FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the difference between what a Bookkeeper does and what an Accountant does?
A bookkeeper makes sure that your business’ income and expenses are all recorded properly. An accountant then takes the bookkeeping data and forms the reporting necessary for the Canadian Revenue Agency. The challenge is when the bookkeeping data has been entered incorrectly. That makes the reports that the Accountant prepares, also incorrect and costs time and money to correct. The importance of using a first-rate bookkeeper is key to making informative and cost-effective business decisions.
Contact UsWhy should you hire a bookkeeper?
It's highly recommended that you hire a bookkeeper as soon as you start your business at the very least to show you how everything works so that if you decide to do the bookkeeping yourself, it will be done correctly. That way you'll avoid all the mistakes that novices make. At the end of the year, bring us back in to make sure that no mistakes have been made. Our Services can cost as little as 4 hours per year, dependent on your activity. Bookkeepers can create reports and do analysis based on the records they keep thereby saving you money and time with your Accountants.
