We are a strategic partner focused on reliable, timely, and affordable financial support for small to mid-sized businesses across Canada.

We understand that financial regulations, reporting demands, and tax obligations can quickly become difficult to manage. That is why we take a proactive approach that helps keep clients compliant while also supporting better decisions, stronger structure, and long-term stability.

Founder and Principal Advisor

Robin DeRidder is the founder and Principal Advisor of Phoenix Knight Financial Services. Based in New Westminster and servicing the Lower Mainland as well as clients across Canada, Robin has developed deep experience delivering tailored financial solutions for businesses in retail, construction, technology, hospitality, and professional services.

That depth of experience helps Phoenix Knight support businesses at different stages of growth, from early setup decisions through ongoing reporting, tax planning, and more complex compliance situations. Robin’s approach is grounded in precision, reliability, affordability, and clear communication so clients always understand what is happening and what comes next.

From new business setup through long-term planning, clients often need connected support rather than isolated services. That is why Phoenix Knight brings together advisory direction, bookkeeping structure, tax work, and software-friendly workflows in one practical relationship.

How We Support Clients

Support at every stage of the business lifecycle

Phoenix Knight Financial Services helps clients move from setup to stability with clear support that fits the real stage of the business, not a one-size-fits-all process.

For New Ventures

Build the right structure from day one

Whether you are starting as a sole proprietor or building toward a corporation, we provide guidance through business incorporation advice so the structure supports what comes next.

For Operational Growth

Support the business behind the daily workload

We help streamline ongoing operations through bookkeeping and financial management, practical reporting, and financial organization that improves day-to-day visibility.

For Future Security

Plan for tax efficiency and long-term health

Robin’s work includes tax and estate planning and broader advisory support designed to improve tax efficiency and strengthen long-term financial direction.

For Complex Situations

Restore order when compliance has become stressful

If filings are late or records have fallen behind, we help with late filing support, corporate tax obligations, and clearer next steps when CRA interactions need to be handled carefully.

Specialized Support

Industry and software knowledge that fits real operations

Some clients need a team that understands more than general accounting. Phoenix Knight supports specialized workflows, industry reporting patterns, and software environments that shape how financial work actually gets done.

Software support that keeps the books usable

Strong accounting systems depend on practical setup, consistent data, and reporting that fits the way the business works.

New Westminster roots with Canada-wide support

Phoenix Knight Financial Services is based in New Westminster and regularly supports clients throughout the Lower Mainland. At the same time, the firm also provides specialized tax and professional services for clients across Canada who need experienced, responsive support with a practical business focus.
