Behind on your books? Numbers that don't match the bank? A bookkeeper who disappeared halfway through the year? That's usually when clients call me. I'm Sher, a QuickBooks and Xero ProAdvisor with 10+ years of bookkeeping experience and an MBA in Accounting & Finance from the University of Toronto. I work with small businesses in the US and Canada, service businesses, agencies, consultants, ecommerce sellers, and rental property owners and I fix books properly, not just categorize until the totals look right. Here's what I typically handle: → Cleanup and catch-up: rebuilding months or full years of books from bank statements and source data → Monthly bookkeeping: bank, credit card, PayPal and Stripe reconciliations, bills, invoices, AP and AR → QuickBooks and Xero setup: new files, migrations, and a chart of accounts that fits your business → Ecommerce: Shopify and Amazon payouts reconciled with fees, refunds and sales tax separated, plus A2X or Synder setup → Year-end: clean, tax-ready books for Canadian corporations and US businesses, ready for your CPA → Monthly P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow reports you can actually read What clients mention most in their reviews: I explain things clearly, I hit deadlines, and I finish the job. One client brought me in after their previous bookkeeper let them down. Another has kept me on their books for over two years. Send me a message with the software you use and roughly how far behind you are. I'll review it and get back to you with a fixed quote, usually within a few hours.
