Bookkeeping Services
Stop dreading doing your bookkeeping & get back to growing your business with confidence
Hiring a professional bookkeeper means I track all of the incoming revenue and outgoing expenditures in a manner that is consistent with government policy and bookkeeping best practices. So you can get back to running your business, worry-free.
You don’t need to hire an accountant to get professional bookkeeping services
There are a lot of reasons why you want to work with a bookkeeper. Things like saving time you’d have spent tending to your books, trying to track down incorrect data entries when tax deadlines are looming. But here are the reasons why you should work with a professional bookkeeper:
Your bookkeeping will conform to CRA standards, no matter how many new rules have been put in place since last year.
Your accounting will be completed with the highest level of attention to detail—no receipts missing or data entry mistakes.
You’ll know with certainty when and where you have opportunities for growth without wondering if you’ve calculated correctly.
Your books will be kept up-to-date, so you’ll be ready with financial statements and more when funding opportunities arise.
You’ll save hours every week and skip the dread that comes around at tax time when you try to balance your GST/HST and your books.
You’ll sleep well at night knowing your books are safe in the hands of a professional and you’ll have the best outcome during tax season.
“We approached Upstart Consulting because we had grown enough that we needed help with our bookkeeping but weren’t yet big enough to hire a full-time bookkeeper. In Haley, we have a highly qualified person dedicated to keeping our books in order, who, at the same time, helps us forecast our budgets and manage our cash flows. Haley’s understanding of business management, as well as financial management, is very helpful. Upstart has become a trusted and valued member of the extended Blue House Energy team.”
