Core offering

Hub6 is a multidisciplinary professional services firm that supplies SMEs (PMEs) with an integrated team of experts in legal, accounting, and human resources as an alternative to hiring full-time in-house professionals. Its advisors work directly inside the client's systems, tools, and email to deliver commercial contracts, corporate structuring, cloud accounting, payroll, tax preparation, HR compliance, and digital transformation services. Core engagements are sold as recurring service packages, with additional project-based mandates for digital modernization and financing rounds.

Product overview

Hub6 is a multidisciplinary professional services firm that offers SMEs an integrated alternative to hiring in-house professionals. The company provides a complete team of experts across three core services: Legal Department (contracts, corporate structure, compliance, governance), Accounting and Finance (cloud accounting, payroll, tax preparation, financial reporting), and Human Resources Employer Support (compliance, policies, conflict management). These core services are supplemented by two specialized modules: International Subsidiaries (for companies establishing operations in Quebec) and Digital Transformation (cloud migration, process automation, digital training). Hub6 integrates directly into clients' existing systems and processes, positioning its professionals as an extension of the client's internal team.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• BDO Canada: BDO Canada is a large national accounting and advisory firm with deep SME coverage across Canada. It competes with Hub6 for SME accounting, tax, and advisory work, but is far broader in scope and lacks Hub6's integrated legal + HR + accounting single-team model.
• MNP LLP: MNP is one of Canada's largest accounting and business advisory firms, with strong Quebec presence and a focus on owner-managed and SME clients. It offers integrated services similar to Hub6 but at significantly greater scale and brand recognition.
• KPMG Canada: KPMG is a Big 4 firm with significant Quebec operations and a dedicated SME and private enterprise practice. It competes for larger SME mandates in accounting, tax, and advisory; Hub6 differentiates through embedded, integrated legal + HR delivery that Big 4 firms do not replicate at the lower SME tier.
• Robert Half: Robert Half is a large staffing and professional services firm providing outsourced accounting, finance, and HR talent. It overlaps with Hub6's outsourced-team model for SMEs, though at a more transactional staffing level rather than integrated legal + accounting + HR advisory.

Emerging players

• Pilot.com: Pilot is a US-based outsourced bookkeeping, accounting, and CFO services provider for startups and SMBs, with a tech-enabled service model. It mirrors Hub6's positioning of delivering finance functions as an embedded service rather than as software, though it does not bundle legal or HR.
• Bench.co: Bench is an outsourced bookkeeping and financial reporting service for small businesses, combining software with dedicated accountants. It is comparable to Hub6's accounting and finance module in its outsourced-SME model, though it does not provide legal or HR.
• Deel: Deel is a global HR, payroll, and compliance platform for international companies and distributed teams. It overlaps with Hub6's International Subsidiaries HR/payroll and HR compliance modules, and represents a tech-enabled competitive threat for cross-border SME payroll work.
• Gusto: Gusto is a payroll, HR, and benefits platform built for SMBs in the US. It competes with Hub6's HR and payroll modules as a software-first alternative; Hub6 counters with embedded human advisors rather than self-serve SaaS.

Direct peers

• 1-800Accountant: 1-800Accountant provides outsourced accounting, tax, payroll, and advisory services to SMBs across North America. It directly overlaps with Hub6's accounting and finance module and targets a similar SME client profile, though Hub6 adds legal and HR.

Regional players

• Richter LLP: Richter is a Montreal-based business advisory and accounting firm serving mid-market and high-growth companies. It competes with Hub6 for Quebec SME and mid-market accounting and advisory mandates, with stronger transaction/advisory depth but a less integrated legal/HR offering.
