Guided by our core values of honesty, integrity, and dependability, we deliver clean, consistent financials business owners can trust. Our proven monthly process gives clients the clarity to make confident decisions — while freeing up time to focus on what they do best. We take care of the numbers, so you don’t have to.

Helping Small Business Owners Grow with Confidence

At Upscale Financial, we’re on a mission to make bookkeeping simple, clear, and stress-free for service-based small businesses across Alberta and beyond.

Founded by Marcus Bustamante — a University of Alberta finance graduate and former small business owner — we understand firsthand how overwhelming finances can feel when you’re trying to grow something on your own.

Our Values: Honesty, Integrity & Dependability

You’ll always know what you're paying for, what to expect, and where your books stand. We take pride in:

  • Transparent pricing with no surprises

  • Clear expectations from day one

  • Delivering accurate monthly financials

  • Timely communication whenever we need something

  • Support you can count on year-round

We’re client-first, results-focused, and built for business owners who want someone reliable behind the numbers.

Our Clients

We specialize in service-based businesses making between $100,000 and $3 million in revenue — especially those with small teams (1–10 people) and no inventory to manage.

Some examples of the clients we serve:

  • Hair salon owners

  • Landscaping businesses

  • Home service businesses

  • Photographers

  • Freelance consultants

  • Coaches and personal trainers

If you're bringing in strong income but bookkeeping is the last thing on your mind — we’re here to help you get caught up, stay organized, and stay focused on growing.

Founder Story

Before starting Upscale Financial, Marcus ran an Edmonton based snow cone business and saw just how quickly receipts pile up, QuickBooks gets ignored, and tax season turns into a panic. That experience, combined with his academic background in commerce and finance, sparked a deep commitment to helping other entrepreneurs stay on top of their books — and in control of their business.

“I believe empowering small businesses with accurate, reliable, and stress-free remote bookkeeping is essential — so they can grow with clarity, confidence, and control.”
