How It Works
Six steps from signup to clean books
Free discovery call
15-minute call or a form submission. We review your current software, transaction volume, and province to recommend the right plan.
Onboarding (5–7 days)
We connect to your QuickBooks or Xero, review 1–3 months of prior records, and set up your chart of accounts correctly for your industry.
First month-end close
Your dedicated bookkeeper completes your first full month: reconciliation, categorization, and financial statements.
Monthly delivery by the 15th
Every month: reconciled books, P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and a brief summary of anything that needs your attention.
Quarterly tax filings
HST/GST returns prepared and filed on your schedule. Payroll remittances handled on time. You get a reminder before every deadline.
Year-end CPA handoff
We prepare a clean year-end package for your CPA: trial balance, depreciation schedule, and working papers. Most CPAs charge less when they receive clean books.
