Our Story

Flipping the script on traditional accounting

Pursuit was born out of burnout. Not literally, but close to it.

Most of the accounting industry hasn’t updated its business model in more than a century. For a lot of accountants, that means weekends and hours of overtime when crunch time hits. They work like superheroes, but also like sheep — moving with the crowd, ticking boxes, filing statements and racking-up billable hours during short, manic sprints. It can be planned for, but it’s not efficient or healthy, and it definitely doesn’t make for a good work-life balance. Do you want important business advice from someone who has just finished 55 consecutive 14-hour days?

At Pursuit, that’s what we’ve decided we won’t do. Instead, we’ve decided to be sensible with who we select as clients to ensure we can perform at our peak and provide maximum impact. Do we work like superheroes? For sure. Like Sheep? No way.

It’s not necessary when you have a business model like ours — dedicated professionals working directly with clients to design and execute financial and tax plans that look past annual filing dates into upcoming months and years.

Tim Miron, CPA, CA
Founder/President

Tim graduated from Brock University with a Bachelor of Accounting (co-op) in 2004 and became a Chartered Accountant in 2005. He worked at a regional firm for nearly 10 years before becoming a partner at a large local firm. He was there for eight years before founding Pursuit CPA. His passion is to help entrepreneurs take their businesses to new heights.

Tim lives in Burlington with his wife and three children. His family loves to travel and entertain friends and family whenever possible. Tim is an avid but awful golfer who spends much of his free time working on his game. Unfortunately, the results have, so far, been limited.
