The Finance Function Behind Growing Companies.

Abbees is a private finance practice for owners of growing businesses, many of whom run more than one company and have worked with us across several ventures.

Behind every client is a dedicated team of 15 accounting professionals with CPA experience, led and reviewed by a Chartered Professional Accountant. We keep the books, payroll and filings in order so that decisions are made on numbers you can trust.

The principal

Abijeeth (AJ) Ravindranathan, CPA

Founder · Fractional CFO

AJ founded Abbees in 2022 to give owner-managed businesses the senior financial attention usually reserved for much larger companies. Before Abbees, he worked in accounting and management consulting at KPMG Canada and in finance at Macquarie Group.

His work centres on owners with more than one company: holding and operating structures, businesses changing hands, and the lenders, partners and tax authorities that come with them. He leads a team of 15 and stays personally involved with every client, many of whom have worked with him across several ventures.
