VCG

What VCG does

VCG LLP (also operating as VCG S.E.N.C.R.L.) is a privately held CPA accounting and business advisory firm headquartered at 1155 Metcalfe Street, Floor 15, Montreal, Quebec. Founded in 2021 by CPAs Eric Cohen and Saïd Georges and expanded to a three-partner firm in 2023 with the addition of Annie Kapraelian, the firm operates as a fully virtual, cloud-based, and paperless practice serving owner-managed businesses, family businesses, start-ups, and small to medium-sized business owners primarily in Montreal and surrounding areas. All services are delivered remotely, with no physical client meetings, and the firm maintains a headcount of nine employees including the three partners.

The firm delivers four integrated practice areas: Accounting Services (bookkeeping, payroll processing and remittances, governmental filings), Assurance Services (review and compilation engagements, corporate and personal tax returns, estate and tax planning), Consulting Services (cryptocurrency advisory, budgets and forecasts, cash flow projections, business advisory, and Virtual CFO services), and Start-Up Services (full-suite incorporation, government registration, cloud-accounting setup, and government/bank financing support). The underlying technology stack is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms: QuickBooks Online, in which VCG holds Elite ProAdvisor status; WagePoint for payroll; and VeriFyle for secure document sharing with individual encryption keys and CRA-accepted electronic signatures.

VCG's revenue model combines recurring subscription-style accounting and bookkeeping engagements with project-based professional services for assurance, tax, advisory, and start-up work. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is sales-led and primarily digital, relying on the firm's website (vcgllp.com) and LinkedIn presence, with services delivered entirely through direct virtual engagement. The firm holds no external funding, operates with no parent company, and competes in the highly fragmented Quebec SMB accounting market primarily on the basis of partner-level expertise, a differentiated virtual operating model, and bundled cloud-based service delivery.
