About Envision Accounting for Mental Health Professionals

Bringing CFO-level guidance to veterinary practices

“I will help you manage your finances so you can focus on animal care, with less stress and more purpose.”

– Stephan Maslo, CPA, CA, CIA

“Hi, I’m Stephan.”

Founder of Envision Accounting

I am a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA, CIA) with over a decade of experience in accounting, auditing, and financial management. While my professional background spans industries like construction, real estate, and non-profits, my work with veterinary practices has become a personal passion.

Professionally, I’ve been fortunate to work in roles that have taught me how to manage complex financial challenges, from leading financial engagements at Deloitte to acting as a divisional controller for a $400-million business unit at KBR Canada. These experiences have shaped how I approach problem-solving, teamwork, and building trust with clients.

Giving back has always been important to me. As a volunteer mentor with CPA Alberta, I’ve supported aspiring accountants through their journeys, and I’ve participated in tax clinics to assist individuals in vulnerable situations. I’ve also held leadership roles in non-profits, where I’ve overseen financial operations and collaborated with diverse teams to make a positive impact.

I approach every project with integrity, curiosity, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference. If you’re looking for financial support tailored to your needs, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can help.

What Industry Professionals are Saying

“In the last 4 years, I transitioned from working in public healthcare as a full-time professional to becoming an independent contractor with more complex paperwork. It was tough to manage and organize my finances across different clinics. Stephan has given me professional advice throughout those years and continues to make it easy for me to understand the foundation and basics of my finances, earnings, and tax filings. He gives professional advice without being pushy, and goes above and beyond for his clients. It's well worth the investment to work with Stephan!”

"Stephan at Envision Accounting created an exceptional multi-year financial model for me, complete with detailed projections and insightful cash flow analysis. As a fellow CPA, I deeply appreciated Stephan’s meticulous attention to detail, accuracy, and integrity. His work was not only technically excellent but also clearly communicated, demonstrating his genuine commitment to quality and client success. I highly recommend Stephan to anyone seeking professional financial modeling from a trusted CPA who truly understands the nuances of business finance."

Why Veterinary Practices?

I made a deliberate choice to focus on veterinary practice advisory after working closely with veterinary clinics across Alberta. I witnessed practice owners making million-dollar decisions about expansion, exit timing, and associate compensation without the veterinary-specific financial intelligence that sophisticated corporate consolidators operated with, so I decided that I want to level the playing field and leverage our deep understanding of Alberta’s favorable tax environment to help veterinary practices.

What We Believe

Independent veterinary practices can compete and thrive in the consolidation era, but only with the right financial intelligence. My team at Envision Accounting reject the false choice between “sell to corporate” or “struggle alone with inadequate support.”
