Essential
Filler
“DIY with support”
This package is for you if you want to do as much of the work as you can on your own, and have a second set of eyes to review and provide some basic advice. You’ll have a pro at your back helping you out and holding you accountable.
QuickBooks Online Plus is Intuit’s top-of-the line package in Canada and includes a wealth of features and more than 65 reporting additional management reports. We provide this version to all of our clients.
It retails (April 2021) for over $700.00 CAD per year.
Fussing with paper is a nightmare, isn’t it? Hubdoc is a system that removes that burden for bills, invoices and those pesky credit card receipts. Between your smartphone, email and scanner, you’ll move all that stuff to the cloud and it will be available for me to review. No more pestering you about an invoice! No more filing! And even better, I’m supplying it to you free of charge and will show you how to use it.
Hubdoc is included with all of your packages and has a retail value of $180.00 CAD per year (April 2021).
Reconciling your books to your bank account balance is the first step to ensuring that your numbers are accurate and complete. It means there are no missing or unexplained transactions, your sales figures are correct and all your expenses and deductions are accounted for!
Your “Chart of Accounts” is the list of accounts needed to run your business; it includes sales, other income types, expenses and assets (stuff you own) and liabilities (stuff you owe). As your company grows the Chart sometimes needs changing to keep pace.
Even if everything is entered into the correct account, I’ll review the totals and see if anything looks odd. If so, I’ll alert you.
After the accountant has finished her work, there’s always some adjustments to be made to the books. I’ll enter them and ensure that everything is in order.
To protect your privacy, CRA won’t talk to me about your business without your permission. We’ll file the right forms so I’m enrolled in the CRA’s “Represent a Client” program for your accounts.
I can then handle any inquiries or check on your company’s HST and corporate tax payments online.
What if you have questions about your bookkeeping? Even with the best training, there will be times when you’re not sure how to account for a transaction. With the Premium and Full packages, you get unlimited email and telephone support—including, if needed, a Zoom call where I can take over remote control of your screen and step you through what needs to be done for your future reference.
What if you have some general business questions?
You don’t have feel like the meter is ticking anytime you contact me—because it isn’t!
Don’t panic about letters or calls from the CRA or other agencies asking for information. Call me and I’ll investigate and provide the necessary information.
If it’s an actual audit or not a routine matter, then I’ll provide a separate fixed price quotation before the work is done.
Watching your receivables is vital to your cash flow. Who owes you how much—and when is it due? Have you forgotten to collect money from someone (yes, that does happen sometimes!) Billed someone twice for the same service? Are there any bad debts?
We’ll go over your receivables and discuss them during our regular review sessions.
Your payables are also important for your cash flow and we’ll also review them during our regular review sessions.
We’ll meet on a regular basis to discuss the meaning of your financials and other management issues, compare your progress, and discuss any plans for the future. Looking at your numbers once a year is like always driving your car in reverse, and steering by looking in the mirrors—you’ll get to where you’re going, but slowly and painfully—and probably late. Let’s get proactive and move forward confidently.
There’s a whole eco-system of 3rd-party applications that can be added on to Quickbooks Online that will save you time and aggravation. We’ll discuss your particular needs and identify some possible solutions.
Once we’ve identified some of the additional apps that can help you, I’ll work with you to set them up. This service is included in Premium and Full packages and is available for an extra fee in the Essential Setup package.
