Hébert Marsolais

What Hébert Marsolais does

Hébert Marsolais inc. is a privately held chartered professional accounting (CPA) firm incorporated and operating in Québec, Canada, with its headquarters in Longueuil and a satellite office in Chambly on Montreal's South Shore (Rive-Sud). Founded by CPA auditors Julie Hébert and Éric Marsolais, the firm today operates as a six-partner partnership (all CPA auditors, including one M.Fisc. credentialed partner) and serves small-to-mid-sized businesses and non-profits. The firm's stated practice emphasizes large-firm technical expertise combined with an entrepreneurial, relationship-first culture.

The firm delivers an integrated four-line service suite: certification comptable (audit, examination, compilation, and special reports), comptabilité (bookkeeping, government reporting, internal financial statements), fiscalité (corporate, personal/trust taxation, reorganizations, special mandates), and service-conseil comptable (M&A advisory, due diligence, startup support, financial forecasting). Underlying technology is described as traditional professional services with no proprietary platform, no API, no AI/ML capabilities, and no integrations disclosed; the website (hm-cpa.ca) functions as the primary digital storefront. The firm markets across 15+ verticals including construction, manufacturing, real estate, technology, healthcare, financial services, non-profits, condominium syndicates, transportation, food & beverage, marketing/communications, telecommunications, retail/distribution, events, and fashion/design.

The business model is professional-services-based: revenue is generated through per-engagement mandates, recurring for ongoing bookkeeping and compliance work and episodic for audit and advisory projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement begins with a free initial consultation. Go-to-market is relationship-led via direct phone, website inquiry, and word-of-mouth referrals, with no formal inbound marketing funnel, channel partners, or self-serve product motion. The firm reports 15+ year client retention in some accounts and is recognized by the Ordre des CPA du Québec as a maître de stage for CPA candidate training.
