We make small business finances simple

ABM Books gives Canadian small businesses one place to handle payroll, bookkeeping, invoicing, and more, built by accountants who know exactly how hard the old way can be.

Our Story

As a Canadian tax and accounting practice, we watched small business owners struggle with the same problems again and again: payroll software that cost too much, bookkeeping tools built for accountants instead of owners, and a patchwork of apps that never quite talked to each other. Too many businesses were paying too much for tools that made their lives harder, not easier.

So we built the tool we wished they had. ABM Books brings payroll, bookkeeping, invoicing, expenses, time tracking, and reporting into one simple platform, designed for people who don’t have an accounting background and priced so any business can start for free. Built by accountants, made for Canadian small business, and shaped by the real challenges we see our clients face.

Today, we’re proud to help businesses across Canada spend less time on paperwork and more time doing what they do best.

“We are a Canadian startup trying to disrupt the financial management industry.”

My path into finance started at fifteen in Eritrea, helping the accountant at my parents' transportation company. By sixteen I was keeping the books myself. After moving to Canada and earning my CMA and CPA, I worked with two established firms and saw a clear gap: hardworking business owners needed simpler, more affordable financial tools. So I founded my own practice in Winnipeg, now expanded to Calgary, and built two platforms to serve our clients, Taxanywhere for personal tax filing, and ABM Books for business bookkeeping, payroll, invoicing, and expenses in one place. Our mission is simple: to give small businesses financial clarity, keep their records clean, and stand beside them as a trusted ally as they grow.

5/5

Payroll used to stress me out every two weeks. I’m not an expert, and I don’t have time to figure that stuff out. ABMBooks is easy to use, and it just works. I can get paystubs done in minutes and move on with my day. I’m not sitting at my desk for awhile anymore. Huge relief.
