What's Included

Complete outsourced accounting,
all in one flat rate.

One flat rate covers the recurring finance work: transaction coding, month-end close, HST/GST filing in every province, and a year-end package your accountant can work from directly.

Need only the day-to-day ledger work? That's our outsourced bookkeeping service. Working inside software you already own? A virtual bookkeeper or the standard monthly bookkeeping plan may be the closer fit.

Scope

What outsourced accounting
actually covers.

“Outsourced accounting” is a loose label, so here is the honest version. We are a bookkeeping service, and we own the recurring monthly work that keeps your numbers accurate. We are not licensed accountants: we do not file T2 or T1 returns and we do not perform audit or review engagements. That work belongs to a Chartered Professional Accountant, who most small businesses need only a few times a year.

What separates outsourced accounting from plain bookkeeping is the close discipline on top — accruals, adjusting entries, a reviewed trial balance, and a fixed reporting date. That turns a ledger into statements your accountant can use without rebuilding them first.

The Close Cycle

What lands,
and when.

Your close runs on the same calendar every month, so you always know where your numbers are.

01

Days 1–3 — Feeds in

Bank, card, and payment-processor feeds import the prior month. We chase missing receipts and flag anything we can't code without you.

02

Days 4–7 — Reconcile

Accounts are reconciled to statement balances, accruals and payroll entries are posted, then the trial balance is reviewed.

03

By the 10th — Statements

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow arrive in your inbox, with a short note on anything that moved.

04

Filing periods — HST/GST

Returns are filed on the reporting period CRA assigned you, with the remittance amount confirmed before the deadline.

When To Switch

Signs you've outgrown
doing it yourself.

Most owners hand off the books at the same point — not because the numbers are wrong, but because the work has grown past the hours available for it.

Reconciling at midnight
The books have moved to evenings and weekends, because the day job takes the day.
HST periods sneak up
You've paid interest or a late-filing penalty because the deadline arrived before the numbers did.
You can't answer “how did last month go?”
Your bank balance is the only figure you trust, and it says nothing about tax owing.
Year-end costs more than it should
Your accountant's invoice includes hours spent tidying the ledger before any tax work begins.
Two systems disagree
Your invoicing tool, your payment processor, and your books each report a different revenue number.
You're adding staff or entities
More people or a second company multiplies the entries, and a DIY system stops keeping up.

Behind already? Start with catch-up bookkeeping — we bring the backlog current first, then move you onto the monthly close.
