September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day.

Today, we pause to honour the Survivors of residential schools, their families, and the children who never made it home. It is a day for quiet reflection, deep listening, and recognizing the ongoing, intergenerational impacts on Indigenous communities across Turtle Island.

Reconciliation is not a single date on the calendar, nor is it a symbolic gesture. It is an everyday commitment to learning the truth, honouring lived experiences, and taking meaningful action to build a better future together.

As an Indigenous-owned firm, our hearts are with our communities, Elders, and families today. We invite everyone to wear orange, listen to Survivors' stories, and reflect on how we can all walk this path forward together.

Most organizations struggle with policy access, not policy problems. 🤯 Outdated binders, conflicting rules, and uninformed decisions can lead to financial missteps. 📊 Simplify your financial policies by listing, updating, and rewriting them in plain language. 💡 When was your last policy review? 📆 We can help. Contact us at [email protected] to discuss. 📨

Financial reports should clarify decisions, not complicate them.

When leadership or Chief and Council receive dense, overly technical statements, it becomes difficult to spot what really matters. Numbers only tell a useful story when everyone in the room understands what they mean.

Translating complex accounting data into plain-language summaries gives leaders total clarity. It allows teams to ask better questions, make confident choices, and keep discussions focused on community priorities.

Reach out to us if you want financial reporting that is clear, accessible, and built for your decision-makers.

September brings a natural reset for offices and leadership teams across the country.

As teams return from summer schedules, it is the perfect opportunity to review financial goals before the year-end rush begins. Taking time now to look at budget forecasts, check project spending, and refresh daily workflows gives your finance team room to breathe.

Getting ahead of budget season in the fall prevents last-minute scrambles and ensures leadership has clear, reliable numbers when making choices for the months ahead.

Reach out to us if you want to set your team up for a smooth fall season and build a solid financial foundation.

Every brand name carries a story, and ours comes directly from who we are and how we work.

The name Urban Cree represents bridging two worlds. "Urban" speaks to the modern, CPA-led business environment we navigate every day. "Cree" grounds us in our identity, our lived experiences, and our commitment to values like respect, reciprocity, and community.

Our logo reflects that same balance. The design brings together clean, modern structure with traditional connection, showing that professional financial standards and Indigenous values belong in the same room.

We built this firm to help Indigenous organizations navigate complex systems with confidence while staying true to who they are.

Reach out to us to learn more about our approach and how we can support your team.

🔴 Did you know? Under Canadian Auditing Standards, management is responsible for preparing financial statements, not auditors. We fill the gap by working on the management side, preparing statements, schedules, and working papers, so your auditor stays independent and your finance office owns the numbers.
