𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘆 𝗤𝗕𝗢 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀? 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝟮? 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗦𝗧/𝗛𝗦𝗧 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? You're not alone — 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 Canadian 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: 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝘅. Not just data entry. When you hire me, you get one person handling your monthly books and your T2 at year-end — so nothing gets lost in the handoff between "my bookkeeper" and "my tax guy." 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀: → 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 — done in under 4 weeks. → 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. → Caught roughly $9K in missed ITCs for a marketing agency during a GST/HST cleanup — enough to cover a year of bookkeeping fees and then some. 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵: Canadian small businesses ($500K–$5M revenue) in real estate, startups, professional services, tech/SaaS, and marketing agencies. On QBO, or ready to move there. Wanting one person for bookkeeping and tax, not two. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗯𝘂𝘁-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝗜 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲: Monthly bookkeeping, bank/CC recs, AP/AR, year-end financial statements, T1 and T2 returns, CO-17 for Quebec, GST/HST/QST across all provinces, Dext setup, and cleaning up whatever the last bookkeeper left behind. 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: 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 (Zapier, Make, Google Apps Script) to connect QBO with Shopify, Stripe, or whatever else you're running. The goal isn't "AI magic" — it's making sure you're not paying me to do work a computer could do. Less manual entry = lower fees = cleaner books. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆: 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 — I'll look at your QBO, tell you exactly what's wrong, and let you decide whether you want me to fix it. Chris
