FROM THE BEGINING
How we got started
Michael Kyte
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Mike Kyte’s first business venture began with a mobile small engine repair business. Through this venture, Mike realized there was a great need for professional bookkeeping services in the accounting space, as finding a professional and reliable bookkeeper was quite challenging.
Because of this experience, Mike decided to go back to school while running the small engine
repair business and received an advanced diploma in business accounting. After moonlighting at a
local accounting firm part-time for a couple of years, Mike decided to change business ventures and delve into the world of accounting full-time.
In 2017 Mike sold his small engine repair company and started Books Smart Inc. Due to a high level of customer satisfaction, Books Smart Inc. was able to grow quickly in the bookkeeping space – and slowly took opportunities to expand offerings - so that we have now branched into corporate and personal taxation, as well as financial controllership and fractional CFO services.
In 2023 Books Smart Inc bought out MyBookkeeper Inc, a Port Stanley-based firm.
In 2024 Books Smart Inc. bought out Lori Whitmore Bookkeeping Inc., a London-based firm.
As a side hobby, Mike also engages in out-of-province real estate investing, and stock market investing. Outside of business-related hobbies, Mike enjoys fishing, camping, and enduro racing.
Mike truly has a passion for business analytics and the “game” of entrepreneurship. If you are
passionate about business and finance, you’ll get along great with Mike.
