CANADA’S TOP SMALL & MEDIUM EMPLOYERS (2026)
Fully remote work provides flexibility at Multiview
M
ike Johnson
was a summer
intern the first
time he worked
for Multiview
Financial Software. He returned
subsequent summers while he
continued his studies. What he
remembers most vividly about those
early days was that his colleagues
really cared about each other,
about their clients, and about
solving the clients’ challenges. “I
thought that was normal for all
businesses,” says Johnson, today
Multiview’s president and CEO.
Johnson realized that
Multiview’s attention to client
and staff satisfaction is, in fact,
unusual, after spending several
years at other organizations. “As
it turns out, I don’t think it is that
normal. Multiview really is a
special place.”
Based in Ottawa, Multiview
develops and provides financial
software solutions that manage
corporate finance and back-office
operations for clients mainly
in the health care and medical
services field. Founded in 1990, it
employs about 150 people today.
Johnson returned to Multiview
in 2015 as its chief financial officer.
A few years later, he was named
president, and in 2019 became
president and CEO.
“Even back when I first
rejoined when we were 33 people,
Multiview was the sum of its
people,” Johnson says. “This
continues. We’re really trying to
foster a culture that empowers the
Multiview team to thrive at both
work and in life.”
Johnson is not the only employee who’s returned to Multiview.
In fact, he says boomerang
employees, as they are known, are
common. “Even if our best person
wants to get a job somewhere
else, we offer to be the reference
to show that we are fully behind
our people,” he says. “And there
may be a day where we get that
phone call that they want to come
back. We need to be radically
committed to the best interest of
our people.”
One way that Multiview puts its
people first is that everyone works
remotely.
“We have the luxury of being
in a type of business where we
don’t make physical things, we
make software,” Johnson explains.
“You can work from anywhere
within North America and current
technology allows us to be just
as productive. It’s allowed us
to attract great talent with very
relevant and specialized skills to
help all our clients go further.”
One of those talents is Kyle
Dyck, who works from his home
in Calgary. Dyck was hired as a
junior software engineer in the
summer of 2025. “I never thought
I would get a remote job. I always
thought it would be hybrid or
in-office. So, when I heard that it
was fully remote, I was very happy,”
he says, adding that regular team
meetings are scheduled to accommodate all the time zones from the
