Every transaction coded, every account reconciled, and a set of books your accountant can pick up without a single follow up email.
Nothing on this list is unusual. It is how most files look before we start.
The bank feed has not been touched since last summer
Receipts live in the truck, the phone, and a shoebox
GST deadlines arrive before the numbers are ready
Your accountant charges you to clean up the file before they can file it
You cannot tell which jobs made money and which ones cost you
Personal and business spending are tangled in the same account
A flat monthly fee covers the whole cycle, not just data entry.
Sales, expenses, and transfers coded consistently, with a chart of accounts that matches how your business actually earns money.
Every account tied out to the statement each month, so the balance you see is the balance you have.
Snap a photo or forward the email. Documents attach to the transaction, which keeps CRA happy if they ever ask.
Prepared, reviewed, and filed on time, with the amount owing and the due date told to you in plain language.
Who owes you, who you owe, and which invoices need a phone call this week.
Your file reconciled and your documents organised, handed to your tax accountant in the format they want, so they can get straight to the statements and the tax return.
Catch up work is normal here. Two years behind is a Tuesday, not a lecture.
Kaleem Siddiqui, CPAYou show us the file or describe the mess. We tell you what the catch up involves and what the monthly fee will be.
We rebuild the history, connect the feeds, and set up how documents reach us. This is quoted separately and done once.
Books closed by the tenth, statements sent, and anything odd flagged with a note rather than a spreadsheet.
There is no such thing. We have picked up files that had not been touched in three years. The older the file, the more the catch up costs, but it is always fixable.
QuickBooks Online and Xero for most small businesses, Sage 50 where a business is already on it, and NetSuite for larger ones. If you are already set up somewhere, we work in your file rather than moving you.
No, and you still need one. We keep the books clean and reconciled all year so their year end work is faster, which usually lowers that bill. Financial statements, tax filings and tax advice stay with them.
Receipts and any documents we cannot pull from the bank, plus an answer when we flag something unusual. That is it.
Twenty minutes on the phone, no charge. If the file is fine and you do not need us, we will say so.
