Accounting for Canadian business owners who expect more than just tax returns

Shawn Rowell
PBA, DFA-Tax Services Specialist

You didn’t start your business so you could become your own accountant.

You’re a business owner who…

is tired of juggling receipts and deadlines
worries about surprise tax bills or
wonders if you’re leaving money on the table
wants an accountant who speaks clearly and understands your business

I get it!

That’s exactly why I built Sway Accounting — my job is to simplify your numbers, eliminate the stress, and make sure you always know where your business stands — so you can focus on growing it.

If you’re ready for clean books, no surprises, and a partner who actually has your back, you’re in the right place.

Hi, I'm Shawn!

I work with Canadian business owners who want clear numbers, no surprises, and an accountant they can actually talk to.

After 20 years in accounting and tax, I’ve seen how stressful and confusing finances can be for business owners — especially when you’re trying to grow. That’s why I focus on clear communication, reliable numbers, and systems that just work.

I take the accounting and tax stress off your plate, so you can get back to the work that inspired you to start your business.
