Recognized for the values we were built on.
Humanity Financial leads with love, disrupts with purpose, and holds itself radically accountable. Every certification on this page is evidence of that: earned independently, maintained actively, and aligned with the same values that guide every client relationship.

115.3
BCorp Score (median is 50.9)
1st
CPA firm in western Canada to earn
BCorp status
1st
Accounting firm in Canada to become a Benefit Company
Not a Standard Accounting Firm
The credentials follow the conviction.
Humanity Financial did not earn a B Impact Score of 115.3 because it was good for business. It did not become the first accounting firm in Canada to incorporate as a Benefit Company because it was a smart move. These things happened because the values were already there.
For the charities, nonprofits, First Nations, and Indigenous communities this firm serves, that distinction matters.
Choosing a financial partner means choosing carefully. Every certification below was earned through independent assessment against defined standards. Not purchased, not affiliated, not performative.
This is what it looks like when an accounting firm means what it says.

Our Manifesto in Action, June 2025
CPABC, AFOA BC, MST ETS, and Humanity Financial sign Memorandum of Understanding
Humanity Financial’s vision has always included enabling Indigenous financial self-determination, supporting nation builders with generational mindsets and a focus on the future. In June 2025, that vision took a concrete form: a Memorandum of Understanding co-signed with CPABC, AFOA BC, and MST ETS to develop an Accounts Payable Program piloted within the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh communities. The program creates direct pathways to entry-level accounting roles for underemployed or unemployed Indigenous individuals. This is not a partnership announcement. It is our manifesto, made real.
