Frequently Asked Questions
How much does bookkeeping cost?
1
Bookkeeping is billed as a fixed monthly fee based on the size and complexity of your business—no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
Most small businesses fall between $250–$850/month. Your books are handled by a trained accountant with a Master of Science in Accounting and audit experience, so your fee includes both the work and the expertise behind it.
What’s included in monthly bookkeeping?
2
Monthly bookkeeping covers the day‑to‑day records that keep your business organized and tax‑ready.
This includes bank and credit card reconciliations, categorizing transactions, invoicing and bill entry, HST/GST tracking, and monthly reports (Profit & Loss, Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable, Cash Summary). Everything’s done in QuickBooks Online using processes shaped by audit experience, so your accounts are reconciled properly and your reports are ready for your tax preparer or lender.
Why Outsource your bookkeeping ?
3
Your time is worth more than chasing receipts and correcting spreadsheets.
Outsourcing costs a fraction of hiring in‑house—no salary, no benefits, no training—and you get clean books, fewer headaches, and more time to focus on growth. With formal accounting training and audit experience behind your books, you also gain confidence that your numbers are accurate and ready to stand up to questions from lenders or tax authorities. The discipline from professional hockey means the work gets done on a consistent monthly rhythm.
