Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping isn’t complex, but it’s critical to the success of your business. Every missed transaction could be costing you over 50% in extra taxes. There are a lot of bad / untrained bookkeepers that advertise themselves as experts. If the price is really low, then there’s likely a reason. If they aren’t requesting documents and asking you questions then be wary. Hiring a good bookkeeper, in my cases, far outweighs the cost and headaches of doing it yourself or hiring a bad bookkeeper.

We only do bookkeeping for corporate clients. If you’re up-to-date, then our monthly accounting plans pack a ton of value. If you have several years of catch up bookkeeping and corporate tax work, don’t worry — you’re not alone — and we can help. As a CPA firm with dedicated on-staff bookkeepers, we know exactly what you can deduct and we use technology that will make your life easier, increase accuracy and help keep the CRA away.

Bookkeeping Services For Grande Prairie, AB

A lot of business owners start off by doing the books themselves instead of outsourcing the bookkeeping services. This usually results in short-term cost savings, but ultimately costs much more than hiring the bookkeeping function out. Books tend to get neglected or done wrong and tax filings are usually missed, resulting in hefty interest and penalties.

Grande Prairie is a unique area with a lot of oil & gas owner-operated companies who understand their industry and are good at what they do. Business owners that add significant value can typically stay busy by practicing their trade. The decision of whether or not to hire out the bookkeeping function boils down to ‘opportunity cost’. Can you make more money doing your job than spending time doing the books yourself? If your time is worth much, then the answer is easy. Even when this isn’t the case, a qualified bookkeeper and CPA can add tremendous value.

Hiring a good bookkeeper, in many cases, far outweighs the cost and headaches of doing it yourself. Still not convinced? That’s okay – maybe you should be handling the bookkeeping yourself. Book a consultation for an honest opinion about your specific situation.
