We are a bookkeeping practice in Edmonton working in QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50 and NetSuite every day. We clean up the file, check every transaction by hand, and send you reports straight from your accounting system. Automation handles the repetitive half, which is why this costs less than a traditional firm.
AI powered bookkeeping for small businesses.
We use AI and automation to strip out the repetitive bookkeeping work, so your books stay current and the cost stays low. Every entry is still checked by a person before it reaches your books.
Serving Edmonton and area, and remote clients across Canada.
Most of our clients run a business with 1 to 40 people, do their own quoting and hiring, and have no interest in becoming a bookkeeper.
Pick the whole thing or just the parts you are drowning in.
Transactions coded, bank and credit cards reconciled, receipts matched, and a clean set of books every month.
Pay runs, source deductions, T4 and T5 slips, records of employment, and WCB reporting on schedule.
GST returns filed on time, and a year end handover your accountant can pick up without a single follow up email.
The standard reports out of your accounting software, sent on the same day every month, so you can see where things stand without logging in.
Setup, cleanup, saved searches, approvals, and reporting for businesses already on NetSuite.
Months or years behind rebuilt from the source documents, so your filings can be brought current and the file starts telling the truth.
We work inside the software you already use rather than pushing you onto something that suits us. And if you are not on anything yet, that is a normal place to start, not a problem to fix before you call.
The system most Alberta small businesses land on. Setup, cleanup, bank rules, job costing by class and location, and Alberta sales tax codes set correctly.
QuickBooks help in detailClean and simple, and common with newer businesses and ecommerce. Bank feeds, reconciliations, invoicing and the app stack around it kept in order.
Still the default for plenty of established Alberta businesses and their accountants. We work in it as is, and only suggest moving if the desktop file is holding you back.
For businesses that have outgrown small business software. Administration, transaction processing, reconciliations and reporting from people who work in it daily.
NetSuite supportPlenty of good businesses run on spreadsheets and have no interest in changing. Fine. We automate the spreadsheet instead, so bank data arrives on its own and reports rebuild themselves.
Receipts in the truck and invoices in a notebook. We take the pile, rebuild the history, and stand up a clean set of books from day one on whichever system fits you.
Not a folder of spreadsheets. A dashboard you can read in a minute and a tidy set of reports your accountant can work from.
Three steps, and you are out of the books. If you want the detail on what software does and what we check by hand, that is on the how we work page.
You tell us the mess. We tell you straight whether we can fix it, what it costs, and how long the catch up takes.
We take over the file, fix the history, connect the feeds, and put the automation in place. You send documents one way and stop chasing them.
Books reconciled by the tenth, reports in your inbox, and anything unusual flagged for you: missing receipts, duplicates, invoices aging past 90 days.
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $400 a month, and most clients land between $400 and $900 depending on transaction volume and payroll. No packages to squeeze yourself into, and you hear your number before anything starts.
No. Catch up work is most of what we do. We start with the oldest open year, rebuild it, and get you current so filings can be brought up to date.
Software handles the repetitive work: pulling transactions, matching receipts, coding the ones it has seen before, and chasing missing documents. We review all of it before anything reaches your books. The coding stays consistent and a person checks it.
Yes, and you should. We keep the books clean and reconciled all year and hand your accountant an organised file at year end, so their work takes hours instead of weeks. Statements, tax filings and tax advice stay with them.
QuickBooks Online and Xero for most small businesses, Sage 50 where a business is already on it, and NetSuite for companies that have outgrown them. If you are already on something, we work in it rather than forcing a move.
No. Corporate tax filing and tax advice sit with your accountant. We keep the books they work from in good order, and we file the routine returns like GST and payroll remittances.
Only if you want to. Everything works remotely, and we are happy to meet in Edmonton when it helps.
Documents stay in secure cloud storage with access limited to your file. We never move client records through personal email or messaging apps.
Kaleem Siddiqui, CPA, founder
Northern AI Accounting was founded by Kaleem Siddiqui, a Canadian CPA based in Edmonton, with over a decade of experience across government finance, corporate accounting, ERP systems and process automation.
Northern AI Accounting exists to give small businesses professional bookkeeping without the overhead that comes with traditional accounting processes. Most of that career has been spent in the part of accounting nobody sees: the reconciliations and the month end that has to balance before anyone can make a decision.
What we like is the step after the books are clean. Once the numbers are right, they start telling you where the money is going and which jobs are actually worth taking. That is the part we want you to have.
We build the automation ourselves. If a task happens the same way every month, it should not need a person, and the time saved goes back into checking your file properly.
Twenty minutes, no charge, no pitch. If we are not the right fit we will say so and point you somewhere better.
We answer within one business day, usually the same day.
