Bookkeeping and Financial Services

Record management, government reporting, training

Strategic decision-making starts with accurate financial data

We’ll help your organization optimize financial record-keeping using a preferred technology stack that includes cloud-based platforms, automations and artificial intelligence. The goal is to help you reduce administrative burden and provide timely, reliable access to quality financial information.

We deliver full-service bookkeeping solutions

We actively manage your company’s financial records and prepare financial statements. That includes processing receivables and bank deposits, payables and cheques, along with payroll and benefits.

We handle government reporting including:

  • Payroll remittances
  • Year-end payroll reporting (T4s, T4As)
  • Sales taxes (GST, PST, HST)
  • T3010 Charities Returns
  • T2 Short Corporate Returns for not-for-profits
  • Bingo and Nevada licensing

Accurate Month-End Reporting

At month-ends, we reconcile bank, loan, investment, payroll and other balance sheet accounts, and review our work before issuing financial statements to your team.

Year-End Ready Support

At year-end, we prepare documentation for audit or for your income tax preparer, and work with your accountant as needed to close the year.

Smarter Management Insights

We can also help you with management reporting by updating the year-to-date actuals in your budget and cash flow spreadsheets.

Training for charity and non-profit organizations

We provide core skills training—both one-on-one coaching and group instruction—in areas ranging from financial statement literacy and Excel functions to managing HST in the charitable sector.

Our integrative instruction is designed to empower your team members to apply skills in a management setting around tasks such as financial report development. Importantly, we can deliver training and organizational development services through grants (e.g. Compass), where we undertake accounting and data systems reviews and ‘tune-ups,’ complemented by staff training.
