Top Tech Startups in Ontario, Canada in 2026

Peregrine Professional Services is an AI-native accounting and financial operations company building the next generation of accounting firms. Unlike traditional service firms that scale through headcount, we are building a technology-first, automation-driven firm designed to operate more like a software company. Our goal is to automate large portions of bookkeeping, financial operations, reporting, compliance, and internal workflows through AI agents, workflow orchestration, and intelligent operational systems. We believe the future of accounting firms will be defined by: automation over manual processes systems over labor operational scalability over linear headcount growth AI-assisted workflows with human oversight Peregrine operates as both: an accounting firm serving clients today a technology company building the internal infrastructure powering AI-native financial operations We are developing an internal agentic operating system that coordinates AI agents, workflow engines, integrations, review layers, and operational tooling across accounting workflows. Rather than layering AI onto legacy systems, we are redesigning workflows from the ground up to be automation-first. Our long-term vision extends beyond operating a single firm. We are pursuing a roll-up strategy by acquiring accounting firms and transitioning their operations into this AI-native operating model, creating a scalable and significantly more efficient platform for financial operations. The company operates at the intersection of: AI agents and LLM workflows workflow orchestration backend infrastructure automation systems accounting operations operational tooling process optimization We are an early-stage, high-ownership team that values initiative, clear communication, fast iteration, continuous learning, and strong execution. We are looking for people excited by the opportunity to help build an AI-native company from the ground up and rethink how operational businesses are run.

MyKriya connects technology enterprises with senior talent in Cloud, Data, and AI. MyKriya comes from a Sanskrit word, Kriya which means precise, purposeful action. Not effort for its own sake, but the right effort, at the right moment, toward the right outcome. One of our founders has spent 17 years in the technology industry and is also a Yoga practitioner. In both worlds, the principle is the same: righteousness, focus, and precision. We named this company with that intention and we run it the same way.
