Who we serve

Built for the way the GTA actually does business

Not every firm understands sole proprietors who invoice in two currencies, or a Shopify store reconciling Stripe, PayPal and marketplace payouts in the same month. We do.

01

Small Business Owners

Retailers, clinics, trades and professional services across Durham, York, Peel and Toronto who need clean books, on-time HST and a financial picture they actually understand.

02

Independent Contractors

Consultants, freelancers and incorporated professionals juggling T4A/T2125 filings, quarterly instalments and the gap between gross invoices and what's actually yours to keep.

03

Ecommerce Companies

Shopify, Amazon FBA and DTC brands needing multi-channel reconciliation, COGS and inventory accuracy, and a CFO who can read a marketplace settlement report.

What M6 Stands For

The six pillars behind every business we serve

M6 Management takes its name from the six foundational forces that drive every successful business. Our advisory work is built around all six — because ignoring any one of them is where businesses run into trouble.

M1

Man

People are the engine of every business. We help you understand payroll, labour costs and the financial impact of every hire you make.

M2

Machine

Technology and capital assets shape your cost structure. We track depreciation, equipment financing and the ROI of every tool your business runs on.

M3

Material

Inventory, supplies and raw inputs determine your margins. We keep your COGS accurate and your material costs visible in every monthly report.

M4

Method

How your business operates — systems, workflows, processes — has a direct cost. We help you see where your methods are profitable and where they're leaking money.

M5

Measure

What gets measured gets managed. Clean books, accurate KPIs and timely financial statements give you the numbers to make decisions with confidence.

M6

Mother Nature

External forces — seasons, markets, regulation, the economy — are beyond your control. We build financial resilience so your business can weather whatever comes.

Real conversations, real numbers

Every engagement starts with understanding how your business actually makes money.

What we do

Three layers of financial support, one accountable team

Start with clean books and accurate filings. Add strategic guidance only when you actually need it — no bundled fluff, no thirty-line service menu.

Bookkeeping

Monthly reconciliation, categorization and reporting that's clean enough to hand to a bank, an investor, or your tax accountant without edits.

  • QuickBooks Online & Xero
  • Bank & credit card reconciliation
  • Monthly financial statements

Tax Preparation

Corporate and personal filings handled with the deadlines treated as a floor, not a target — plus year-round planning so April never surprises you.

  • T2 corporate & T1 personal returns
  • HST/GST filing & remittance planning
  • CRA correspondence handled for you

Fractional CFO

Senior financial judgment on a fraction of a full-time cost — cash flow forecasting, pricing decisions, and the numbers behind your next hire or loan.

  • 13-week cash flow forecasting
  • Margin & pricing analysis
  • Lender & investor-ready reporting
Why M6 Management

Senior-level oversight, not a junior bookkeeper learning on your file

01

Every file gets senior review

Your books aren't handed to whoever's free that week. Every engagement is reviewed by senior staff before it reaches you, so what you see is accurate the first time.

Who we serve →
How it works

From messy spreadsheet to monthly clarity

Most clients are fully onboarded and seeing their first clean close inside three weeks.

01

Discovery call

30 minutes to understand your business, current bookkeeping state, and where the gaps actually are.

02

Cleanup & setup

We reconcile any backlog, set up or migrate your accounting software, and build your reporting structure.

03

Monthly close

Books closed, reconciled and reported on by the 10th business day — every month, without chasing.

04

Strategic review

A standing call to walk through the numbers and what they mean for your next decision.

What it sounds like when the books finally make sense

"We went from finding out our numbers two months late to knowing our margin on every SKU within a week of month-end. That changed how we price."

R. PatelEcommerce, Markham

"As a contractor, tax season used to be a scramble. M6 Management set up quarterly instalments so I never get hit with a surprise bill again."

D. OkaforIT Consultant, Toronto

"Their fractional CFO work helped us walk into a bank meeting with a 13-week cash forecast instead of a guess. We got the line of credit."

M. LefebvreRetail, Whitby

FAQ

Questions we get on most discovery calls

Do you work with businesses outside Toronto proper? +

Yes — we serve clients across the full Greater Toronto Area, including Durham, York, Peel and Halton regions, entirely remotely through cloud accounting tools.

My books are a mess. Can you still take me on? +

That's most of our onboarding calls. We start with a cleanup engagement to reconcile any backlog before moving you onto a regular monthly close — usually three weeks or less.

What's the difference between an accountant and a fractional CFO? +

An accountant tells you what happened. A fractional CFO tells you what to do next — pricing decisions, cash flow planning, and the numbers behind hiring or financing. We do both, separately priced so you only pay for what you need.

Do you replace my existing accountant? +

Not necessarily — we can work alongside an existing tax accountant for filings while we handle bookkeeping and CFO work, or take on the full scope ourselves.

What software do you use? +

QuickBooks Online and Xero are our primary platforms, with integrations for Shopify, Stripe, A2X and most major payment processors.
