, he helps business owners navigate complex reporting requirements, multi-jurisdiction filings, and the financial decisions that come with growth. Few advisors combine U.S. CPA, Canadian CPA, and Indian Chartered Accountant credentials with hands-on CFO, tax, financing, and cross-border advisory experience.
Over the years, Shankar has advised companies generating $1M to $100M in revenue, working closely with business owners, leadership teams, and entrepreneurial families who want clear answers and confident direction. He has worked closely with banks, lenders, insurers, customs brokers, and professional advisors to help clients secure financing, improve reporting, manage risk, and support long-term growth.
What clients appreciate most is Shankar’s hands-on, steady approach. Whether you’re expanding internationally, restructuring for tax efficiency, or dealing with a bookkeeping backlog, he brings a no-judgment, solutions-first mindset, focused on organizing what’s behind, simplifying what’s complex, and building a clear path forward.
Clients value Shankar’s ability to simplify complex situations, provide clear answers, and act as a steady financial partner they can rely on as their business grows.
