Prairie CPA Group

Prairie CPA Group is a boutique accounting practice based in Calgary, Alberta, founded in 2015 to serve the unique financial needs of the energy sector and the city's growing technology startup ecosystem. Our founding partners spent years working in Big Four accounting firms before starting Prairie CPA Group with a mission: deliver senior-level expertise with the personal attention and responsiveness that only a smaller firm can provide. We work with oil and gas operators, service companies, and technology startups at every stage — from pre-revenue seed companies to established firms preparing for acquisition or IPO. For our oil and gas clients, we provide specialized accounting for joint venture operations, royalty accounting, capital cost allowance calculations specific to the resource sector, and complex corporate tax planning that accounts for the volatility of commodity-linked revenue. For technology startups, we offer fractional CFO services, SR&ED tax credit claims, cap table management support, financial modeling for fundraising rounds, and guidance through Scientific Research and Experimental Development documentation requirements — helping founders access non-dilutive government funding they might otherwise miss. Our business valuation practice supports clients through mergers and acquisitions, shareholder disputes, estate planning, and succession transitions, using recognized valuation methodologies accepted by the CRA and courts. We believe great accounting is more than compliance — it's a strategic partnership. That's why every client is paired with a dedicated CPA who understands their industry, their growth trajectory, and their long-term goals.
