Meet the principal, Stephan Maslo, CPA, CA, CIA

Bringing CFO-level guidance to veterinary practices to transform complex numbers into strategic insights and competitive advantage

“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. 

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. We reject the false choice between “sell to corporate” or “struggle alone with inadequate support.”
