Frequently Asked Questions

How do I stay on top of all this paperwork?

Are you doing your own bookkeeping and having a difficult time staying on top of everything? In the "busyness" of growing your business your family and friend time is heading south and on top of that, you are getting behind and your books are looking pretty messy. Before you end up with a significant repair cost consider the value of hiring a professional bookkeeper. The time working on your business is likely a better return on your investment.

How will I keep the taxman happy?

The best way to keep CRA happy is to generate, file and pay sales taxes in a timely manner in order to avoid penalties. Generating accurate sales tax amounts requires that all source documents are entered and bank and credit card accounts are reconciled.

Why should I hire a bookkeeper when there are so many accounting software programs available to help me perform this task myself?

The idea of doing your own bookkeeping is appealing at first. It is a feel good and empowering suggestion that is time consuming and if source documents are not entered correctly can become a significant cost to your business. Again, consider the cost to you and the benefits of having a discussion with a professional bookkeeper on what service may be best suited to your needs.
