Bankeo and the Quebec City CDEC announce a partnership to facilitate access to accounting services for social economy businesses

Quebec City, April 18, 2023 - Bankeo and the Quebec City CDEC are proud to announce their partnership to make the Bankeo.ca platform available to CDEC members and social economy enterprises. This user-friendly, no-cost web platform allows organizations of all types to find their ideal accountant.

Bankeo, a small company founded in Quebec City, aims to revolutionize the world of finance by deploying a platform that powers the relationship between entrepreneurs or managers and their ideal accountant. Bankeo.ca brings together a vast network of available and certified accounting specialists. Much more than a web platform, it is a relationship-building tool that offers a personalized approach based on an understanding of the needs of organizations and entrepreneurs. This approach makes Bankeo an important ally for businesses and organizations that want to find the right partner to facilitate their financial management and maximize their potential impact.

"In the current context, a growing number of small businesses, particularly NPOs, are having difficulty finding available and competent accounting specialists who understand their reality. The partnership with Bankeo allows the CDEC to offer a concrete response to this issue, which is frequently raised by the organizations we support. This partnership will help members and social entrepreneurs ensure sound financial management of their organization so they can better focus on their mission and maximize their potential impact," said Isabelle Gilbert, Executive Director of the Quebec City CEDC.

"Finance is anxiety-provoking and time-consuming if organizations do not work with the right partners. We believe that a project can only reach its full potential if the right accountant accompanies them. Our collaboration with the CDEC aims to do just that. NPOs, cooperatives and small local businesses have particular needs in terms of financial management. By giving them access to the right resources, we help support their development by having a positive impact on our community. It was therefore natural for Bankeo to participate in what the CDEC so aptly calls "The Collective Impact Factory," said Arnaud Bertrand, CEO of Bankeo.
