We listen first
We learn how your business actually runs before we write a line of code. The right tool fits the work, not the other way around.
About
A consultancy that ships.
Townsman Software exists for one reason: businesses lose staggering amounts of time to work that software should be doing. We build that software.
Mission
Efficiency, engineered.
We are a contract software firm serving businesses of every type and size. We build tailored tools for any business, with deep specialization in machine learning and finance.
That specialization is our edge, not our limit. The same rigor that makes trading systems reliable makes every system we build reliable: clear requirements, tested code, honest timelines.
Principles
How we operate
Four commitments we make to every client, on every engagement.
Bilingual by default
Full delivery in English or French, code, docs, and conversation. Bienvenue aux clients francophones.
Own your software
You get the code, the docs, and the knowledge transfer. No lock-in, ever.
Focused on outcomes
We scope every engagement around measurable business results and the right arrangement for the work.
Our clients
Trusted by institutions that can't afford mistakes.
We are proud to count Desjardins Securities (Valeurs mobilières Desjardins, VMD) among our clients. Work for a Canadian securities leader demands the standard of engineering we bring to every project.
Our roots
From the heart of McGill University.
Townsman Software was proudly founded in Montreal, Quebec, out of McGill University. McGill graduates founded the company and make up our team today.
