Bookkeeping Services

  • General Bookkeeping

    Accurate, organized books are the backbone of your business. We record and categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and ensure your books always tell the right story. With reliable financial data, you’ll make smarter business decisions, stay compliant, and save time. We make bookkeeping simple, so you can focus on running your business, not crunching numbers.

  • Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable (AR/AP)

    Healthy cash flow starts with managing who owes you and who you owe. We handle invoices, payments, and collections efficiently to keep your finances moving smoothly. With consistent AR/AP management, you’ll avoid missed payments, build stronger relationships with suppliers, and always know where your money stands.

  • Invoicing

    Timely, professional invoicing helps you get paid faster and keeps your operations running smoothly. We create, send, and track invoices with accuracy and follow up on overdue accounts. If billing feels like a constant chase, we’ll set up simple systems that automate reminders and help maintain steady cash flow.

  • Bank Reconciliations

    Keeping your accounts accurate is key to understanding your true financial picture. We regularly reconcile your bank and credit card accounts, catching errors and missed transactions before they cause problems. Monthly reconciliations give you confidence that your reports are correct and ready for decisions, audits, or tax time.

Payroll Services

  • Payroll & Payroll Compliance

    Your team relies on accurate, timely pay. We handle payroll from start to finish, from the calculations, to deductions, and remittances, ensuring you meet all CRA requirements. We make the payroll process seamless and compliant, giving you more time to lead your business while your staff gets paid correctly and on schedule.

Compliance & Reporting

  • GST/HST Filing & Compliance

    Stay compliant and stress-free with expert GST/HST filing. We calculate, prepare, and submit your returns on time, ensuring your books align with CRA standards. We’ll track due dates, verify reports, and handle the paperwork so you never miss a filing or face penalties.

  • Year-End Preparation

    Avoid the last-minute scramble at year-end. We review and organize your books so your accountant receives clean, complete records. This saves time, reduces costs, and ensures your financial statements are accurate. With everything properly reconciled and ready to go, tax season becomes a smooth, stress-free process.

System Setup & Optimization

  • New Software Setup

    Switching to cloud bookkeeping should simplify your life, not complicate it. We’ll set up and customize QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Dext to match your business needs and reporting style. Whether you’re moving from spreadsheets or upgrading from desktop, we’ll ensure your system is optimized and ready for success.

  • Workflows & SOP Setup

    We help you streamline how your bookkeeping runs. By creating simple, step-by-step workflows and standard operating procedures (SOPs), your financial tasks become consistent and efficient. These systems keep your business organized and make it easy for anyone on your team to follow the same reliable process.

Catch-Up & Clean-Up Services

  • Catch-Up Bookkeeping

    Behind on your books? We’ll bring your records up to date quickly and accurately. Whether you’re months or years behind, we’ll clean, sort, and reconcile everything so your financials are current. Catching up on bookkeeping restores clarity and peace of mind, and helps you make better business decisions moving forward.

  • Clean-Up Bookkeeping

    When your books don’t add up, we dig in to make things right. Our clean-up service fixes errors, removes duplicates, and ensures all transactions are categorized properly. Whether you’ve switched software or bookkeepers, we’ll restore your records’ accuracy so you can move forward with confidence and clean data.

QBO, Xero & Dext Training

  • Software Training

    Want to manage your own bookkeeping but don’t know where to start? We provide personalized training in QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Dext. You’ll learn the essentials—from reconciling accounts to generating reports, so you can confidently maintain your books and understand your financial results. 

Advanced Financial Support

  • Fractional CFO Services

    Take control of your business growth with our fractional CFO services. We help with budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and financial statement analysis. You’ll gain a clear picture of where your business stands and where it’s heading, turning numbers into strategies that support confident, informed decision-making.

Tax Services

  • Personal Tax Preparation (Individual Returns)

    We make personal tax filing simple and stress-free. For uncomplicated returns, we ensure every credit and deduction is captured while meeting CRA requirements. You’ll receive accurate, on-time filing and peace of mind knowing your taxes are handled by experienced professionals who understand the details.

  • Tax Preparation for Public Accounting Firms on Contract
