— ABOUT THE FIRM
A Professional Corporation Built on Precision and Integrity
Johnathan Fennema Professional Corporation is a Chartered Professional Accountant practice based in Jordan, Ontario. The corporation was established to give owner-managed businesses and individuals access to the same calibre of accounting, tax and advisory work found at larger firms — without the layers of bureaucracy or the impersonal service that so often comes with them.
The practice is led by a Chartered Professional Accountant with more than eight years in public accounting. That experience was earned at mid-sized firms serving small business owners across a broad range of industries, which is where the firm’s practical, owner-focused approach was formed.
Today the firm works with incorporated professionals, trades, retailers, hospitality operators, landlords and family businesses throughout the Niagara Region and across Ontario. Every engagement is handled under CPA Ontario standards and delivered directly by the principal of the firm.
Our Mission
To give businesses owners accounting they can rely on – accurate, timely, and explained in plain language, so decisions are made with confidence rather than guesswork
Our Values
The corporation operates on integrity, respect and honesty. Clients are treated as partners, deadlines are treated as commitments, and advice is given straight – even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
Our Background
A Bachelors of Accounting (2021) and Mastery of Accountancy (2022) from Brock University, followed by the CPA Common Final Examination and formal designation in 2022. Public practice experience was built at mid-sized Ontario firms before this corporation was established.
— OUR SERVICES
Complete accounting support, under
one professional roof.
Six core service areas cover the full lifecycle of an owner-managed business — from day-to-day
bookkeeping and compliance through to year-end tax filing, planning and strategic advisory.
Corporate Tax
Complete corporate tax compliance for incorporated businesses, prepared by a designated CPA and filed accurately the first time.
Bookkeeping & Accounting
Reliable monthly and quarterly bookkeeping that keeps your records clean, current and ready for any lender or investor conversation.
Personal Tax
Personal returns prepared with the same attention to detail we bring to corporate files, including the situations most software misses.
Tax Planning
Proactive, year-round strategies that reduce tax exposure before the year closes instead of explaining it afterward.
Government Filings
Stay current with every federal and provincial obligation without tracking deadlines yourself or risking avoidable penalties.
Business Advisory
Practical guidance for owners making real decisions — incorporating, growing, borrowing, hiring or planning for what comes next.

— FAQ
Questions we hear
most.
Straight answers on how the firm works, what engagements look like, and how fees are handled. Still unsure about something? Ask directly.
A Chartered Professional Accountant is regulated, holds a professional designation and is bound by a code of conduct and continuing education requirements. Working with a CPA means your filings are prepared to a professional standard, your advice carries accountability, and you have a practitioner who can represent you before the Canada Revenue Agency.
The office is based in Jordan, Ontario, and most clients are within the Niagara Region and the broader Golden Horseshoe. That said, bookkeeping, tax preparation and advisory work are delivered remotely as well, so the firm works with clients across Ontario without difficulty.
Not at all, and it is more common than you would think. Catch-up bookkeeping is a routine engagement. Records are reconstructed, reconciled and brought current, and we will map out a schedule so you know exactly where the clean-up stands at each stage.
Fees are quoted before work begins, based on the scope and complexity of the engagement rather than billed by the hour without warning. Recurring bookkeeping is offered at a fixed monthly rate, and annual tax work is quoted as a flat fee once the file has been reviewed.
It depends on your income level, how you plan to pay yourself, and what you intend to do with retained earnings. This is one of the most common questions we handle. A short consultation is usually enough to give you a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
The firm works with the major cloud accounting platforms used by Canadian small businesses, and can also work from your existing desktop records. If you are not on a system yet, we will recommend and set up the right one for your operation.
Book a consultation or send a message through the contact form. You will get a reply within one business day. The first conversation is a no-obligation review of your situation, where we outline what needs to be done and what it will cost.
