Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, most businesses benefit from a professional bookkeeper. As your business grows, managing financial records becomes increasingly complex. A bookkeeper ensures your records are organized, accurate, and compliant with CRA requirements. Handling your own books can also take time away from focusing on business growth, and a bookkeeper can help free up that time. While tools like QuickBooks Online are helpful, a professional ensures they’re used effectively, keeping your financial data accurate and up-to-date.

Bookkeeping isn't typically a full-time role for most small businesses, and the workload can fluctuate throughout the year. Instead of dedicating a fixed number of hours to an in-house employee, hiring an external bookkeeper means you only pay for the services you actually need.

Hiring an external bookkeeper also saves you time and money by eliminating the costs of recruiting, training, and managing an employee, as well as expenses like benefits and payroll taxes.

In addition to the cost savings, external bookkeepers typically bring higher levels of experience and expertise. Overall, outsourcing your bookkeeping provides expert financial oversight without the overhead of an in-house employee, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution for many businesses.

Bookkeepers manage the daily financial activities of your business, including recording transactions, categorizing expenses, processing payroll, reconciling bank and credit card statements, filing government remittances, and ensuring accurate record keeping.

Accountants, who often charge a much higher rate, conduct in-depth financial analysis, forecast future financial trends, and handle more complex tax matters. In the early stages, most small businesses typically only require an accountant for tax filing purposes.
