Our Story

My name is Sean Renshaw and I am the founder of Bunkor. My ecommerce beginnings started with my brother Lee who invented the “bag-with-shelves”.

We co-founded a company and I invested some money with him to help buy the first shipment of product. Sales were slow, so I started cold calling during lunch break at my day job. Then we auditioned and were featured on the premier episode of Dragon’s Den season 7. All the Dragons made offers and we settled on a deal with Arlene Dickinson and David Chilton. Other features include, Today Show (three times), episode on DIY’s “I Want That”, Maclean’s Magazine, Engadget, Canadian Living, The Shopping Channel… etc.

We have launched many Shopify stores since 2012 and sold on some of the largest consumer channels, including HSN, Walmart, Touch of Modern, Amazon, Zulily, Steals.com, AhaLife, the Grommet, eBags..etc

Bunkor is Born

With a deep understanding of running a successful ecommerce businesses in Canada (and USA/Europe), Bunkor was launched by leveraging our combined experiences in retail, ecommerce and financial accounting to provide unmatched bookkeeping and mentoring support for Canadian ecommerce store owners.

Over the years, we have become bookkeeping experts for ecommerce businesses. We were constantly disappointed by the automation integrations on the market, importing and matching transactions incorrectly. We couldn’t rely on it, literally taking more time to fix it than to just enter it ourselves. So we developed our own special tools to get it done right.

Made for Canada

We have great pride of Canada and deeply care about all our amazing entrepreneurs.

Empowering Canadian ecommerce by managing their books is what we do. As a Canadian company, Bunkor follows Canadian accounting rules and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We specialize in ecommerce, so you will benefit from our combined experience in the industry.

We have benchmarks and key metrics from other successful Canadian ecommerce companies that will help steer your business in the right direction for a profitable and sustainable business.

Who we Help

We work with all Canadian ecommerce companies.

Being a business owner is an exciting journey, but as your company grows and you take on more and more, the free time you had starts to become less and less.

Most business owners feel that bookkeeping is a drag, but “it just has get done”. We want to give that freedom back to business owners so that they can focus on their passion and use it to fuel the success of their business.

Freedom

Our mission is to free business owners from drag of daily bookkeeping chores. You will be able to get back to your passion and the parts of running your business that you enjoy most (and the reason you started it in the first place).

Take Control

Our passion is to give businesses owners a better understanding of their businesses through the power of understanding their finances. We take complicated data inputs/statements/ratios and make them easier to use and understand. Decisions will be made more quickly and with better outcomes than humming and hawing and guessing over what decision to make. This financial clarity is priceless in the long run.

Our Principles

We follow nine guiding principles. They are the driving force behind every
successful business and the backbone of Bunkor.

Vision

Vision is at the core of the business. Keep your vision out in the open for everyone to see, feel, and be part of. It is more important to the life of the business than anything else.

Scalable

A business must be scalable for it to be successful. If you can do something now, make sure you plan to still be able to do it even if it’s times 1,000.

Systems

All parts contribute to the success or failure of the whole. Everything must work together. Build systems that are repeatable and transferable.

Sustainable

Thrive through changing economic conditions. Make sure all your eggs are not in one basket and diversify. Nothing is worse than your whole businesses getting lost because of a change in the market.

Focus

Focus is what separates the people who accomplish a lot versus those that spin their wheels. Everything around us is fighting for our attention. We have a finite amount of attention and focus is key to major accomplishments.

Data/ Knowledge

Data is the single best source of truth. From data we can derive knowledge that will guide us and make the right decisions.

Profitability

Profitability is the heart of your businesses. Routinely check your pulse to make sure you are keeping profitable. A small change can sometimes be the difference between making money and losing money.

Customer Experience

Put your customers first. They are the blood of your businesses – you can’t survive without them. Loyal customers spend more, churn less, refer more business over time, and are more profitable.

Change

Never be complacent and never stop learning. The world is ever changing and we need to change with it. Be proactive instead of reactive. Know when to stay the course and when to change.
