A new chapter for CDC Bookkeeping: Our refreshed Mission, Vision, and Values

When Charidy Clubbe founded CDC Bookkeeping over 25 years ago, her goal wasn't simply to provide bookkeeping services. She wanted to build a company that business owners could trust—a financial partner that would bring clarity, reduce stress, and help them feel confident about their finances. She believed that when business owners had accurate financial information and someone they could rely on, they could spend less time worrying about their books and more time growing the businesses they were passionate about. Since then CDC has grown into one of Saskatchewan's largest bookkeeping firms.

Today, we’re much more than one person. We’re an incredible team who show up every day because we genuinely care about the people behind the numbers, not just the numbers themselves. We’re a company that’s just as focused on empowering our own people as we are on empowering our clients. That's why we support our team's professional development through conferences and the Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB) designation: when our people grow, our clients feel it too.

So, with our continued nationwide expansion, we wanted to revisit our mission, vision, and values — not to change who we are, but to better reflect who we've become, and where we're headed next. 

Here's what we landed on.

Our Vision

Empowering businesses to thrive with financial clarity and confidence.

We envision a future where businesses have access to expert financial management solutions that simplify their operations and drive sustainable growth. At CDC Bookkeeping, our vision is not just about growth for ourselves — it's about helping our clients across Canada reach their full potential by removing the financial stress and empowering them to focus on what they do best.

We are committed to maintaining the personal, client-first approach that has made us a trusted partner for businesses. We are dedicated to continuously evolving with the latest technologies and financial strategies, ensuring that our clients benefit from cutting-edge solutions delivered with integrity and care.

This vision is our destination. Our mission is how we get there, day to day.

Our Mission

To provide clarity, peace of mind, and expert financial management, helping businesses succeed and grow.

Our mission is simple: we take the complexity out of financial management so that our clients can focus on their business. By offering personalized, technology-driven bookkeeping, payroll, and consulting services, we ensure that every client's finances are in order and aligned with their goals.

We are more than just bookkeepers. We are strategic partners who provide the expertise, accuracy, and trust that businesses need to make informed decisions, improve profitability, and stay compliant with CRA deadlines. At CDC Bookkeeping, our mission is to remove financial headaches, giving our clients the clarity and confidence they need to drive success.

At its core, CDC has never just been about bookkeeping. It's about helping business owners breathe a little easier, feel more confident, and get back to focusing on what they do best. When you work with CDC, you get more than a bookkeeper - you get a financial partner. By building real, trusted relationships, we provide the peace of mind to allow you to focus on all the other demands of running a business.

Underpinning both our vision and mission is how we actually show up for clients, day in and day out — the values that guide every interaction. That care extends beyond our clients, too: every month, our team supports a different local charity, from Canadian Blood Services and the Canadian Cancer Society to the SPCA.

Our Values

Calm in the Chaos

We are professional service providers who bring stability, clarity, and confidence when finances feel overwhelming. This helps our clients regain control and focus on what matters most.

Clarity to Action

We act as business partners who turn complex financial information into clear, actionable insights. We leverage technology and smart processes to deliver efficiency and real value.

Human-First

We lead with empathy and recognize that behind every set of books is a business owner balancing competing priorities. We meet our clients where they are and support them without judgment.

None of this is new for us. These are the same principles that carried CDC from its early days at a kitchen table in Saskatoon to where we are today — a team of professionals across the country who care as much about our clients' peace of mind as we do about their books. We've simply put those principles into words that better reflect where we're going next. Because while our mission, vision, and values have evolved, the heart of CDC hasn't. We've always believed bookkeeping is about people first — our clients and our team alike — and that will continue to guide everything we do.
