Our Monthly Bookkeeping Process

  • Whether you’ve been dealing with the bookkeeping yourself or even if you’ve hired help to do it in the past, we know how overwhelming and nervewracking it can feel to trust what’s arguably the most important part of your business - the finances - with outside experts, and that’s not something we take lightly. From the day your engagement letter is signed, we’ll take you through a seamless and simple onboarding process in which we’ll gather all of the information we need from you to get the ball rolling, provide you access to your personal client portal, and make sure any and all lingering questions you may have are answered at the outset.

  • You’ll upload receipts and vendor bills to Hubdoc (our receipt management software), and then we’ll take care of posting and filing them away.

  • Once you’re fully onboarded, we’ll hit the ground running. You’ll receive what we call “review lists”. These lists, which come by email, will contain items we need to complete your month-end bookkeeping. Most of the time, it’ll be things like missing receipts, bank or credit card statements, and questions we might have about specific transactions that occurred.

  • If you pay yourself and/or any other employees a salary or hourly wages, we’ll take that off of your plate - whether it’s bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. We’ll also look after the monthly or quarterly payroll tax remittances to CRA on your behalf.

  • We’ll look after your monthly, quarterly, or annual GST/HST/PST filings and scheduling payments.

  • We’ll review all of the bookkeeping done for the month and ensure everything has been posted and reconciled exactly as it should.

  • We’ll pull your financial reports and we’ll be sure to highlight anything that we feel needs your specific attention. You’ll have the opportunity to hop on a call with us to go over anything you’re unsure about and/or help you strategize in whatever areas you need.

  • We’ll meet with you monthly or quarterly (depending on your monthly bookkeeping package) to review your bookkeeping to date, go over any questions you may have, and help strategize on specific areas in your business that may need it.

What We Stand For
