ABOUT RILEY FAA

Clarity, partnership, and financial confidence.

Dependable bookkeeping and accounting every month, and CFO-level guidance when it's time to grow — for the owner-led contractors who build and service Ontario's homes.

OUR STORY

Why we started
Riley FAA.

Marquise Riley founded Riley Financial Accounting Advisory after years in assurance at a global accounting firm. He saw how much clearer decisions became when owners had accurate numbers and someone to talk them through — and how rarely smaller, owner-led companies had either.

Riley FAA exists to close that gap: dependable bookkeeping and accounting every month, and CFO-level guidance when it's time to grow.

WHY RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION

Built for the businesses that build homes.

Over 90% of homebuilders, remodelers and traditional skilled trades are classified as small businesses in Canada. Many of them are owner-operated, running their companies on books that can't keep up with how the work actually happens. Jobs overlap, costs land weeks after the work, clients pay in draws and holdbacks restrain cash that's already been earned.

Fewer than 50% of construction companies survive beyond their third year in business, and 84% never make it past 10 years. Our first clients at Riley FAA were in the construction industry and we have been hooked ever since. Meeting the owners of these vital small businesses inspires us to create and deliver the solutions they need to beat the odds.

We set your books up by job, keep them current and turn them into reports that answer the questions owners actually ask: which jobs made money, which parts of the jobs are problem areas, what adjustments are needed to move toward profitability and positive cash flow, and how to ensure your business is a source of joy and pride, rather than stress.
