Tangent Consulting

Tangent Consulting is a Mississauga, Ontario-based accounting firm founded in 2016 that operates fully remotely, serving small and medium-sized businesses across Canada and the United States. The firm positions itself as a growth-focused financial partner that handles bookkeeping, corporate tax preparation and filing, CFO-level strategic guidance, outsourced accounting department services, and CRA dispute resolution. Its stated approach emphasizes plain-language communication, custom financial strategies, and proactive identification of financial issues before they escalate. Tangent describes a four-step process: understanding the client's business, reviewing current financials, building a practical plan, and handling ongoing books, reports, and filings. The firm reports working with a range of industries but notes particular strength with trades, service-based businesses, IT, and fast-growing startups. According to its history, Tangent went fully remote in 2018, expanded its team in 2021, and launched services in the United States in 2023. The firm offers a free consultation and emphasizes flexible, part-time or project-based engagements rather than full-time commitments, along with no long-term contracts. Published content covers topics such as contractor margins, dental practice overhead, and cash flow management, reflecting a focus on owner-managed businesses seeking clearer financial visibility and tax efficiency.
