If your books are behind, messy, or hard for your accountant to make sense of, I can fix that, and then keep them clean every month going forward. I'm a Canadian full-cycle bookkeeper with over 20 years of experience. Most clients come to me one of two ways: their books have fallen behind and year-end is approaching, or they're tired of bookkeeping that creates more questions than answers every month. I solve both, usually starting with a cleanup and moving into ongoing monthly bookkeeping once your books are current. How I typically work with clients Phase 1, Cleanup: I review and correct categorization, reconcile every account month by month, fix the chart of accounts, and hand off financials that are ready for tax filing or professional review with no follow-up questions attached. Phase 2, Monthly Bookkeeping: Once your books are current, I keep them that way. Categorization, reconciliations, AR and AP upkeep, and month-end reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash position), delivered on a consistent schedule so you and your accountant are never scrambling. What I help with - Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping, months or years behind - Full-cycle monthly bookkeeping (AP, AR, general ledger) - Bank and credit card reconciliations - GST/HST/PST tracking and filing across provinces - Month-end and year-end prep, packaged for your accountant - Financial statement preparation (P&L, balance sheet) Why clients keep me on I focus on the structure of the general ledger, not just transaction categorization. When a file leaves my hands, it's fully reconciled, properly categorized, supported by documentation, and ready for tax prep. My goal is no surprises and no unnecessary back-and-forth at year-end. My experience includes audited nonprofit environments in Winnipeg (Main Street Project, Ka Ni Kanichihk, Macdonald Youth Services), where documentation and audit trail standards were strict, that discipline carries into every file I touch. Software QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50, and advanced Excel (reconciliation, pivot tables, VLOOKUP, macros). If your books need a cleanup, or you want monthly bookkeeping that finally feels reliable, I'm happy to take a look and talk through the best way forward.

Customized bookkeeping, coaching, and cash management services for those seeking: • accurate and current books • increased cash reserves • confidence when facing tax filings, audits, or lender reviews I genuinely desire to support my clients’ success. As a certified Advanced QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and experienced Wave user I specialize in cloud-based accounting. I've served clients based across the United States as well as in Canada and the United Kingdom. I’ll help with accounting set-up, troubleshooting, maintenance, reporting, and the fundamentals of cash management. I offer quick and responsive service in combination with ethical, reliable, and thorough work. I’m experienced in dealing with both accrual and cash accounting systems, and with payroll, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. I'll help you understand your financial results as reported in the accounting software, and support you in using that understanding to improve operations, increase profitability and savings, and move more rapidly towards accomplishing any other specific results you have in mind for your business. MY IDEAL CLIENT: You are looking for a long-term professional collaboration. You understand that current and accurate accounting helps your business both survive and thrive. You are proactive about the bookkeeping for that reason, well in advance of any demands placed by government agencies, lenders, banks, granting organizations, or business partners. You operate ethically, avoiding non-compliance. SPEAKING OF COMPLIANCE: Please take note that bookkeepers face possible legal consequences if their clients pay employee or contractor hires "under the table," which can include claiming that employees are contractors, not issuing required 1099s or T4 slips , and paying bonuses off payroll. The same is true if you engage in off-the-books cash sales or if I see evidence of money laundering. If I find myself in any of the above scenarios, I'll disengage. Re: businesses that pursue multi-level (network / direct) marketing - I assess these on a case by case basis. THIS WON'T WORK OUT: If you're facing a bookkeeping emergency that requires fixing within 24 to 72 hours, I'm not the right candidate. If the above sounds good to you, please send me an invite or a direct message. Wishing you a great day!
