About

Over the past decade I have developed a strong appreciation for the many moving parts of successful businesses. Breeze Business Management is an accumulation of the skills that I have fine-tuned throughout my professional working experience in Toronto and Muskoka. Combining insight from multiple disciplines and industries including the arts, trades, retail, not-for-profit, and social enterprise sectors, I bring a unique skillset to clients and have a strong passion for solving problems. As a QuickBooks® Online ProAdvisor (who spends a disturbing amount of time in the software) I can confidently say there is no QuickBooks® Online issue we cannot resolve. Team Breeze services are curated accounting services depending on the needs of our clients including full accounting services including AR, AP, collections support, payroll, government remittances, cashflow planning / projections, budgeting and more. Over the last two years, in partnership with a Canadian software developer, Breeze has designed and launched several virtual accounting softwares including Breeze Accounting Club, Breeze Data Bunker and Breeze Dynamic Data in an effort to offer a simplified virtual forensic accounting software option to its clients. Breeze Accounting Club is in year two (2) and is designed to be a a simple accounting option for those uncomfortable with cloud-accounting and for those who cannot afford both the accounting software and the accounting software expert these days. Clients using this software properly can expect to cut their accounting costs in half. In addition to our Breeze "Team services", I also provide professional services including QBO Consulting, QBO Soft-Audit and Repair, Small Business Consulting and Grant Writing services. More about J'aime: I grew up in the rural haven of Huntsville, Ontario before I relocated to Toronto in 2013 where I gained critical behind-the-scenes work experience with a number of high-profile creative businesses specializing in the music industry. Ventures have included television commercial work, successful applications for provincial grants (grossing more than $500K), business management for some of Canada’s best export artists and a cherished stint with CIRAA (The Canadian Independent Recording Artists' Association) as their Director of Member Services before the association sadly dissolved in 2016. In 2018, I moved back to Muskoka, founded The Snow Lake Initiative, a social enterprise that existed (pre-covid) to support my fellow creative artists across Canada and in 2020, I founded Breeze Business Management.
