You're not alone โ and you're in the right place.
I'm Chris. I trained at MNP (one of Canada's top-5 accounting firms), I'm a QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor, and for the last decade I've been the person small businesses call when their books are a mess and tax season is closing in.
Here's what makes me different from the other 10,000 bookkeepers on this platform: ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐ โ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐จ๐ฆ. Not just data entry. When you hire me, you get one team handling your monthly books and your returns at year-end, on both sides of the border โ so nothing gets lost in the handoff between "my bookkeeper" and "my tax guy," or between your Canadian accountant and your American one.
๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐:
โ Two companies under one owner, one Canadian and one American, both facing IRS penalties over a permanent establishment problem and the treaty position behind it. Got him out of it โ and we now run the books and the returns for both.
โ Managed the books and the US filings directly for several American consulting firms โ monthly close, federal and state returns, and quarterly estimates.
โ Cleaned up 14 months of backlogged QBO books for a Montreal real estate holdco, reconciled 4 bank accounts and 2 credit cards, and filed two years of T2s โ done in under 4 weeks.
โ Rebuilt the chart of accounts for a SaaS startup drowning in 180+ categories, set up a proper monthly close checklist, and cut their month-end from 3 weeks to 4 days.
โ Caught roughly $9K in missed ITCs for a marketing agency during a GST/HST cleanup โ enough to cover a year of bookkeeping fees and then some.
๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต: Businesses ($500k โ$15M revenue) in the US and Canada โ real estate, startups, professional services, consulting, tech/SaaS, and marketing agencies. On QBO, or ready to move there. Wanting one team for bookkeeping and tax, not two. Cross-border owners especially: a Canadian with a US LLC, a US company with a Canadian parent, or anyone with staff, stock or property on both sides.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด-๐ฏ๐๐-๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐๐๐ณ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ: Monthly bookkeeping, bank/CC recs, AP/AR, year-end financial statements, and cleaning up whatever the last bookkeeper left behind.
๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ: T1 and T2 returns, CO-17 for Quebec, GST/HST/QST across all provinces.
๐จ๐ฆ: 1120, 1120S, 1065 and the K-1s, 1040 and state returns, Schedule C, state sales tax registration and filing wherever you have nexus, 1099s and W-2s, and quarterly estimates so April isn't a surprise.
๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐-๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Permanent establishment and treaty positions, Form 5472 for foreign-owned US companies (the one with the $25,000 penalty that most bookkeepers have never heard of), 5471, FBAR and 8938, Form 8833, and W-8BEN-E so your US customers stop withholding 30% of your invoice.
๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐: I automate the boring stuff. I use Dext to kill receipt data entry, set up bank feeds and rules properly so transactions categorize themselves, and build simple workflows to connect QBO with Shopify, Stripe, or whatever else you're running. The goal isn't "AI magic" โ it's making sure you're not paying me to do work a computer could do. Less manual entry = lower fees = cleaner books.
๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐: Fixed scope, transparent pricing, no surprise invoices, and a real human (me) who picks up when you message. Deadlines don't slip, nothing falls through the cracks.
MNP-trained, Master's in Accounting & Finance (University of Bradford), bilingual EN/FR, QBO Advanced ProAdvisor, and 70+ jobs on Upwork at 100% Job Success. Top Rated.
If your books are a mess and you need someone who'll tell it to you straight, invite me to your job. First 30 minutes are on me โ I'll look at your books, tell you exactly what's wrong, and let you decide whether you want me to fix it.
