Done-for-you bookkeeping · Serving all of Canada

Books that balance.
Every month.

Fixed-fee monthly bookkeeping for Canadian small businesses. Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled to your actual bank statement, tax-ready at year-end.

✓ Statement balances — opening balance + every transaction = closing balance

We don't just tidy your books — we prove they're complete. Each month, every account is verified against the bank's own statement, to the penny. If something is missing, duplicated, or mis-entered, our process catches it.

Stay focused on running your business while we keep your books organized, reconciled, and tax-ready. We handle:

Bookkeeping shouldn't feel like a monthly scramble

Most small business owners fall behind because bookkeeping is time-consuming, inconsistent, and easy to put off. That usually leads to:

messy books
missing receipts
unreconciled accounts
uncertainty around GST/HST
poor visibility into profit
stress at tax time

We provide a better way: fixed-fee bookkeeping with a modern, verification-first workflow that keeps your books current — and provably correct — every month.

What's Included

Clean records, timely reporting, fewer surprises

Transaction categorization

Every bank and card transaction categorized to a proper chart of accounts.

Receipt matching

Receipts matched to transactions and organized for audit-ready backup.

Statement-verified reconciliation

Bank and credit card accounts reconciled against the actual statements — to the penny.

Monthly close

Exceptions flagged, books reviewed and locked so each month stays final.

Financial statements

Profit & loss and balance sheet, delivered monthly — not once a year.

GST/HST tracking & year-end handoff

GST/HST tracked all year; your accountant gets clean, reconciled, usable books.

Fixed monthly pricing

Clear packages with defined transaction limits — you always know exactly what it costs.

Software and your client portal included

No accounting to learn. Your books run on our own platform, with no separate software subscription.

How It Works

Four steps, every month

1

You send your statements

Forward your bank and credit card statements (or receipts), or upload them to our easy-to-use portal. No accounting to learn.

2

We organize & reconcile

We categorize every transaction, match documents, and reconcile each account against its statement.

3

We close the month

We verify everything balances, flag anything unusual, and lock the month so your books stay current and final.

4

You get clear financials

A monthly P&L and balance sheet, plus a plain-English note on how the business is doing.

Behind on your books?

Catch-up is what we're built for. Whether you're a few months behind or need an entire year processed for tax time, we get you current — fast, and verified against your statements.

A few months behind

We bring your books current — every transaction categorized, every account reconciled — then a monthly plan keeps it that way. No judgment; falling behind is the most normal thing in small business.

Full-year catch-up & year-end processing

The whole year, done properly for tax time:

  • • Every transaction for the year categorized
  • • Every month reconciled to your bank & card statements
  • • GST/HST summarized and filing-ready
  • • Tax-ready year-end package: P&L, balance sheet, full ledger

Most full years are turned around within two weeks of receiving your statements.

Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Starting at $500 + GST/HST

Most cleanup projects start from $500, depending on how far behind the books are and how many accounts need reviewing. Larger or multi-year cleanups are quoted after an initial books review.

Quoted flat and up front — you know the exact cost before we start. No hourly meters.
