How fast do I get a real quote?

Within 24 hours of telling us your monthly transaction volume. We quote in writing — scope, price and a start date — once we know what your books actually involve, not before.

Is my financial data secure?

Always. We run a zero-local-data architecture inside your own cloud accounting file via VPN-protected connections, under a multi-jurisdictional NDA agreed before access starts.

Which software do you work in for Canada?

QuickBooks Online, Xero, Wave. We work directly inside your existing environment — nothing new to set up before we start.

What if I'm already behind on my books?

That's catch-up work, priced separately by how many months behind you are and your transaction volume — a fixed project fee, not a monthly retainer. Tell us where things stand when you request your quote.

Is CRA compliance included in the monthly price?

No — compliance work is a separate service line from bookkeeping, priced and delivered on its own. That keeps liability and pricing clean, and it's added when you actually need it.

How it works in Canada

Compliance handled, not guessed at.

Canadian bookkeeping means keeping the federal and provincial layers apart from the first entry. GST at 5% and HST at 13%–15% behave differently by province, and PST or QST sits largely outside the input-tax-credit system altogether. We code them separately in QuickBooks Online so the GST/HST return, due a month after the reporting period, reconciles without a year-end adjustment.

The provincial half of the credit that nobody could claim

A low-volume restaurant needed monthly books and correct handling of Canada's dual GST/HST structure — including which component carries an input tax credit and which does not.

Consistently accurate monthly financials.
A GST/HST reconciliation that correctly applied provincial-specific input tax credit rules — an area that is easy to get wrong and costly to miss.

What was hard: Provincial and federal GST/HST components needed separate treatment for credit eligibility, and several vendor balances did not initially match the client's own records. Those had to be confirmed directly with the vendor before they could be closed out.
