ABOUT US
Meet Shawn Frair
Founder. Numbers Guy. Trades Ally.
I'm not a tradesperson, but I grew up surrounded by them. My dad was a skilled tradesman. My uncles ran contracting businesses. I learned early on that tradespeople are some of the hardest-working, most misunderstood business owners in the game.
They build homes, solve problems, and keep this country running, but when it comes to bookkeeping and business strategy? They're often stuck guessing.
I built Power Business Services in 2009 to change that.
Who I Am (When I’m Not in the Numbers)
I live in Toronto with my amazing wife and two sons. Outside of Power Business, you’ll usually find me watching my kids compete, reading something I probably highlighted too much, or overanalyzing a new tool I’ll eventually teach my clients how to use.
What We Do
We help contractors get clean, accurate books, and use them to make smarter decisions. Whether you're behind and overwhelmed or ready to scale, we meet you where you're at.
No fluff. No jargon. Just practical financial systems, strategic advice, and a reliable back office you can trust.
Why We’re Different
We use the Pure Bookkeeping System, which means your books are clean, consistent, and CRA-ready, every time. Every member of our team passes a rigorous training and testing process before touching client work.
You don’t get “a bookkeeper.” You get a battle-tested system and a support partner who’s as invested in your business as you are.
Our Core Values
-
Straight Talk: You’ll always know where you stand
-
Balance: Your business should serve your life, not swallow it
-
Consistency: Systems over stress
-
Continual Improvement: Always sharpening the tools
-
Integrity: We mean what we say, and we do what we promise
Want to Work Together?
