Matteo Muia is the CEO and Founder of Muia Consulting, a professional with a 15-year career in accounting. His introduction to the world of business was deeply influenced by a great dream to unite two nations; Italy and Canada. Matteo combined this aspiration with his IT and software knowledge, which he had acquired over time. His journey that started from his homeland involved pursuing education in accounting during high school and university. After relocating from Italy to Canada, Matteo began working for some of the most important accounting and bookkeeping firms such as “H&R Block”. His experience and confidence grew, ultimately leading him to establish Muia Consulting.
Matteo explains “I made the choice to establish my own company, aiming to build a connection between two nations that have enriched me greatly — one in terms of education and principles, and the other in terms of professional prospects.”
Matteo founded Muia Consulting with a mission to assist individuals and small businesses in simplifying global expansion and improving financial liquidity.
The Path to Flourishing in Business
Muia Consulting places the utmost emphasis on its clients’ success. The company is profoundly committed to ensuring the prosperity and well-being of its clients. Witnessing clients not only attain financial wealth but also find happiness and thrive in their professional endeavors is a source of great satisfaction for Muia Consulting.
In the business realm, survival is regarded as the foundational objective. Without survival, the ambitions of achieving sustained growth, profitability, and significant impact remain out of reach. Anything beyond survival is considered a valuable bonus by Muia Consulting.
This philosophy is deeply rooted in their approach, where they not only prioritize the basics but also excel in providing specialized services to optimize your business operations. Muià Consulting specializes in corporate taxation, the establishment of new businesses, and comprehensive accounting services, all facilitated through Virtual CFO solutions, eliminating the need for traditional pen-and-paper methods. This extends to efficient management of payroll, expense allocation, payments, and other vital functions. Their streamlined processes are tailored to alleviate the concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises, ensuring that bureaucracy doesn’t hinder their expansion into new markets. But that’s not all, Muià Consulting has a specific corporate branch that deals with family and personal services. They accompany families and people, assisting them in making the best choices, from healthcare to taxes.
Leadership Principles
At Muia Consulting, Matteo places significant importance on leadership principles that draw parallels between a company and an army. This recognition is rooted in the understanding that unity is essential for achieving a common objective that safeguards and supports individual well-being. While all team members share a collective aim within the office, it is equally important to acknowledge that, at the end of the day, they return to their own families. Additionally, building trust and fostering a collaborative culture form the cornerstone of operations at Muia Consulting. These principles ensure that every team member feels empowered and fully invested in the shared mission and vision of the company.
Innovating with Technology and Linguistic Diversity
“Our strength – said by Matteo – was to create a network to respond to every need. Lawyers, notaries, legal assistants collaborate with us, figures who are necessary in the economic and legal life of a company in Canada but who, thanks to our services, do not constitute a constraint but an opportunity. Muia Consulting proudly embraces the power of technology and celebrates linguistic diversity. The company stands as a beacon of innovation and creativity in the industry by seamlessly weaving advanced tech solutions into its practice. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also paves the way for future financial strategies and solutions. Muia Consulting excels in being quick and flexible, handling everything remotely. This means that when companies embark on a financial journey with them, they won’t face any extra hassle or disruptions to their usual processes.”
Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Big Dreams
In moments of challenge or when chasing after big dreams, Matteo and his team have found that two key strategies stand out: careful planning and a strong knowledge base. Planning provides a clear path forward, acting as a roadmap to tackle even the trickiest situations or ambitious goals. It helps them anticipate potential roadblocks and develop intelligent backup plans, thus reducing risks and uncertainties. A well-thought-out plan keeps them on track, ensuring their energy is directed where it counts the most.
On the other hand, knowledge acts as a superpower. It equips them with the smarts and expertise needed to make impactful decisions. It enables them to delve deep into situations, spot opportunities, and navigate around potential hiccups.
A Fusion of IT Expertise and Multicultural Experience
According to Matteo, what truly sets Muia Consulting apart is the company’s distinct approach, which is driven by the teams rich background in IT and their experience thriving in multicultural environments. Beyond traditional number-crunching; they are tech-savvy problem solvers who find innovative solutions that seamlessly merge technology with financial strategies. Furthermore, the team’s experience in diverse cultures is not just a feather in their cap but a valuable asset.
Approach to Work-Life Balance
Balancing the whirlwind of running a thriving company with the well-being of the team is something Matteo holds close to the company’s heart. One thing that has been a game-changer is learning to let go and trust the incredible team. Giving them the reins not only empowers them but also grants the space to focus on the big picture. It also allows them to carve out precious moments for family and ensure they remain non- negotiable.
Balancing it all isn’t always easy, but by cherishing both the personal and professional worlds, the company is able to lead from a place of authenticity and heart.
Embracing Inclusive and Empathetic Leadership
The most valuable lesson Matteo has gleaned on the CEO journey is the profound understanding that we are all part of a larger tapestry. It’s not just about steering the company’s ship; it’s about recognizing that everyone is in this together. Every decision made isn’t just for the company’s future, but for every member of the team. “We lead with a keen awareness that success is intertwined; their victories are mine, and vice versa.” Ultimately, this lesson has taught that true leadership isn’t about standing alone at the top but about lifting everyone up together towards a shared vision of success. At the end of the day, everyone is looking to survive.
Vision for Muia Consulting
Matteo shares that in the coming years, the vision for Muia Consulting is to move away from the typical bookkeeping and accounting firm model and shift towards the advisory side of finance. Muià Consulting is increasingly becoming a point of reference whether it be for individuals from Calabria, Italy or really anyone from anywhere.
