Our Approach

Ted Maclean, CPA, MBA, works with incorporated business owners who want more than year-end compliance—they want clarity, strategy, and confidence in their decisions.

He helps clients navigate the complexities of corporate tax while identifying practical opportunities to reduce tax and improve overall financial outcomes. His approach is proactive and forward-looking, focusing not just on meeting requirements, but on helping business owners make smarter decisions throughout the year.

The result is simple: fewer surprises, better decisions, and greater peace of mind knowing the right strategies are in place.

How We Help You Succeed

Financial Information and Decision Support

As a business owner you don’t have knowledge of all business areas – it’s just not possible to know everything. You feel conflicted and unsure about which decision to make when it comes to a problem or opportunity.

Corporate and Personal Tax

As a business owner you may find yourself uncertain and anxious about your compliance with tax regulations and whether your affairs are arranged for maximum tax efficiency.

Professional Accounting

Many business owners are frustrated with the work involved in keeping track of their financial and accounting transactions, whether they do it themselves or are having someone else do it poorly.

Our story: Experience beyond the numbers

Most incorporated business owners don’t need another accountant to record transactions—they need someone who understands what it’s actually like to run a business.

Ted Maclean is a CPA and advisor who works closely with owner-managed businesses to help them make better decisions, reduce tax, and plan for what’s next—whether that’s growth, transition, or exiting on their terms.

With over 20 years of experience serving small and mid-sized businesses, Ted goes beyond compliance. He helps clients navigate the real issues that keep owners up at night: cash flow pressure, hiring challenges, tax complexity, succession planning, and balancing business success with personal goals.

What makes Ted different is his hands-on business background. Before focusing on accounting and advisory, he built a corporate career across project management, HR, quality assurance, research, and venture development. He holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business and brings that broader perspective into every conversation—connecting the numbers to what’s actually happening in the business.

He’s also stepped directly into leadership roles within client companies—guiding turnarounds, supporting acquisitions, and helping owners execute successful exit strategies. That experience gives him a practical, real-world understanding of how decisions play out beyond the financial statements.

Ted has worked across industries including healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and government, but today his focus is clear: helping incorporated business owners and their families make smarter, more integrated decisions.

He works closely with lawyers and financial advisors to align corporate strategy with personal tax planning, estates, and trusts—because for business owners, everything is connected.

If you’re looking for someone who can see beyond the books and help you think through the bigger picture, Ted brings both the technical expertise and the business experience to guide you forward.
