Who We Are

We are the people who are as invested in your success as you are.

For the Notion Five team, 1+1 has always equalled more.

Inspired by the mathematician Euclid, who believed that ‘the sum is greater than its parts’, Notion Five’s founders, Matt and Kate, wanted to bring this concept to the accounting world.

After working together in various roles for more than 11 years, they knew that numbers are just one part of a successful accounting equation.

To truly make a difference to the lives of the people they work with, that equation also requires curiosity, strategic problem solving, a diverse network of talented and committed professionals, and most of all, being willing to dive in boots and all to get the job done.

In 2018 the opportunity finally arose for Matt and Kate to finally bring this vision to life. What they’ve created is not just an accounting firm, it’s been designed from day one to make sure 1 + 1 always adds up to more. More success, more evolution, more community, and more support so you never feel like you’re walking the path to success alone.

When you work with us, you’re not partnering with a company, you’re becoming part of the Notion Five fold.

Together we'll:

  • Be a proactive part of your team
  • Make sure we know what you need before you do
  • Work every day to help you succeed, grown and evolve
  • Tell you what you can do rather than what you can’t do
  • Never take a ‘cookie cutter’ approach (unless it’s for morning tea!)
  • And, we’ll probably even make you laugh along the way
With our knowledge, commitment and strategic insight paired with your vision and expertise in what you do best, what we can achieve is so much more than the individual parts. If we weren’t accountants who are deeply rooted in the world of logic, numbers and facts, we’d almost say it all feels a bit like magic.

We look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Since hiring Notion Five to assist us with our tax returns over ten years ago, our need for their guidance quickly evolved and grew. They are a formidable team who are dedicated to making sure we get the best outcomes, they’re always clear and transparent, and they’re a pleasure to work with.

Through their work with us, they’ve not only been instrumental in setting up our financial structure and ensuring stability for our family’s current and future monetary needs, but also ensuring those life needs and goals.

We are very fortunate to have had the security of their expertise and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Tim & Lauren, The Southwood Hutchins Family

We'd love to get to know you.
