Bookkeeping Services Calgary.

Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation

Every account reconciled monthly to your bank statements — all transactions categorized, no discrepancies left open.

Alberta GST Filing (CRA) — 5% Only

One GST account, one return, one payment. We prepare and file with CRA on whatever period you're assigned, and claim input tax credits on the purchases that carry them. There is no provincial layer to map on top.

Payroll Journal Entries & Remittance Reconciliation

We post payroll to the books and reconcile CPP, EI, and income tax remittances against your CRA payroll account. We coordinate with whoever runs your payroll — we don't run it ourselves.

WCB-Alberta Reconciliation

Alberta premiums are assessed on insurable earnings against your industry rate code. We reconcile what you've remitted against payroll through the year so your annual WCB return agrees with your books.

Monthly CRA-Ready Financial Reports

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement delivered by the 10th every month.

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Bills and invoices tracked so you always know what you owe and what you're owed.

QuickBooks Online & Xero Management

Your cloud accounting platform maintained, configured for Alberta's GST-only environment.

Alberta Corporate Registry Dates Tracked

Your annual return date sits on the compliance calendar alongside your GST and WCB deadlines, so nothing lapses while you're busy running the business.

Year-End Package — T2 and Alberta AT1

Alberta corporations file a separate AT1 return with Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration on top of the federal T2. Your accountant gets a reconciled trial balance and supporting schedules that answer both, which cuts their prep time and your bill.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Behind on your books? We offer catch-up bookkeeping for Calgary businesses — one-time clean-up from $500 depending on volume.

Oil & Gas / Energy Services

Operator JIB statements coded line by line, AFE spend tracked per well or project, field tickets matched to subcontractor invoices, and equipment kept in the right CCA classes. Calgary's defining sector, at the same flat $500/month.

Construction & Trades

Costs coded to the job so you see margin per project, the 10% builders' lien holdback carried as a receivable rather than booked as revenue, WCB reconciled against payroll, and T5018 subcontractor slips assembled at year-end.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Tip reporting, daily cash reconciliation, food cost tracking, and point-of-sale (POS) integration. GST on food services filed correctly every quarter.

Books kept on the cash basis farmers are allowed to elect, crop and feed inputs coded for T2042, AgriInvest and AgriStability deposits tracked, and the zero-rated GST treatment on farm sales applied correctly so you aren't collecting tax you shouldn't.

Alberta GST — What Calgary Businesses Need to Know

Calgary GST Filing — No PST, Simple Returns

Alberta has no provincial sales tax. Every Calgary transaction carries GST at 5% and nothing else — one registration with CRA, one return, one remittance.

A BC business registers twice and files twice: GST to CRA, PST to the BC Ministry of Finance, on separate schedules with separate rules about what's taxable. Ontario collapses both into 13% HST. Alberta skips the provincial layer entirely, which means fewer tax codes in your chart of accounts and fewer places for a return to go wrong.

Affordable Bookkeeping Calgary

Affordable Bookkeeping Calgary — Why $500/month Makes Sense

A part-time bookkeeper in Calgary costs $1,800–$3,200/month in salary alone, before CPP, EI, vacation pay, WCB, or benefits. Full-time runs $48,000–$65,000/year. We do the same monthly work — reconciliations, GST, reports by the 10th — for $500 flat.

An employee also comes with a WCB account of their own, vacation coverage, and the month your books stop moving because they left. Outsourcing removes all of that. No setup fees, month to month, cancel anytime.

Your Cloud File Is the Office

We connect to your QuickBooks Online or Xero, pull Alberta bank feeds directly, and exchange documents through encrypted storage. Nothing gets printed, dropped off, or driven anywhere.

Every Alberta Filing Is Already Digital

GST goes to CRA electronically. WCB-Alberta and the Corporate Registry run through provincial portals. Alberta corporate tax is filed with Tax and Revenue Administration online. Distance changes none of it.

Billed by the Month, Not the Hour

Calgary firms bill $65–$120/hour, so a month with extra reconciling costs more than a quiet one. Ours is $500 regardless of how many transactions came through. You can budget it a year out.
