Helping you
run a better firm.

Two bookkeeping clients each pay the firm $1,500 a month. On the revenue report, they look identical. But one takes roughly eight hours of team time per month. The other routinely consumes 18 hours, generates follow-up questions, requires corrections, and needs a partner on the phone at least twice a …

It’s 4:47 PM on Wednesday. Payroll processing starts tomorrow morning for twelve clients. Nine have submitted their information. One sent a spreadsheet with last week’s hours but nothing about the new warehouse hire who started Monday. Another replied to the reminder email with “will…

A client sends over three employee address changes at 4:47 on a Friday. Then a termination notice Monday morning, with an ROE needed “as soon as possible.” By Wednesday they want a custom report breaking out overtime by department, something that was never discussed when the engagement sta…

The bank reconciliation is done. The difference is zero. You saved the report, closed the period, and moved on to the next client file. Then someone pulls up the balance sheet and the GST/HST receivable looks inflated. Or expenses are running 40% higher than last quarter with no obvious reason. Or A/R…

Most bookkeeping errors don’t announce themselves. They accumulate. A transaction coded to the wrong account in January gets copied forward by a bank-feed rule in February. A duplicate import sits unnoticed until the reconciliation difference grows large enough to flag. A client sends a receipt …

Most firms hit a ceiling around 30 to 50 bookkeeping clients. Not because the work per client is hard, but because the same six tasks repeat across every single engagement: importing statements, categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, chasing missing documents, preparing reports, sending deli…

Last January, I migrated a 14-client accounting practice off a legacy payroll system that hadn’t updated its CPP2 calculations in time for the new contribution ceiling. The first pay run of the year went out with incorrect deductions for every single employee across every client. Fixing it took …

Last quarter, a client’s bookkeeper coded every Uber Eats receipt as a fully claimable business expense. Forty-seven transactions. Full GST recovery claimed on all of them. When we pulled the file for review, not one receipt had a documented business purpose, and half were personal meals. The IT…

It was 11 PM on a Tuesday when I got the call. A client’s bookkeeper had quit mid-year, and a CRA production request had just landed. The business had six weeks of unfiled GST/HST returns, source documents scattered across three email accounts, a shoebox of expense receipts, and a bank feed nobo…

Last month, I spent four hours untangling a new client’s books. Not because the transactions were complex—it was a straightforward service business. The problem was their chart of accounts. Sixty-seven expense accounts, half of them duplicates with slightly different names. “Marketing,&#…

It’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday. You’re staring at a Trial Balance that balances perfectly—debits equal credits, everything looks clean—and yet your Balance Sheet is off by $4,200. You’ve checked the totals three times. The numbers match. So where’s the ghost? It’s hiding …

It’s 4:47 PM on a Thursday. The quarterly GST/HST deadline is tomorrow. Your client just sent over a shoebox of receipts—figuratively, but also kind of literally. You open their books and find 43 transactions coded as “Uncategorized,” two months of unreconciled bank statements, and…
