YOUR API DATA MATTERS.

OUR PURPOSE

We exist to empower ambitious CPA founders by harnessing the power of their API data.

“We've built companies ourselves, so we know it takes more than capital to succeed. We're here to help you at key moments, focusing on what really matters: building your team, growing your business, understanding data, using new technology, and (perhaps most importantly) telling your story well. We take stories very seriously.”

— Mary Johnson, Founding Partner, Toronto

Our Pillars

  • Built by founders for founders.

    At Ablaze Collective, we believe in the power of founders. Our company was created by founders, for founders, because we know that business isn’t a solo journey. That’s why we’re a collective—success takes a village. Ablaze was born in the vibrant foothills of Calgary, Alberta, to bring the power of Intuit QBO APIs, once reserved for the Big 4 accounting firms, to CPA firms of all sizes. With atomic computing, we unlock hidden data and empower firms with their own API insights. We honor our fintech founder community by offering equity and sharing the wealth, because when founders succeed, we all succeed.

  • We help build the best teams with the best data.

    We understand that great teams are key to any organization’s success, but they also come with challenges. That’s why we’ve developed a powerful management consulting approach focused on learning, community, and harnessing QBO API data to boost your company’s performance. Our Ablaze App uses data and AI from your cloud accounting and finance systems to evaluate teams effectively. Built on original research with atomic computing, it draws from our experience within the QBO app ecosystem and collaborations with industry leaders like Google, Microsoft, Tableau, Qlik, and IBM. Our portfolio includes partnerships with top venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, national CPA firms in Canada, and investments across the Canadian market.

  • We offer diversity of thought and support.

    We are a small firm with a big team. Our founders include a fintech consultant and investor who led enterprise teams at Intuit Quickbooks, and a silent angel investor with a wealth of experience in the VC ecosystem with big data at IBM. Together, our team has not only founded but also scaled and successfully exited software technology companies across Canada and the US. Our network of founding and fractional partners comprises CFOs, software engineers, product development experts, storytelling specialists, data scientists, and sales leaders.

  • Inspiring stories through the power of big data.

    We take stories very seriously. Storytelling in the corporate world is about more than just conveying information; it's about creating meaningful connections, driving engagement, and inspiring action through the power of narrative. By mastering the art of storytelling with your own data, accounting firms an effectively communicate their vision, differentiate their brand, and ultimately drive success in today's competitive market.
