Small Business | Big Insights

"Being small is our superpower." I truly believe this to be true. It allows us to be nimble, partner with our customers to solve their problems, and try to do things differently - like investing in a B Corporation certification. Our goal is to maintain this unique part of Bond Bakery Brands as we scale. I spoke to Eric Saumure, CPA, CA about all of this for his podcast Small Businesses | Big Insights. Listen below!

We’re proud to announce that Zenbooks is one of Canada’s Top Growing Companies ranked by The Globe and Mail. To me, success means we’re doing something RIGHT. It’s that rare validation, the feeling that our values—being approachable, kind, yet professional—aren’t just guiding us but actually making a tangible difference. In life, few things are as meaningful as building something that mirrors your personal philosophy and seeing it resonate with others. At Zenbooks, this is just the beginning. Our growth isn’t about hitting milestones, it’s about transforming how business owners view their accountants. We’re here to challenge the norm. We’re here to be more than just advisors—we’re partners in the journey. Why? Because small business owners are the lifeblood of our communities. They’re the ones sponsoring the local soccer and hockey teams. They’re the ones bringing character and depth to our lives through their products, their creativity, their local events. They’re the ones who make life more vibrant, more human. And we get the privilege of helping them make that impact. We see the future filled with more growth, not just for Zenbooks, but for every small business we work with. Together, we multiply the influence they have on their communities, creating a ripple effect that goes far beyond financial success. This is what drives us. This is what we’re building. And the future? It’s bright. “In an industry that often feels like watching paint dry, we're proud to bring a little spark—and a lot of growth. This recognition belongs to our clients who dare to think differently about their finances, and to our team who turns those bold ideas into reality.” said Eric Saumure, Principal at Zenbooks. Congratulations to fellow Ottawa based companies on their success: TryCycle Data Systems Inc. | Noibu | Kahi | Food Cycle Science | MindBridge | iFathom | Black Tar Construction | Kettlemans Bagel | CanadaWheels | CloseReach | seoplus+

Have you ever encountered someone who seems to have unlocked the secrets of life, someone who moves through the world with a profound understanding of what it means to live with purpose and joy? That was my experience when I connected with Shrad Rao from Wagepoint. Our conversation unexpectedly ventured into the realms of deep philosophy, exploring the intricacies of humanity, the psychology of being, and the power of embracing a child-like wonder in our approach to life. Shrad has not only built and grown a groundbreaking platform for small business payroll, but he has also infused it with a sense of simplicity and playfulness—an approach that is both revolutionary and deeply human in an industry often dominated by rigid rules and complexities. My time with him was more than just a discussion about business; it was a dialogue that left me profoundly inspired, challenging me to rethink how we navigate the complexities of our professional and personal lives. I believe that this conversation holds a depth of insight that resonates far beyond the surface, and it might just inspire you in the same way it did me.
