Bookkeeping services, from catch-up to year-end
How the pieces fit together
You don’t need everything at once. A typical path looks like the one below, but you can join at any step. If your books are already in good shape, we can start straight at monthly bookkeeping.
Step 1
Catch up
Every account reconciled and every error fixed, so the starting point is solid.
Step 2
Set up
QuickBooks Online, bank feeds and receipt capture working the way your business does.
Step 3
Stay current
Monthly bookkeeping, with payroll and GST filed on schedule.
Step 4
Close the year
A tidy year-end package and slips, ready for your tax preparer.
Not sure where you fit? It usually becomes clear once you tell me where your books are. If your books are current and you just want them kept that way, we start with monthly bookkeeping. If they’re behind, we start with a catch-up project and quote it before any work begins.
Catch up: the usual starting point
Catch-up & cleanup bookkeeping
Books that are months or years behind, or full of errors, brought current and corrected. I reconcile every bank and credit card account from the oldest month forward, fix what I find, and give you a short list of anything still outstanding. Quoted as a project, so you know the cost first.
Every catch-up starts with a free review of your books, so you know what it involves, and what it costs, before anything begins.
Stay current
The monthly routine that keeps you level, with payroll and GST filed from the same reconciled books.
Monthly bookkeeping
Full-cycle bookkeeping every month: transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, bills entered and receipts matched. You get a profit & loss statement and balance sheet with a summary in plain English.
Payroll services
Pay runs with CPP, EI and income tax deducted, pay statements, CRA remittances on time, Records of Employment when someone leaves, and T4s before the end of February.
GST filing
Alberta’s 5% GST tracked, input tax credits claimed with the receipts to back them, and your return filed on time for your monthly, quarterly or annual period.
Add when you need them
Extras that fit around your bookkeeping, from one-time setups to year-end.

Software I work with
QuickBooks Online is what I recommend and know best: I hold Intuit’s QuickBooks Online Certification Level 2. I’ve also worked in QuickBooks Desktop, Sage, Excel and Google Sheets, and with receipt apps: Dext is the one I use, and I can work with another if you already have one.
