Twenty Eighty

Twenty Eighty is a Calgary-based accounting firm founded in 2014 that provides comprehensive financial services to small businesses, with specialized expertise in cryptocurrency and NFT accounting. The company has built a reputation for delivering proactive, future-focused financial advisory that goes beyond traditional bookkeeping.

Core Services

Twenty Eighty offers an end-to-end managed finance function that includes bookkeeping, accounting, tax services, controllership, and CFO services. Unlike traditional accounting firms that provide "the bare minimum," the company positions itself as a true financial partner that actively collaborates with clients on strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management.

Service Philosophy

The firm's approach is built on three core beliefs: that small business accounting should be more valuable and proactive, that businesses should always have forward-looking financial plans, and that founders and entrepreneurs should be able to focus on what they love rather than getting bogged down in financial details. This philosophy is reflected in the company name "Twenty Eighty," a reference to the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule), emphasizing the belief that when everyone focuses on their strengths, disproportionate value can be created.

Web3 and Cryptocurrency Expertise

Twenty Eighty has developed specialized expertise in serving cryptocurrency and NFT businesses, listed prominently among their industry experience alongside tech startups, energy services, professional services, veterinary practices, fitness franchises, and non-profits. This Web3 focus makes them particularly valuable for blockchain companies navigating the complex accounting and tax requirements of digital assets.

Team and Recognition

The company employs a team of 11-50 professionals, including CPAs, CFAs, and experienced bookkeepers. In 2024, Twenty Eighty was awarded the Xero Partner Award for "Large Firm of the Year" in Canada, recognizing their excellence in cloud accounting and financial advisory. The firm has recently expanded ownership to include three senior team members (Valerie as Head of Bookkeeping, Ayna as Head of Controllership, and Adam as Head of CFO Services), demonstrating their commitment to shared leadership and entrepreneurial culture.

Technology and Delivery

Twenty Eighty leverages cloud accounting technology (Xero platform) to provide real-time financial insights and collaborate effectively with clients. Their services are delivered remotely, with transparent, fixed-fee monthly pricing. The firm's business model is built on deep, long-term relationships where dedicated teams get to know each client's business goals and challenges intimately.

Why Choose Twenty Eighty

For Web3 companies and small businesses seeking more than basic compliance work, Twenty Eighty offers a unique combination of technical accounting expertise, industry-specific knowledge (especially in cryptocurrency and NFTs), and proactive strategic advisory. Their focus on budgets, forecasts, and financial planning helps businesses not just track where they've been, but plan where they're going—a critical capability for fast-moving blockchain and technology companies.
