About Us - Frosthalorix Accounting Services

Who We Really Are

Look, we're not gonna pretend we started in someone's garage with a dream and a calculator. Frosthalorix came together in 2018 when a few of us got tired of watching tech startups drown in spreadsheets they didn't understand.

Here's the thing - Vancouver's startup scene is wild. Companies go from basement operations to multi-million dollar valuations faster than you can say "Series A funding." But most founders? They're brilliant at building products, terrible at reading balance sheets. That's where we come in.

We've built our practice around one simple idea: accounting shouldn't feel like you're decoding ancient hieroglyphics. Whether you're dealing with stock options, R&D tax credits, or just trying to figure out if you can afford to hire that third developer, we break it down so it actually makes sense.

Today

2018 - How We Got Started

Three CPAs, way too much coffee, and a shared frustration with how traditional firms treated tech companies. We'd seen too many startup founders get hit with surprise tax bills or miss out on SR&ED credits because nobody bothered explaining the opportunities.

Started with five clients who were willing to take a chance on us. All five are still with us today, which says something. We promised transparency, quick turnarounds, and no jargon. Turns out people actually want that.

2019 - Going Full Cloud

Ditched the filing cabinets. Every single one. If you're serving tech companies, you better practice what you preach. Moved everything to cloud-based systems - QuickBooks Online, Xero, Receipt Bank, the whole nine yards.

Our clients could suddenly see their numbers in real-time instead of waiting weeks for reports. Game changer. Also meant we could work with companies anywhere in BC, not just Vancouver proper.

2021 - Growing The Team

Pandemic hit, but tech startups were booming. We brought on four new team members - all specialists in different areas. Tax optimization, financial forecasting, payroll compliance, you name it.

Started getting referrals from VCs and incubators. Apparently word spreads when you actually return emails within 24 hours and explain things in plain English. Who knew?

2023 - Milestone Year

Hit 100 active clients. Not all tech startups anymore - we'd branched into SaaS companies, AI firms, even a couple gaming studios. Moved into bigger offices on Homer Street because the old space was getting cramped.

Launched our proprietary forecasting models specifically built for recurring revenue businesses. Took us eight months to develop, but now our SaaS clients can actually plan their cash flow more than two months out.

2025 - Where We Are Now

Team of twelve, serving 150+ clients across BC. We've handled everything from pre-revenue startups to companies pulling in eight figures annually. Still answering our own phones, still keeping things personal.

The tech landscape keeps changing - crypto payouts, international contractors, AI-related tax implications - but that's what keeps it interesting. We're not just crunching numbers anymore; we're helping founders make actual strategic decisions.

What We Actually Believe

No Accounting Speak

If we can't explain it in terms a non-accountant understands, we're doing it wrong. Your numbers should make sense to you, not just to us.

Fast Responses Matter

Startups move quick. We answer emails same day, usually within a few hours. If you've got a question that's blocking a decision, we don't make you wait.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We flag potential issues before they become problems. Tax deadlines, cash flow crunches, compliance requirements - you shouldn't have to chase us for this stuff.

Fixed Fees When Possible

Hourly billing creates weird incentives. We prefer flat monthly rates so you know what you're paying and we're incentivized to be efficient.
