He has led monthly cost-versus-budget and forecasting reviews with executives, vice presidents and project leadership teams at companies including Dragados Canada, Colas Canada, Kiewit and GFL Environmental.
2
Major Construction Projects
He has managed the financial side of construction projects worth more than $500 million, from cost control and administration staff to accounting-system implementations.

An Operational Accountant
A Certified Management Accountant since 2016, he has worked with everyone from the yard to inventory and sales: pricing bids and proformas, forecasting costs and finding operational savings.
4
Sized to Your Business
He takes what large companies do well and scales it to a smaller business and its budget. He also runs a landscaping supply yard, Devonian Landscape, so he knows the owner’s side of the desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about working with Ebert CPA.

Getting startedWho will I work with?

You work directly with the accountant who reviews your reports and advises you, and with our bookkeeper, who keeps your records current between reviews.

Getting startedDo you work with businesses outside Edmonton?

Yes. Ebert CPA is based in Edmonton and serves businesses across Alberta. We discuss meeting arrangements and any on-site work as part of the engagement.

Getting startedWhat happens at the first consultation?

We discuss your business, current accounting arrangements and the services you need. We then confirm the proposed scope, fees and next steps, including any records or account access required.

FeesHow are your fees determined?

Fees are quoted for each engagement and sized to your business. They depend on the services you need, the volume of transactions and the condition of your records: clean monthly statements take less work than a year of receipts in a box. We agree fees before work begins and discuss any additional work with you first.
