We are activist accountants, working alongside nation builders, change makers, and fearless leaders in service of others, across Canada.
You won’t find another accounting firm like us. Our clients are just as special.
Offering specialized accounting services since 2008, our exclusive focus has been on serving Canadian community and social purpose organizations since 2014.
Our primary goal is to build or supplement internal financial capacity for
our clients, which include:
- Charitable Organizations,
- Non-Profit Organizations,
- First Nation governments, and
- Indigenous communities.
Collectively, we fight for something bigger and better, including social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic inclusion and equity. Click here to see our Manifesto.
Humanity Financial is the first accounting firm in Canada to become a Benefit Company. Click here to view our most recent Impact Report.
As a company determined to use our business as a force for doing good, we were the first CPA firm in Canada to become a Certified B Corporation. We are also a Certified Caring Company; a Certified Carbon-Neutral firm, purchasing carbon offsets to support the Great Bear Forest Carbon Project; and working towards our Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations certification. Humanity is certified as a Great Place to Work.
We support social purpose organizations, from coast to coast to coast.
We:
develop the financial skills of your own team to become self-reliant
advance your group's case with funders
help to materialize your organization's impact
Humanity designs financial systems to empower your organization, and amplify its impacts.
We help with clean-up, catch-up, and maintenance of your organization’s records. We systematize financial information, deliver insights, and support sound
decisions.
But that’s only the beginning.
Once your organization’s financial ‘house’ is in order, we’ll help to clear your pathway to financial liberation: bringing the numbers to life for all stakeholders, advancing your group’s case with funders, and materializing the impacts that your group strives for.
Getting to know Humanity Financial - are we a fit for your organization?
As you’re considering our potential fit for your organization, here’s what you should know about us:
As outsourced (part-time or full-time) finance professionals, we provide accounting services including controllership and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) related advisory and consulting services.
Our services are offered virtually. In other words, we work remotely and not from a client’s office, although we love meeting up in person when possible.
If needed, we are able to assemble a team from our Humanity pool of over 30 talented accountants, to assist clients with larger projects, meeting deadlines, or assisting with major catch-up work.
As a CPA firm that doesn’t do audits or year-end tax returns, we are somewhat unique! We partner with some of the best auditors in the country: at year-end, we provide them with a clean set of books and working papers.
Here’s what we provide to clients:
- Peace of mind – internal financial confidence and external financial credibility
- Time savings – freeing up of capacity for leadership and Board to dream big
- Specialized knowledge of the not-for-profit and charity sector
- Real experience and passion for working with First Nations and Indigenous communities
- A people-centred approach – we lead with empathy: you will be seen and heard
- Financial stability and role continuity
- Guidance with our 5 Stages of Financial Wellness paradigm, which moves groups from a compliance focus to a strategic one
- A quality guarantee
Here’s what we seek in clients:
- Social purpose is at the heart of your mission, as a charitable organization, Non- Profit Organization (NPO), First Nation, or Indigenous community
- Based in Canada
- Annual budget of at least $2M
- Keen to invest in strong financial infrastructure, desire to enable mission achievement; with the budget to do so
- Comfort with a remote working relationship with our team
- An openness to engaging with us in some initial discovery work, which provides a baseline of your current situation,
- Willingness to engage in co-creating solutions with us
- Last but not least! We love working with nice people!

We acknowledge nations and leaders. We work with gratitude.
We acknowledge our traditional hosts and honour their welcome and graciousness to our team members and their families.
Our office is located on the unceded, never surrendered, stolen, traditional and ancestral territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations who have been stewards of these lands since time immemorial. As an uninvited settler on this land, we recognize the responsibility we have to actively participate in decolonizing practices that address Canada’s colonial past and the ongoing subjugation of Indigenous people. We are privileged to work, live, and play here.
We’re Humanity. We help with impact.

We help with impact.
In business since 2008, we’ve been Canada’s specialist nonprofit and social purpose sector financial services firm since 2014.
Leadership is complex—especially in nonprofits, charities and social enterprises. Multiple funders support overlapping programs—financial reporting that be dizzying for managers, and impenetrable to boards. We get it, because we’ve lived it. Pressure to make social impact grows, as communities and causes need more and more. Your decision-making must be fast, clear and accurate. That’s where we come in.
Humanity designs financial systems to empower you. We systematize financial information, deliver insights, support sound decisions, and advance your case with funders. We help with clean up, catch up and maintenance of your records. We keep it clean, and we help you do the same. We’re diligent, effective, and accessible. Most importantly, we listen.
