QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Wave. We work with whatever you are already using, or help you choose if you are starting fresh.

Typically 1–2 weeks. I need access to your accounts, then I clean up any backlog before starting the monthly service.
What if I am behind on my books?
No problem. I offer catch-up bookkeeping to get you current, then we move to a monthly ongoing service.
Do you do in-person meetings?
All services are remote (video calls, email, phone). This keeps costs down and gives you flexibility.

30-day notice required. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees.

How do I get started?
Book a free consultation call. We will discuss your needs, I will give you a quote, and if you are ready we can start within 1–2 weeks.
What information do you need from me?
Access to your accounting software, bank/credit card statements, and any documents related to income and expenses.
How do we communicate?
Monthly video calls for review, email for questions, phone if urgent.
Are you a CPA?
No. I specialize in business bookkeeping and CRA-ready records. TBR does not prepare personal or corporate income tax returns. For income-tax filing or CPA-level advice, I can refer you to a qualified professional and provide accountant-ready books.
Can you represent me if CRA audits me?
I can help you prepare documentation and respond to CRA inquiries. For formal representation in disputes, you would need a licensed tax professional. I can refer.
What if I get a CRA notice?
Forward it to me immediately. I will review it, explain what it means, and help you prepare the required response.
