Catch-up & cleanup one-time project

Behind on your books, or the file never quite reconciled? I'll bring you current, reconcile every account, and set up the file properly for the future.

  • Every bank, credit card and loan account reconciled for each month, miscategorized and duplicate entries fixed, the chart of accounts cleaned up, back GST returns prepared where needed, and a written "state of your books" summary at the end.
  • Fixed quote before any work starts. If the real volume turns out much higher than estimated, you'll get a revised quote by email before I continue.
  • Projects more than 12 months behind are quoted individually.
  • Typical turnaround: about 2 business days per month of backlog once I have your records.
  • Catch-up clients who move to a monthly plan get [first month at X% off / setup fee waived].

Payroll is available as an add-on: [payroll price, or "quoted on request"]. Over your plan's transaction limit? I'll let you know and suggest the right plan before anything changes.

Why these prices: Canadian online bookkeeping commonly runs about $259–$599/month for typical small businesses, with full-service plans up to about $800–$899. The Controller plan is priced above that because it adds a real month-end close, management reporting, inventory and unit costing, and receivables follow-up: the work I did as a hotel controller and in oilfield bookkeeping.

Automation add-ons CAD/month

Small systems that save you time or bring in money, set up and looked after for you. They work with QuickBooks Online, FreshBooks and Xero, plus your phone and email. Add them to any monthly plan, or buy them on their own.
