Roger Essome

MSc Finance QuickBooks ProAdvisor Former Public Company CFO

Roger Essome brings over 15 years of senior financial experience — including roles at Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and PwC — to every client engagement at Safer Transitions.

As the former CFO of a publicly listed company on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Roger has managed the financial complexity that comes with rapid growth, regulatory scrutiny, and investor reporting. He built Safer Transitions to bring that same institutional-grade financial discipline to Quebec's small and mid-sized businesses.

His approach is direct: understand your numbers, eliminate waste, optimize your tax position, and build the financial infrastructure your business needs to scale. No jargon, no unnecessary complexity — just clear, actionable financial guidance.

Our Philosophy

How we work

Radical Transparency

You always know exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it costs. No hidden fees, no vague reports, no surprises.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We don't wait for tax season to find problems. We review your numbers monthly and flag issues before they become expensive.

Business-First Thinking

We think like business owners, not just accountants. Every recommendation is filtered through one question: does this help your business grow?

Institutional Discipline

The same rigour we applied at Deloitte, EY, and PwC — applied to your business. Your books are prepared to the same standard as a public company.
