About Us
We build more than numbers, we build financial confidence
At Canny Consultants, we partner with visionary builders, developers and growth-minded businesses. We’re not just your accountants — we’re your strategic financial allies
Our Mission
To empower businesses — especially in property, development and construction — to grow sustainably, make smart decisions, and deliver value to communities.
We believe that good infrastructure and built environments begin with clear, confident finances. When your numbers are in order, your vision has room to take shape.
What Set Us Apart
Deep Sector Expertise
Our team knows the ups and downs of property, construction & development — from cost fluctuations, funding risks, project timing, to margin volatility. We don’t just interpret your financials, we anticipate project cycles.
Boutique, Hands-On Service
You won’t be a client number. You’ll work shoulder to shoulder with us. We make sure we stay lean and responsive, so your needs get priority.
Tech-Enabled Efficiency
We leverage modern accounting systems, dashboards, financial tools, and reporting
so you get insights not extra overhead. Our goal is clarity delivered efficiently.
End-To-End Advisory & Accounting
From tax and compliance to CFO strategy, corporate structuring, feasibility modelling and growth advisory — we keep all critical functions under one roof.
Commitment To Integrity & Trust
Transparency, accountability and ethical practices are nonnegotiable. When we
promise, we deliver. You’ll always know where your finances stand, what we’re
recommending, and why.
Our Journey
Canny Consultants was founded by Joel Canny, a finance professional with over 15 years’ experience across chartered accounting, corporate finance, development and construction.
His vision was to create a financial advisory firm that speaks the language of builders and developers while retaining the agility and closeness of a boutique operation.
Over the years, we have supported numerous construction and property clients plus a range of small and medium enterprises across industries.
Our work includes:
• Project cost modelling and viability assessments
• Structuring for tax efficiency and capital raising
• Forecasting and financial strategy for scaling
Joel holds a Bachelor of Commerce, is a registered Chartered Accounting Practitioner (CA) and holds a Tax Agent license, with further studies in property & construction.
Our Approach
Collaboration Over Dictation
We work with you, not for you. We take time to understand your goals, constraints, and risks. Then we tailor strategies that align with your vision.
Proactive, Not Reactive
We don’t wait for tax season or reporting deadlines. We monitor, advise, course correct, and keep your finances ahead of stress.
Clarity Through Communication
A financial model is only useful if you understand it. We translate complex numbers into understandable actions and decisions.
Accountability & Partnership
We measure our success by how well you achieve your goals. Your growth is our benchmark.
Our Commitment To You
When you engage us, you’re not getting a detached service provider — you’re gaining a partner who takes your business seriously.
We commit to delivering filing, compliance, and payroll safety, but also insight, foresight, and outcomes.
If you’re working on bold builds or navigating growth ceilings, we’d love to talk about how we can build clarity together.
