Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide services across Canada?
Yes! We work virtually and can provide accounting, bookkeeping, tax and advisory services all across the country. Our existing client base covers all the major (and many smaller) cities in Canada. We have recently started to expand to the US as well.
What's the difference between bookkeepers and accountants?
A bookkeeper’s and an accountant’s responsibilities sometimes overlap. But in general, a bookkeeper’s primary task is to record transactions, keep your books organized and up to date, while accountants provide financial analysis, and are more qualified to advise on tax matters.
We provide both these services, so you don’t have to go scouting for each individually! This also makes for an easier and stress-free tax time.
How long does it take to get my books up and running?
It all depends on your current situation. Usually we’ll get clients up and running in 7 to 10 business days. If your business requires significant catch up work, it may take longer.
I am behind with my books. Can you help me get caught up?
Yes! We can import your previous transactions and get your books in order.
Do I need to deliver my receipts and other documents in person?
You’ll need to keep your paper receipts on file in case of an audit by the government.
As an additional service, we can set up a digital receipts management system for your business. All you’ll have to do is snap a picture of your receipts to store them digitally. Audit support is included with this service.
What's the difference between accrual and cash based bookkeeping?
Can you file income tax reports for my business and myself?
Yes! We have qualified tax experts who can prepare and file your income tax returns – both personal and corporate. See our Tax Returns section for more information.
Can you help me reduce my taxes?
We can surely help reduce your taxes by using various tax planning tools and reviewing your books. The end results depend on each client’s unique situation
