Disclaimer

This website (outsourcebookkeeping.ca) is operated by OutsourceBookkeeping o/a Outsource Bookkeeping (“Outsource Bookkeeping”, “we”, “us”). The content on this website — including pages, blog posts, guides, calculators, comparison pages, industry pages, location pages, FAQs, and downloadable resources — is provided for general informational and marketing purposes only.

1. Not Professional Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes bookkeeping, accounting, tax, GST/HST/PST/QST, payroll, financial, investment, legal, or regulatory compliance advice. Information is general in nature and is not tailored to your business, industry, province, or facts. You should not act, or refrain from acting, based on any content on this site without consulting an appropriately qualified Canadian professional.

2. We Are Bookkeepers, Not CPAs or Lawyers

Outsource Bookkeeping provides bookkeeping, sales tax filing, payroll, and financial reporting services. Unless expressly stated in a signed engagement letter, we are not Chartered Professional Accountants (CPAs) and do not provide audit, review, compilation/Notice to Reader, tax planning, corporate tax (T2) preparation, assurance, or legal services. References to “CPA-ready” reporting describe the format and quality of our deliverables; they do not mean we are licensed CPAs.

3. No Client Relationship

Visiting this site, reading our content, using our calculators, contacting us, booking a consultation, or subscribing to our communications does not create a bookkeeper-client, accountant-client, or any other professional relationship. A professional engagement is established only by a signed engagement letter and once we have confirmed acceptance in writing.

4. Accuracy and Currency

Canadian federal and provincial bookkeeping, tax, payroll, and sales tax rules change frequently. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy at the time of publication, we make no representations or warranties, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or currency of any content on this website.

5. Jurisdictional Variation

Although we serve businesses across all Canadian provinces and territories, the rules governing GST, HST, QST, PST, WSIB/WCB, EHT, payroll source deductions, professional regulation, and industry-specific compliance vary significantly by jurisdiction. Content on this site may not reflect the rules of your specific province or territory.

6. Industry-Specific Content

Our industry pages (including Medical & Healthcare, Dental Practices, Law Firms, Real Estate, Construction, Non-Profit, and others) describe general bookkeeping considerations only. They do not constitute advice on regulatory compliance matters, including but not limited to:

• ●Law Society trust accounting rules (e.g., Law Society of Ontario By-Law 9, Law Society of British Columbia Trust Accounting rules, and equivalent rules in other provinces);
• ●Healthcare professional corporation rules and provincial regulator requirements;
• ●Real estate trust and statutory account rules (RECO, REBBA, and equivalents);
• ●Charity and non-profit reporting (CRA Form T3010, provincial charity regulators).

Engagement to handle these matters requires a separate, written engagement letter.

7. Calculators and Tools

The Bookkeeping Cost Calculator, HST Calculator, and any other interactive tools on this site provide estimates only based on the inputs you provide and general assumptions. Outputs are not a quote, a tax assessment, a binding price, or a substitute for professional analysis. We are not responsible for decisions made based on calculator results.

8. Comparison Pages

Comparisons with third-party services (including Wave Accounting, QuickBooks Live, Bench Accounting, FreshBooks, and others) reflect our good-faith opinion based on publicly available information at the time of writing. Features, pricing, and capabilities of third-party services change without notice. All third-party trademarks, product names, and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and comparison purposes only; their use does not imply endorsement or affiliation.

9. Testimonials and Results

Testimonials, case studies, client names, and statistics displayed on this site (including figures such as “200+ businesses served,” “$40M+ books managed,” and Google ratings) reflect the experience of specific clients and the state of our business at a point in time. They are not a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of results you will achieve. Individual results vary based on your books, industry, transaction volume, and cooperation in providing source documents.

10. Service Guarantees and Promotions

Our “books by the 10th” delivery guarantee, “$500 flat-rate” pricing, “or your month is free” offer, and similar commitments apply only to active clients under a signed engagement letter and are subject to the terms set out in that engagement letter and our Terms of Service. Statements on this site summarize these offers and do not, on their own, create a binding contractual obligation.

11. Security and Compliance Claims

References to “bank-grade security,” “CRA-compliant,” “QuickBooks ProAdvisor Certified,” and “Xero Certified Partner” describe the standards and certifications we hold or apply in our operations. They are not warranties that any specific outcome (including avoidance of CRA reassessment, audit, penalty, breach, or data loss) will result.

12. Third-Party Links and Software

This site links to and references third-party websites and software (including but not limited to QuickBooks Online, Xero, HubDoc, Dext, Plooto, Wagepoint, Dayforce, and Payworks). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, terms, pricing, privacy practices, or security of third-party sites or products.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OutsourceBookkeeping, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, cost, penalty, interest, reassessment, or expense — whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive — arising from your access to, use of, or reliance on any content, calculator, tool, comparison, or link on this website.

14. Your Responsibility

Before making any bookkeeping, tax, payroll, software, or business decision based on content from this site, you should consult a qualified Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), tax advisor, lawyer, or other appropriately credentialled professional who can review your specific circumstances.

15. Changes

We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content on this website — including this disclaimer — at any time without notice. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the disclaimer as updated.

16. Governing Law

This disclaimer and your use of the website are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in Ontario, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
