At Square One, we help incorporated professionals and business owners take control of their finances so they can save time, money, and be confident in navigating the ever-evolving business landscape.
My passion for supporting people with financial health began at a young age when a distressing family emergency forced me to take charge of a financial situation.
As the daughter of first-generation immigrants to Canada, my family fell into great financial stress when my father, rushed to intensive care, suffered a massive heart attack where he awaited triple bypass surgery. The road to recovery was long, and the financial impact this had on my family was significant. I quickly took over the responsibility of figuring out resources, researching, preparing, and sending applications.
At a young age, I experienced how this life event would hugely affect our finances and saw firsthand the importance of financial literacy and planning. I also realized and was intuitive to the compassionate nature of the situation and had a natural knack for navigating through this.
As an adult, I came to appreciate the influence of the strong female lead I had growing up – my mother Jamile. She skillfully navigated what I now know to be the world of cash flow. With hard work, planning, budgeting, and cash-flow management, my mom naturally managed finances for our family of ten (yes – 10!). She managed to keep our home running smoothly with their limited resources and somehow had a rainy-day fund for every broken appliance, car repair, birthday, wedding, or graduation gift.
I founded Square One to bridge the gaps in traditional accounting practices offering a personalized, integrated, and collaborative approach to true financial well-being.
