FAQs
We specialize in helping Canadian Not-for-Profits and Businesses with their financial operations.
I have multiple years of catch up. Can you help?
Yes! There is no limit on how far back we can go.
What do you need to get my catch-up bookkeeping done?
It depends, but we will need your last set of year end financial statements from your CPA (if any) and your last tax return filed (if ever filed). We will also need bank and credit card statements for the relevant catch-up periods along with receipts that you have to support business transactions.
Do you offer catch-up bookkeeping services only?
We only offer catch-up bookkeeping services to clients that we are onboarding for ongoing monthly services.
Do I need separate business bank and credit card accounts for bookkeeping?
Yes, for ongoing bookkeeping services it is important to have dedicated business bank and credit card accounts. This helps keep your financial records organized and ensures accurate reporting. However, if you have previously used personal accounts for business transactions, we can still help. Our catch-up bookkeeping services are designed to sort through mixed transactions and get your books up to date.
Which bookkeeping software do you use?
Quickbooks Online and Xero are the only platforms we work with.
