Why Ledgerive in London

Built for London's Healthcare, Insurance & Tech Reality.

London runs on medical practices, insurance and financial services, a growing B2B SaaS ecosystem, professional services, and a durable agri-food and manufacturing base. Our finance work is built for exactly that reality — not for a generic Canadian small business.

CPA-supervised, senior-led

Every London engagement is led by a senior CPA. No junior handoffs, no offshore delegation. You work with someone who's already run finance for London businesses at your stage.

Medical & dental clinic depth

OHIP billing reconciliation, dental insurance, associate splits and buy-outs, medical or dental professional corporation (MPC/DPC) tax planning, group practice financials — the finance discipline London's healthcare ecosystem actually needs.

Insurance & financial services fluency

Commission reconciliation, trailer income tracking, book-of-business valuation for succession or sale, MGA and brokerage finance. London's insurance-industry heritage is real — and so is our depth serving it.

B2B SaaS & Western spin-out fluency

MRR/ARR waterfalls, cohort retention, LTV/CAC, SR&ED and IRAP funding, cap tables, investor-grade models. London's B2B SaaS ecosystem is earlier-stage than KW's, and our support is tuned to exactly that stage.

Fixed fees, no billable-hour games

Fixed monthly retainer for CFO and bookkeeping. Fixed project fee for business plans and models. What we quote is what you pay — no scope creep, no invoice surprises, no six-minute increments.

All four services under one roof

Bookkeeping, CFO, business plan and financial modeling from the same team, using the same numbers, telling the same story. No coordinating three firms who each know a piece of your business.

The London market

What London Businesses Actually Face.

London, Ontario is one of the most distinctive business markets in the province — and one that gets consistently underestimated by generic accounting firms who treat every city outside the GTA the same way. London runs on healthcare — one of Ontario's largest and most sophisticated medical ecosystems, anchored by London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), St. Joseph's Health Care London and the Schulich School of Medicine at Western University. It runs on insurance and financial services, a heritage industry rooted in London's history as a major Canadian insurance centre. It runs on an emerging B2B SaaS and technology ecosystem, anchored by Western University research and TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario. And it runs on professional services, agri-food operators and manufacturers connected to the broader Southwestern Ontario economy.

London medical and dental clinics face finance realities most generic accountants routinely fumble. OHIP billing reconciliation, dental insurance billing, associate compensation splits, professional corporation (MPC/DPC) tax structuring, group practice financials, associate buy-outs and clinic acquisitions — every one of these requires healthcare-industry expertise. A generic bookkeeper will misclassify OHIP receivables, miss corporate structuring opportunities that save meaningful tax, and give you a P&L that tells you nothing about which associates are actually profitable.

London's insurance and financial services firms — brokerages, MGAs, financial planning practices, wealth management firms — have their own finance realities. Commission-driven revenue, trailer income streams, book-of-business valuation for succession or sale, MGA reconciliations, and relationship-heavy client economics. Generic accountants treat these businesses like any other services firm, and the owner finds out at succession or sale that they don't actually know what their book is worth.

The city's B2B SaaS and Western University spin-out ecosystem is growing quickly — earlier-stage than Kitchener-Waterloo's deep-tech density, but real and accelerating. These companies need MRR waterfalls, cohort retention analysis, LTV/CAC discipline, SR&ED and IRAP funding strategy, cap tables, and investor-grade financial models built for seed and Series A raises. The finance work here looks nothing like what a London medical clinic or insurance brokerage needs — and generic firms rarely handle any of it well.

Layered on all of that: London is owner-operator country. Full-time CFO compensation in Southwestern Ontario runs into six figures very quickly, and most London businesses under $20M in revenue and pre-Series-B SaaS startups simply cannot justify that hire. What they need is senior finance leadership at Fractional pricing, industry-specific expertise across London's actual industry mix, and a partner that already knows the healthcare, insurance, SaaS and professional services realities shaping the city's economy. Ledgerive was built for exactly that.

When you need finance help

Signs Your London Business Needs Ledgerive.

Not every business needs every service. Here's when each of the four Ledgerive service lines is the right answer for a London business — and how to tell.

Fractional CFO

You Need a Fractional CFO When…

Your business is growing past the point where the owner can hold the entire finance function in their head — but a full-time Southwestern Ontario CFO hire isn't the right answer yet.

Common London triggers
  • Your medical or dental practice is growing past $2M and associate splits, MPC/DPC planning and clinic acquisitions are getting complex
  • Your insurance brokerage or financial services firm is preparing for succession, book-of-business valuation or acquisition
  • You're a Western University spin-out or B2B SaaS company preparing for a seed or Series A raise
  • Owner, family shareholders or investors want monthly reporting that actually shows what's happening
See Fractional CFO in London
Bookkeeping

You Need Ledgerive Bookkeeping When…

Your books are behind, wrong, or eating time you should be spending running the practice, brokerage or startup — and every month that goes by makes it worse.

Common London triggers
  • Your OHIP receivables aren't reconciling, dental insurance is a mess, or associate splits aren't tracked properly
  • Commission reconciliation is broken and trailer income is not tracked to source
  • HST filings are late, wrong, or you don't know if they're right
  • You need clean books to apply for financing, close a raise, sell the practice, or bring on a partner
See Bookkeeping in London
Business Plan

You Need a Business Plan When…

You have a real deadline — a lender application, a grant window, an investor meeting, or an immigration filing — and the plan has to be strong enough to actually get approved.

Common London triggers
  • You're applying for BDC financing, CSBFP or a Canadian bank loan for a clinic acquisition or expansion
  • You're a B2B SaaS founder or Western spin-out preparing an IRAP, SR&ED strategy or grant application
  • You're preparing an Ontario PNP Entrepreneur Stream or Start-Up Visa application
  • A previous business plan was rejected and you need it rebuilt to actually get approved
See Business Plans in London
Financial Modeling

You Need a Financial Model When…

Someone with money — investor, lender, buyer, partner — is going to look at your numbers, and the spreadsheet you built at 2 a.m. won't survive their questions.

Common London triggers
  • You're a B2B SaaS or Western spin-out raising capital and need an investor-grade model with MRR waterfall and LTV/CAC
  • You're valuing a medical or dental practice for acquisition, sale or associate buy-in
  • You're an insurance brokerage building book-of-business valuation for succession or sale
  • You're underwriting a London real estate deal or considering a major decision — new clinic, big equipment purchase, acquisition

What London Founders Say After 90 Days.

“
Our dental practice had grown to four associates and my previous accountant couldn't tell me which associates were actually profitable after their splits. Ledgerive rebuilt everything with real associate-level reporting, redesigned our compensation model and set up our DPC properly. Tax savings alone in the first year exceeded their entire engagement fee.

“
Our insurance brokerage was preparing for succession and I didn't actually know what my book was worth. Ledgerive built us a real book-of-business valuation, cleaned up commission reconciliation and gave us a defensible number for negotiation. The buyer's due diligence didn't change our number by a single dollar.

“
We're a Western spin-out building B2B SaaS and had never properly claimed SR&ED. Ledgerive drafted the technical narratives with our developers and filed the claim clean. That single line item extended our runway by six months — and gave us the confidence to go into our seed raise with real numbers.

Our family food processing business had grown to $9M and we couldn't tell which product lines were actually profitable. Ledgerive built us a real cost model, monthly reporting we can use, and a bank relationship that let us finance a new production line. Three months in and we finally know which SKUs make money.

London FAQ

Questions London Businesses Ask.

Straight answers to the questions that come up on nearly every London discovery call.

Do you have an office in London, Ontario?
Ledgerive is a remote-first firm serving London, Ontario businesses across the entire city and Southwestern Ontario. Every engagement is delivered by a senior lead over weekly calls, Slack access and secure document sharing. For clients who prefer face-to-face working sessions, on-site quarterly business reviews are available across London on request — including Downtown London, Old North, Byron, Masonville, Hyde Park, Wortley Village, White Oaks and surrounding neighborhoods.
Which London, Ontario industries do you specialize in?
Our deepest London specialties are medical and dental clinics (London has one of Ontario's largest healthcare ecosystems anchored by LHSC and St. Joseph's), insurance and financial services firms (a durable London specialty rooted in the city's insurance-industry heritage), B2B SaaS and technology startups (many Western University spin-outs and Communitech-adjacent tech businesses), professional services firms (law, consulting, accounting), agri-food and food processors, manufacturers and advanced manufacturing, real estate investors, restaurants and hospitality, and trades and construction SMBs. If your industry isn't listed, ask on the discovery call.
Are you familiar with London-specific business programs?
Yes. We regularly prepare applications and financials for the London Small Business Centre, TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario, WORLDiscoveries (Western University's technology transfer program), BDC's London office, Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP) financing through London-area lenders, Futurpreneur Canada, Ontario Centres of Innovation (OCI), FedDev Ontario, and industry-specific grants relevant to London's healthcare, insurance, SaaS and agri-food clusters. We also handle SR&ED claims for London-area tech and R&D-intensive businesses.
Do London, Ontario businesses need a full-time CFO or a Fractional CFO?
Full-time CFO compensation in Southwestern Ontario runs into six figures very quickly — a cost most London medical practices, insurance and financial services firms, B2B SaaS startups and family-owned SMBs cannot justify. A Fractional CFO delivers the same strategic finance leadership — cash flow forecasting, lender and investor relationships, budgeting, board or owner reporting, fundraise and grant support — for the fraction of the year your business actually needs it. For most London businesses under $20M in revenue and pre-Series-B startups, Fractional is the right answer.
Do you work with London, Ontario medical and dental clinics?
Yes — this is one of our deepest London specialties. London has one of Ontario's largest and most sophisticated healthcare ecosystems anchored by London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC), St. Joseph's Health Care London and the Schulich School of Medicine at Western. We handle OHIP billing reconciliation, dental insurance billing, associate splits and buy-outs, medical or dental professional corporation (MPC/DPC) tax planning, group practice financials, and the specific finance discipline that separates well-run clinics from ones bleeding money through poor associate agreements and unclaimed tax planning.
Can you help London insurance and financial services firms?
Yes. Insurance and financial services is one of London's most durable industries — a legacy of the city's long history as a major Canadian insurance centre. We work with insurance brokerages, MGAs, financial planning firms, wealth management practices and adjacent professional services businesses. We handle commission reconciliation, trailer income tracking, book-of-business valuation for succession or sale, and the specific finance discipline these commission-driven, relationship-heavy businesses need.
Can you help London B2B SaaS startups and Western University spin-outs?
Yes. London has a growing B2B SaaS and technology ecosystem, anchored by Western University, TechAlliance of Southwestern Ontario, and the city's rising deep-tech and health-tech spin-outs from Western research. We build finance operations for pre-revenue and early-stage SaaS companies, including MRR/ARR waterfalls, cohort retention analysis, LTV/CAC, SR&ED claims, IRAP funding strategy, cap tables, investor-grade models, and CFO leadership through seed and Series A raises.
How is London different from Toronto or Kitchener-Waterloo for finance work?
London has a distinct economic identity — one of Ontario's largest healthcare ecosystems, a durable insurance and financial services industry, a growing but earlier-stage B2B SaaS ecosystem than Kitchener-Waterloo, and a strong professional services and agri-food base connected to Southwestern Ontario. Compared to Toronto's VC-heavy tech ecosystem or KW's deep-tech density, London is more focused on healthcare finance, insurance-industry finance, and mid-market operating discipline. Our approach in London reflects that.
How quickly can you get started with a London, Ontario business?
Fractional CFO and bookkeeping engagements typically start within 3 to 5 business days of the discovery call. Business plans and financial models start within 3 business days, with 2 to 4 week delivery. Rush turnaround is available for lender deadlines, grant windows or SR&ED filing deadlines — always confirmed on the discovery call itself so you know before you commit.
Do you sign an NDA before the discovery call?
Absolutely — send yours or use ours. Everything you share stays confidential whether or not we end up working together.
How do you handle pricing?
We quote a fixed fee in writing after the discovery call — monthly for CFO and bookkeeping engagements, fixed project fee for business plans and models. Pricing depends on business size, scope and complexity. We don't publish pricing publicly because engagements vary too much — but we're happy to give you a firm, written number on the call itself.
