N° 01 Who we serve

Books for people who'd rather be working.

Owner-operated, Calgary-based, too busy to babysit a bookkeeper. Sound familiar?

a.

Trades & contractors

Progress billing, holdbacks, and a glovebox of fuel receipts. We've reconciled worse.

b.

Clinics & studios

Split-practitioner revenue, direct billing, room rent — clean per-provider numbers, monthly.

c.

Restaurants & cafés

POS batches, tip-outs, and produce vendors who still invoice on paper. Tied out weekly.

d.

Consultants & agencies

Three revenue streams, GST instalments, and a home-office claim done properly for once.

N° 02 Pricing

Flat monthly pricing, written in ink.

Three plans, one ledger. If a month runs past your cap, we tell you before we bill — not after. Prices in CAD; GST extra, obviously.

Every plan is month-to-month with 30 days' notice, no onboarding fee, and a named bookkeeper who answers email. Between plans? Get quoted — the whole point is a flat number.

Year-end add-on covers the T2 corporate return, GST reconciliation, and T4/T5 slips, prepared from books we kept — which is why the number can be flat.

N° 03 The monthly rhythm

Ten days. Then you know.

Most bookkeeping fails on cadence, not competence. Ours runs on a fixed one: the same ten days, every month, whether or not you remember we exist.

Any given month Close window · days 1–10
M T W T F S S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Your previous month, reconciled and reported. Every month. By the 10th.
  1. We pull the feeds

    Bank, credit card, POS and payroll connect read-only on day one. Nothing for you to export, scan, or remember.

  2. We reconcile & categorize

    Every transaction matched and coded. Questions come batched in one short email — not seventeen.

  3. You get the owner report

    Two pages, plain English: cash position, what changed, what to watch. Read it over coffee; done before it's cold.

N° 04 Switching

Moving from a shoebox, a spreadsheet, or a bookkeeper who stopped replying?

All three arrive here weekly, and the story ends the same way: we handle the handover, and any catch-up bookkeeping is quoted flat before we touch a single transaction.

Behind by eleven months? You wouldn't be our record. The record is fine — the record is caught up now.

  1. i.One authorization

    You sign once. We collect statements, CRA access, and whatever your last bookkeeper left behind — including the silence.

  2. ii.Catch-up, quoted flat

    We assess the backlog and price it in writing before work starts. The quote is the invoice.

  3. iii.First close inside 30 days

    Your first month lands reconciled and reported. After that, the 10th does what the 10th does.

N° 05 Proof

What owners say when the 10th keeps happening.

I used to find out how the year went in April. Now I find out on the 10th, and April is just a month.
— owner, HVAC company, 6 staff
The report is two pages and I read both. That has never once been true of anything my last bookkeeper sent.
— owner, physiotherapy clinic, 4 practitioners
They quoted the catch-up flat, hit the number, and cleared eleven months of backlog. Then it just kept being done.
— owner, restaurant, 22 staff

Year-end, with a second set of initials.

Every year-end file — T2 return, GST reconciliation, T4 and T5 slips — is prepared by your bookkeeper and reviewed by a Chartered Professional Accountant before it's filed. Two people read your numbers before the CRA does.

One email. One flat number. In writing.

Tell us what you run and what the books look like now — shoebox included. We'll reply within one business day with a flat monthly quote. Not a range. Not “it depends.”
