Bookkeeping Services for Small Businesses in BC

We offer monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and personal tax filing, along with advisory sessions and strategic planning to help you use your numbers to make better decisions. Every new client starts with a catch-up, clean-up, or migration to get your books accurate first.

 The catch-up or clean-up step is where every client starts. In our experience, skipping it just means the same problems show up later, so we build it into every engagement to make sure your ongoing bookkeeping starts on solid ground.

Once we have the documents we need and get started, most catch-ups take one to three weeks, depending on how much needs to be sorted out. Because we take on a limited number of new clients each month, there may also be a short wait to get started.

Accurate numbers are the starting point, not the whole deal. Once your books are in order, we use them to help you make real decisions: whether you can afford to hire, where costs are creeping up, or when growth is starting to stall. You get regular check-ins instead of a once-a-year surprise, someone who catches problems early instead of after they've cost you money, and a bookkeeper who actually knows your business well enough to have that conversation with you.

The first step is to get your bookkeeping on track. This can range from $1,200 - $4,000 or more, depending on how many years we need to go back. Once that step is complete, the initial strategic consultation meetings are included in that price. With those two pieces in place, we can set up a package for monthly bookkeeping. Monthly bookkeeping starts at $495/month and can increase based on volume, complexity, payrolls, or CRA engagements. 

We work primarily with Quickbooks Online and Sage Desktop. We often work within other supportive apps such as Shopify, Jobber, or Jane. This will depend on the client. During the first step of working together, we assess your current accounting software and consider if other software would benefit your business.
