About BRIKC
BRIKC was founded in 2013 by Samantha Smith to help small and mid-sized businesses build strong financial foundations and make confident, informed decisions. After years of working closely with business owners, Samantha recognized a common challenge: many businesses were operating without clear financial visibility, reliable systems, or strategic guidance to support sustainable growth.
BRIKC was created to fill that gap.
Over the years, BRIKC has worked with businesses across a wide range of industries, including construction, professional services, retail, film, photography, high-end automotive, IT, First Nations–owned businesses, and brokerage firms. The firm brings deep experience in project-based accounting, cash flow management, and operational finance, helping clients improve profitability, strengthen internal processes, and gain control over their financial picture.
At its core, BRIKC sits at the intersection of accountant, strategist, and entrepreneur. The work goes far beyond bookkeeping. It involves understanding how a business truly functions, identifying patterns that impact cash flow and decision-making, and translating financial data into insight. This approach allows business owners to move from reacting to numbers toward using them as a strategic tool.
Through its Fractional Controller and CFO-level support, BRIKC partners with business owners who want more than basic reporting. The focus is on providing clarity, foresight, and informed guidance to support growth, scaling, and long-term stability. This includes improving financial structure, strengthening internal controls, supporting leadership decisions, and helping businesses prepare for the next stage of growth.
Samantha brings a hands-on, experience-driven perspective shaped by years of working directly with business owners. Her strength lies in pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and the ability to simplify complex financial information into clear, actionable insights. She has also supported clients in developing
business plans and securing grant funding by translating vision into financially sound strategy.
At BRIKC, the belief is simple: strong financial leadership creates confident businesses. When owners understand their numbers and have the right systems in place, they gain clarity, control, and the freedom to grow with intention.

Our Approach
At BRIKC, we believe strong businesses are built on clarity, not complexity. Our approach is practical, thoughtful, and rooted in real-world experience. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems or forcing businesses into rigid frameworks that don’t reflect how they actually operate.
​
We take the time to understand each client’s business from the inside out. That means looking beyond the numbers to understand workflows, decision-making patterns, cash flow habits, and growth goals. From there, we help create systems that make sense, support day-to-day operations, and allow leadership to make confident, informed decisions.
We focus on building clean, reliable financials that tell a clear story. This includes improving processes, strengthening internal controls, and creating reporting that is both accurate and useful. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s clarity, consistency, and sustainability.
​
BRIKC also believes education is part of good financial stewardship. We work collaboratively with clients, explaining the “why” behind the numbers so they can better understand their business and make smarter choices long-term. This empowers business owners to move from reactive decision-making to intentional growth.
At every stage, our work is grounded in practicality, transparency, and respect for the realities of running a business. We meet clients where they are and help them build a financial foundation that supports where they want to go.
