Numbers Unlimited

We strive to give you peace of mind by helping you reach your financial goals through quality and timely bookkeeping, consulting, and income tax services.

Established in 1999 Numbers was originally started to work around the schedules of our 4 children. Initially we worked evenings so I could spend the day with our two youngest children who were still preschoolers. In 2005 we had outgrown my basement, so we moved to an office on Walsh Avenue. We spent 6 years in that location, until we had no room left to move. In November 2011 we moved to our prese

nt location on the main floor of the Chiropractic Arts Building. Room to grow, with a location that allows us to make our clients feel comfortable. Our team won the Business Excellence Award in 2010. I'm very proud of that accomplishment because it was won by all of us.

A good bookkeeper should be able to tell you when something in the numbers doesn't make sense.

That may sound obvious, but it matters.

A report can balance and still contain entries that distort what's really happening in the business, and if something is consistently landing in the wrong place, the owner may end up making decisions from information that looks complete but isn't actually useful.

One of the skills experience gives you is pattern recognition.

After years of working with business records, you start to notice when a figure doesn't fit the usual flow of the business or when the same inconsistency keeps showing up month after month.

It's one of the main reasons that a careful review earns its value.

Small issues are easier to correct while they're still small, and the sooner they're found, the less likely they are to affect future reporting.

One question I think is worth asking before fall gets fully underway is: what would make running your business easier next quarter?

In my experience, business owners usually have a pretty good sense of what's creating friction, but the useful part of identifying it is deciding what kind of support would actually improve it.

A small change in the right place can make the next quarter easier to manage and give you better information to work with as the year moves forward.

One thing I’ve learned from working with business owners is that the timing of a financial conversation can matter just as much as the advice itself.

When a question comes up early, there's usually more room to look at the numbers properly and consider what makes sense before anything becomes urgent. Once a deadline approaches or a problem has already surfaced, the focus often shifts to addressing the immediate issue.

I’ve seen many situations where an earlier conversation could've made the decision easier because there was more time to review the information and think through the consequences.

As a result, I encourage business owners to raise questions as soon as they start wondering about something.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲.

A good conversation at the right time can give you more options and help you make the decision with a clearer head.

I’ve seen this happen when the records are current, and the numbers are correct, but the timing of money coming in doesn't match the timing of what needs to be paid. On paper, the business may look healthy while the bank account feels much tighter than expected.

That is why cash flow deserves its own attention.
Looking at what customers still owe you and what's coming due can tell you far more about the next few weeks than revenue alone.

In my experience, owners feel much more confident when they understand both profitability and timing.
Accurate books give you the foundation, and regular cash flow reviews help you see whether the business can comfortably meet its upcoming commitments.

If cash always seems tight even when sales are strong, it's usually a sign that the timing behind the numbers deserves a closer look.

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that busy seasons become much easier to manage when the financial side of the business is already in good shape.

When bookkeeping is current and the supporting documents are easy to find, you spend far less time trying to piece information together under pressure. Regular reviews also make it easier to spot issues earlier, while clear processes help keep important financial tasks moving even when everyone is busy.

Preparation may not feel urgent when business is running smoothly, but this is often the best time to put these habits in place. Waiting until workloads increase usually means you're trying to fix problems when you have the least capacity to deal with them.

Good financial habits save time because they reduce the amount of catching up and correcting you have to do later. That can make a noticeable difference when the business enters one of its busiest periods.

Today, I'm excited to announce that I'm running for Abbotsford City Council.

This wasn't a decision I made lightly.
I've spent my career helping people solve problems.

For nearly 40 years, I've worked alongside individuals, families, businesses, and organizations, helping them make sound financial decisions and navigate complex challenges. For more than 26 years, I've also had the privilege of building and leading Numbers Unlimited, working with local business owners and seeing firsthand both the opportunities and the frustrations they face.

Abbotsford has been home for my family for many years. It's where we've raised our family, built our business, served our community, and created lifelong friendships. Through my work and volunteer involvement, I've had countless conversations with people who care deeply about our city.

One message keeps coming back:
People want a City Hall that works for the people who live and do business here - not the bureaucracy.

That's why I'm running.

I believe good leadership starts with listening. It means asking thoughtful questions, making practical decisions based on facts, and following through.

Over the coming weeks, I'll be sharing more about my story, the principles that guide my decisions, and the priorities I'll work toward if I'm elected.

I'd be honoured to earn your support, and I hope you'll join me on this journey.

Growth changes the financial questions you need to ask.

When your business is smaller, you may be able to keep a fairly good handle on what's happening simply because you're close to everything, but as the business grows, that becomes more difficult.

You may have more employees and more money moving through the business each month, and at this point, knowing the bank balance or looking at a basic profit and loss statement may not give you enough information.

You start needing answers to different questions.

Are labour costs increasing at the same pace as revenue?
Which areas of the business are contributing the most profit?
Why is cash tighter this month when sales are up?
Can the business comfortably afford another employee?

Those are the kinds of questions that stronger financial reporting and oversight can help you answer.

Over the years, I’ve seen businesses reach a stage where the bookkeeping is being done correctly, but the owner needs more from the numbers. This is the exact moment when controller-level support starts becoming valuable.

Having someone to regularly review the financial information, look more closely at what's changing and helping the owner understand what deserves attention, helps your business to grow and allows you space to focus on other tasks that need your attention.

If you're getting reports but still struggling to answer the financial questions that come with running a larger business, it may be time to look at whether you need more oversight.

As summer starts winding down, this is a good time to take a closer look at how your business is doing this year.

You still have several months left to make changes, and your numbers can help you decide where those changes may be needed.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄.
Is there enough money coming in when you need it, or are you finding it more difficult to cover regular expenses even though sales appear healthy? If cash feels tighter than expected, look at when customers are paying and whether your expenses have changed.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿.
A cost that has gradually increased may not stand out month to month. Over several months, though, it can start taking a noticeable amount out of your profit.

𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼𝗼.
Look beyond whether everyone is being paid on time. Are overtime costs increasing? Have staffing costs changed in relation to revenue? Are your payroll records and remittances current?
Payroll can be one of the largest expenses in a business, so changes here are worth understanding.

Finally, ask yourself whether you trust the financial information you are using to make decisions.

If someone asked you today how profitable the business has been this year or where your biggest cost increases are coming from, could you answer confidently?

❗ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱.

Taking a closer look now gives you time to address what needs attention while there's still plenty of the year left.

I’ve met many business owners over the years who put off looking closely at their numbers, even when they know they probably should.

And most of the time, it comes down to uncertainty.

The reports may feel overwhelming, or the owner may not know what they should be paying attention to once they open them and when the information doesn't feel clear or useful, it becomes much easier to avoid it.

This is one of the reasons why I believe that financial reports need to do more than simply present numbers. They should help you understand what's happening in the business and give you enough clarity to make a decision with confidence.

If your reports leave you with more questions than answers, the issue may be the way the information is being presented or whether the reporting still fits the business you're running today.

Good financial information should help you see what deserves your attention and make the next decision easier to understand.

One thing I’ve noticed over the years is how often business owners put off financial decisions because year-end feels like the natural time to deal with them.

The problem is that many of the decisions that shape your final results happen months earlier, and by the time December arrives, a large part of the year has already been written into the numbers.

August gives you a useful opportunity to review what's happening now and decide whether something needs attention before it carries through the rest of the year.

That kind of review can make year-end much more useful because you're evaluating the results of decisions you had time to act on, rather than simply looking back at what already happened.
