The Path to Automation
Automating an owner-managed business entails more than purchasing a new piece of equipment. The most successful transition requires a careful analysis of the existing production process, an understanding of where and when change is required, staged rather than wholesale transition, targeting repetitive employee tasks that can be automated, integration of production changes with business systems, involvement of employees and outside experts, and owner metamorphosis from micromanager to business manager.
In 2018, many owner-managers across Canada chose to adjust staff levels, wages and prices when the minimum wage was increased. For many, it is still too early to determine the final impact on the corporate bottom line as a full fiscal year has not been completed.
Every owner-manager has experienced new employees enthusiastically jumping head-first into the task at hand — only to see that enthusiasm for their job morph into complacency over time.

Testimonial
Two years ago we switched our accounting and taxes to Warren from an accountant located in Langley. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Warren found multiple mistakes in our previous year's financial statements and fixed them quickly. It is great as a small business owner to have someone I can trust to give me reliable tax and accounting advice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Warren and the staff of Towler & Associates, CPAs.
