Christine Campbell — From Solo Bookkeeper to Profit Coach: Building C. Campbell Agency

A founder who turned bookkeeping into a movement

Christine Campbell launched C. Campbell Agency in 2014 with a simple conviction: bookkeeping should free entrepreneurs to run their businesses, not trap them in paperwork. What began as a solo practice has evolved into a purpose-driven, all-women team that serves clients across B.C. and online. Christine’s leadership blends technical excellence with a people-first approach, and she has made financial clarity and profit coaching central to the firm’s mission.

The founder’s journey: grit, credibility and community

Christine’s path to entrepreneurship combined hands-on industry experience with community leadership. Early on, she had to convince business owners that bookkeeping is an investment, not an expense. She persisted—educating clients, refining processes, and demonstrating how accurate books improve profitability and decision-making. Over time she built credibility through consistent delivery and community involvement, turning skeptics into long-term clients and collaborators. Today, she works side-by-side with her daughters and a skilled team, creating a legacy of mentorship and impact.

About the business: services built for busy owners

C. Campbell Agency provides full-service bookkeeping, payroll, tax filing, QuickBooks Online setup and training, and profit coaching. The agency focuses on trades and service-based businesses—plumbers, carpenters, electricians and mechanics—offering packages that produce clean, CRA-ready books and free owners to grow their companies.

Core services:

• Full bookkeeping and reconciliations.

• Payroll processing, T4/T4A and ROE filings.

• GST/PST remittances and tax-filing support.

• QuickBooks Online setup, migration and owner training.

• Profit coaching and the “Know Your Numbers” 21-day program.

What sets the agency apart

C. Campbell Agency balances compliance with empowerment. Beyond accurate transactions, the firm teaches clients to read their numbers, adjust money mindsets, and make data-driven decisions. The team’s approachable, women-led model makes finance less intimidating and builds long-term trust. Tailored expertise for the trades—such as WCB and subcontractor tracking—gives the agency a distinct market edge.

Scaling a people-first practice

Growing from a solo operator to a multi-person, virtual firm presented recruitment, training, and systems challenges. Christine invested in team development and workplace culture: a four-day work week, profit-sharing, and mentoring that foster retention and performance. Her daughter-led leadership model also signals a commitment to intergenerational opportunity and work-life balance.

Proof in performance

Clients report measurable results: cleaner books, fewer missed deductions, time saved, and greater confidence in financial decisions. The agency’s QuickBooks training packages and catch-up bookkeeping services are explicitly designed to move small businesses from chaos to control—often within months.

Voices that matter

“Christine delivers excellent work and goes far beyond the expected duties. She is always on time, is very reliable and her work is far above average.”— Rolf Papsdorf, President, Zolair Energy Ltd.

“Bookkeeping helped me stop chasing invoices and get hours back in my week.”— Client testimonial.

Community, recognition and innovation

Christine is active in regional business groups, having served as Chair of the Squamish Chamber of Commerce and founder of the Squamish Business Mentors Group. She is an Elite Pro Advisor for QuickBooks Online and a member of the Certified Professional Bookkeepers of Canada. Her public-facing programs, including Christine Campbell Profit Coach and the Know Your Numbers course, extend the agency’s impact beyond compliance into financial education.

Advice for women entrepreneurs

Christine’s counsel is pragmatic: believe in your value, take steady steps, and build a supportive circle. She stresses that entrepreneurship is as much about legacy as revenue—creating opportunity for the next generation and modeling leadership for her daughters.
