Your future is Now
NowCPA was born from watching business owners lose their freedom to the very thing meant to support it — their finances. Endless bookkeeping, filing deadlines, and uncertainty about the numbers were stealing their time, energy, and peace of mind.
We started NowCPA to give that back. We take the time-consuming work off your plate, handle your filings, make your financial position clear, and help you make confident decisions — with year-round support at predictable, fixed rates.
What makes us different
Regulated CPAs, real strategy
We're Chartered Professional Accountants who go beyond bookkeeping to give you genuine strategic guidance — with the accountability that comes with the designation.
An owner's mindset
We think like business owners and are genuinely invested in your success. We're proactive, not reactive — spotting issues before they become problems.
We teach, we don't gatekeep
We explain the 'why' behind the numbers and build your confidence, instead of keeping you in the dark or talking over your head.
Tech-forward and efficient
We use modern tools like QBO, Xero, and Zapier to work efficiently and keep you in the loop year-round — not just at tax time.
Meet the founders
Byron Johnson
Co-Founder · MSc, CPA, CA
Byron's finance background runs deep — he's worked as both a controller and an investment advisor, and earned the Award of Excellence from the Canadian Securities Institute. What he enjoys most is the bigger picture: helping owners see around corners, plan ahead, and feel genuinely in control of their finances. Outside the office he's a devoted family man — seven kids, most now grown, with grandkids keeping things lively — and a lifelong movie buff.
Jonathan McClung
Co-Founder · CPA
Jonathan sees accounting as a blend of counseling, teaching, and technology, and loves using all three to make working with NowCPA simple. With a real passion for business, he's at his best helping owners cut through complexity and make clear, confident decisions. He started university in music before finding his calling as a CPA — fitting, for someone as comfortable with people as he is with the numbers. Away from the desk, his four kids keep him happily busy.
