Why local

One bookkeeper who knows your business.

You work with one person. They learn how your business actually runs — your customers, your suppliers, the things that only happen in your trade — and they stay your point of contact. No call centre, and no explaining it again every month.

Behind them are modern systems that keep the records organized and take care of the repetitive part, so more of their attention goes to the things that need judgment. You don’t have to learn any of it.

One regular contact

The same person every month — someone you can email or call directly.

Someone familiar with your business

They know how your business runs, so a question gets an answer in context.

Local presence, online convenience

A bookkeeper in your area, with everything you need to send or see available online.

Continuity built in

What happens if your bookkeeper is unavailable?

It’s a fair question, and it is the one real risk in working with a single local bookkeeper.

You work with one person as your main contact. But the work is done on shared systems, with organized records and the same process in every city — so your bookkeeping is never trapped in one person’s inbox or memory.

If your bookkeeper is away, or eventually moves on, another bookkeeper in the growing network can pick up your records, your history and your process, and carry on.

Software vs. a bookkeeper

Software gives you tools. We do the bookkeeping.

QuickBooks, Xero and Sage are capable tools, and we are happy to work in whichever one you already use. But a tool is something you operate — the work still belongs to whoever sits down to do it.

Premium accounting software is a monthly cost you already carry, and the bookkeeping is still yours to do. Instead of paying for software and still doing the bookkeeping yourself, work with a real local bookkeeper.

With software on its own

The software is ready. The work is still yours.

  • You do the bookkeeping.
  • You reconcile the accounts.
  • You find the mistakes.
  • You prepare for tax time.

With your local bookkeeper

The same four jobs, done for you each month.

  • We do the bookkeeping.
  • We reconcile the accounts.

What we do

Everything the books need, in one place.

One bookkeeper, one monthly process, and the filings that come off it. What each of these involves — and what it costs — is on your city’s page.

Monthly bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, statements you can actually read.

Catch-up bookkeeping

Behind by months or years? We bring the books up to date, a year at a time.

Payroll

Pay runs, remittances and year-end slips, kept in step with the books.

GST/HST

Sales tax tracked through the year, so filing is a review rather than a rebuild.

Corporate tax (T2)

Your corporation’s annual return, prepared from the books we already keep.

Personal tax (T1)

The owner’s return, handled alongside the business it comes from.

How it works

From the first conversation to a year of tidy books.

Five steps, and you only do the first two.

  1. Choose your city

    Your city’s page introduces the bookkeeper there and the areas they cover.

  2. Meet your bookkeeper

    A conversation about your business, what you have now and what you need.

  3. We review your books

    We look at where things stand and say plainly what getting current would take.

  4. We keep them current

    Every month: transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, statements sent.

  5. Tax time is easier

    Your HST, T2 and T1 come off books that are already done and already reviewed.

Pricing

Straightforward monthly pricing.

Monthly bookkeeping is a flat monthly price — from $199 a month — set by how much activity your business has, not by the hour. Payroll and tax filing are priced the same way, and you are told the number before anything starts. The plans are listed in full on your city’s page.
