Rodney Maiato is the founder of CDL Accounting Solutions, a 100% remote bookkeeping practice helping Canadian incorporated small businesses keep clean, audit-ready books without the year-end scramble.

He brings 15+ years in accounting — progressing from junior accountant to assistant controller, where he managed a team of 7, oversaw the books of 25+ companies, and ran payroll for 100+ employees across several provinces. He studied accounting at Athabasca University and is a Payroll Compliance Professional (PCP) Candidate with the National Payroll Institute.

Rodney also builds the automation behind CDL, including its text-in receipt intake system — clients text a photo of a receipt to a private number and it’s captured, archived, and synced automatically, no app or password required.

He writes CDL’s articles to give Canadian owner-managers plain-language, properly sourced answers to the bookkeeping and tax questions that cost real money — shareholder loans, salary vs. dividend, GST/HST, year-end, and the rest — the things that should already be explained clearly somewhere, but usually aren’t.
