Over 500 transactions a month, or something that does not fit the three? Ask — it gets quoted individually.

The rate does not move

Your monthly rate is quoted up front and stays there unless your scope changes — in which case we requote first, before any of it happens.

Add-ons priced on their own

Payroll and GST/HST filing sit outside the monthly rate rather than being folded into everyone's, so a business with no staff and no GST number is not paying for either.

Behind? Hourly, quoted first

Catch-up on prior months is $50 an hour and quoted before any of it starts, so it never gets buried inside your ongoing monthly rate.

Questions are not billable

Calling to ask what something means does not turn into a line item. If you are afraid to ask your bookkeeper a question, you have the wrong bookkeeper.

Leave whenever

No lock-in. If you go elsewhere, your files and records are exported and handed over — they are yours.

Getting started

Three steps to hand it over

STEP 01

A conversation

You tell us what you run, roughly how many transactions a month, and how far behind you are — honestly. Nothing here is a surprise to a bookkeeper.

STEP 02

A written quote

The package that fits your volume, at a flat monthly rate, with a written list of exactly which work is included. Payroll, GST/HST filing and any catch-up work are quoted separately so you can see what each one costs.

STEP 03

We take it from there

You get read-only access set up, hand over statements and receipts, and from then on your statements arrive every month.

Stop guessing at your numbers.

Tell us what shape your books are in. No judgement — behind is the normal starting point.
