Frequently Asked Questions

Have Questions? We've Got Answers!

Have questions about Decode Accounting? Browse through our FAQs for quick answers about our service, tools, and how we can help your business. If you need more info, feel free to reach out!

Can you scale services as we grow or raise funding?

Yes! Start with basics like our Essential plan, then add CFO support for investor pitches, or controllership for post-funding scaling. We adapt to your stage - no need to switch providers later. Explore Plans →

Can you help with annual budgeting?

We build budgets that align with your strategic goals - not just historical data. That includes variance analysis, department-level granularity and "what-if" scenarios for new markets or product launches.

Do you help prepare financial reports for investors or grants?

Yes. Our fractional CFOs prepare financial information for management decision-making and pitch decks. We’ve helped clients secure $100M+ in funding and grants.  Learn more about our Advisory Services →

How do you strengthen internal controls for scaling businesses?

As you scale, internal controls can get out of hand. We'll design controls tailored to your risk profile. That means approval workflows for AP/AR, monthly reconciliations with alerts for anything out of the ordinary, role-based access to your financial systems - and audit trails for investor due diligence.

What happens if we get audited by the CRA?

We’ve got your back. Our team handles audit preparation, documentation, and direct communication with the CRA.

What FP&A support do you offer?

We take FP&A support to the next level. That means scenario modelling for fundraising, hiring or market shifts. KPI dashboards (think CAC/LTV, burn rate, runway) that give you a clear picture of where you stand. Board-ready reports with actionable insights. And quarterly re-forecasting to keep you agile.

Can you support and help manage cap tables and equity plans?

Cap tables and equity plans are our specialty. We can help with option grants, share cap management and scenario analysis, and help ensure everything is properly documented.

Can you help us secure bank financing or investor funding?

We can help with that. Our goal is to get your financials lender-ready—and keep them that way. That means accurate financial information, cash flow forecasts, and the tools to ensure compliance with lender covenants.

Do you partner with tech startups/non-profits/SaaS businesses?

Yes! We help Canadian tech startups secure funding, optimize their tax returns, and scale. For non-profits, we ensure compliance with charitable status rules and grant reporting.

Do you support non-profits with grant reporting?

Yes. We support non-profits with grant reporting too. We ensure compliance with grant restrictions, and have prepared reporting for both federal and provincial grants.

Where is Decode Accounting based and who will I be working with? 

Decode is proudly based in Western Canada. You’ll work directly with our in-house team of experienced professionals. Our team is made up of CPAs, former startup operators, and financial experts—all located in Canada. We believe in building trusted relationships through responsive, transparent service.

How much does outsourcing accounting cost for a startup or small business?

We offer flexible pricing - from monthly plans for essential services (like bookkeeping or payroll) to custom quotes for fractional CFO or advisory work. Most small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) and startups save 30 - 50% compared to hiring in-house, with no long-term contracts. See Plans →
