We sit down with Gordon Holley, co-founder and advisor of Humanity Financial Management Inc., to discuss the firm's pioneering journey as Canada's first accounting firm to become a Benefit Company. Gordon shares insights into their mission to enhance the financial capacity and credibility of charities, non-profits, First Nations, and Indigenous organizations. We delve into Humanity Financial's commitment to social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic inclusion, and explore how their status as a Certified B Corporation and a Certified Caring Company reflects their dedication to using business as a force for good.

He excels at providing financial oversight to small to mid-size NFPOs and charities, to help them better manage their internal finances and financial budgeting and reporting.
