This week, our International Top ProAdvisor profile focuses on Gabrielle Smith of Fix My Books Inc. of Toronto, Ontario.
Fix My Books is a boutique bookkeeping and tax firm that specializes in helping Canadian entrepreneurs expand into the U.S. We focus on cross-border compliance, clean books, and strategic clarity, especially for service-based and online businesses. My husband Jason and I co-founded the firm with a deep understanding of what international growth really takes. As immigrants ourselves, we know how daunting it can be to move countries and build from the ground up, so we built a firm designed to make that process easier.
Insightful Accountant asked, "how does the ProAdvisor Award fit into your firm's mission?", to which Gabrielle replied:
This award really reflects what we’ve been working toward all along, making it easier for small business owners (especially immigrant founders like us) to grow with confidence. Being recognized as a Top International ProAdvisor affirms that our work in a complex niche where U.S. and Canadian tax rules meet, is actually making a difference.
We also asked Gabrielle if she had "been able to leverage her ProAdvisor Award to promote her firm?", she responded:
It’s brought a lot of credibility to our niche work. Clients feel reassured knowing they’re working with someone recognized at an international level, and it’s opened doors to new collaborations and referrals. It also keeps us motivated to keep learning and pushing for better ways to serve our clients.on elevates our professional credibility, making it easier to win new clients who seek proven, top-tier bookkeeping and advisory services.
Is there anything you would like to share about your 'home life'?:
Outside of work, life is full—in the best way. Jason and I live with our 9-month-old daughter, Saoirse, and our very large (150 lb), very fluffy Bernese Mountain Dog named Bane. We’ve lived in three countries so far, and that immigrant journey is a big part of what drives us to help others build better lives through business. Our downtime—when we can get any—is usually spent with extended family, walking in nature, and soaking up all the toddler giggles.
