We build things that last.
Cobella Financial exists for one reason: to give businesses the financial foundation, the strategic partnership, and the clarity they need to do what they were built to do.
"What I have learned from working across every kind of business is this: the fundamentals of financial health are universal. Accurate books. Clean systems. Reliable reporting. Clear strategy. And a partner who tells you the truth about your numbers."
Over more than a decade of progressive financial leadership, I have served as a bookkeeper, a controller, a fractional CFO, a financial coach, a curriculum designer, a facilitator, and a board finance member — often all at once, across multiple industries and sectors simultaneously. That breadth is not accidental. It is the point.
A decade of building.
From the ground up.
My name is Shantae Cunningham. I founded Cobella Financial in 2018 with a clear purpose: to build financial systems that work and to deliver the kind of financial partnership that was previously only available to large organizations with large budgets.
Since then, I have worked with small businesses, startups, professional services firms, e-commerce companies, construction businesses, social enterprises, and community organizations across Canada. What they all have in common is that they needed financial systems they could trust and a partner who would show up consistently, tell them the truth, and help them act on it.
That is what Cobella delivers. Every time. For every client.
Two divisions.
One commitment.
The systems that keep your business running right.
We do not just keep your books, we help you understand them, act on them, and use them to build something sustainable. From day-to-day bookkeeping to executive-level financial strategy, we bring the expertise your business needs at every stage of growth.
Whether you are a startup building your first financial infrastructure or an established business that has outgrown your current setup, we design every engagement around your specific context, your industry, and your goals.
Financial confidence belongs to everyone.
The Cobella Wellness Division delivers financial education, empowerment programming, and one-on-one coaching to individuals and organizations who want to build a stronger relationship with money.
We have delivered programming through partnerships with Enterprise Toronto, the City of Toronto, and national financial empowerment organizations — reaching 500+ participants annually.
What I have built.
Financial clarity is not a luxury. It is what allows businesses to make good decisions, operate with integrity, and pursue the things they were actually built to pursue.
My job, whether I am advising a board, managing a complex multi-client portfolio, or sitting across from someone building their first budget, is to make the numbers make sense. To give every client the tools, the systems, and the confidence to move forward with their eyes open.
You will know who you are working with. You will be treated like a partner, not a file number. Your calls get returned. Your reports arrive on time. And when something does not look right in your numbers, we tell you before it becomes a problem.
That is the Cobella standard. It has been since 2018, and it is not changing.
