OUR STORY

ADS Accounting began in 2008 with a simple request from a friend:
"Can you help with the bookkeeping and accounting for my growing business?"

From that single client, we built our foundation on personalized, one-on-one service that puts your needs first.

Over the years, we’ve expanded to offer:

  • Bookkeeping & Year-End Accounting

  • Payroll Services

  • Personal & Corporate Tax Filing

  • Strategic Financial Planning

Our experience spans a wide range of industries — from real estate and construction to property management, marketing, leasing, freight, and more.

What sets us apart?
We take the time to truly understand you and your business, then apply financial insights and innovations to help you work smarter, grow faster, and reach your goals with confidence.

At ADS Accounting, you’re more than numbers on a spreadsheet — you’re a partner in success.

Meet Andre.

Founder & Principal

Andre’s love for numbers started back in high school, and it only grew stronger as he earned his Accounting degree in college. After graduation, he dove into the world of bookkeeping, year-end accounting, and taxation at a CPA firm, learning the ropes of supporting small-to-medium-sized businesses. Since then, his career has taken him through diverse industries — from wealth management and a cutting-edge electric car start-up to marketing and real estate leasing.

When he’s not immersed in ledgers and spreadsheets, you’ll find him out on a walk or hike, at the gym, trying his hand at golf, exploring Guelph’s restaurants and breweries, or simply relaxing with friends.

“People often tell me, “You’re not what I expected from an accountant!” — and I take that as a compliment. I believe accounting doesn’t have to feel stiff or impersonal. I enjoy connecting with people, hearing their stories, sharing a laugh, and building trust that goes beyond the numbers. If you’re looking for an accountant who brings both expertise and a personal touch, I’d love to chat!” - Andre
