I'm a tech guy with a project management background ready to help develop solutions for your data specific financial/accounting problems. Specializing in Wave accounting, I'm ready to get you set up for your Canadian sole-proprietorship or corporation bookkeeping. I know Wave inside and out, and can help you even where Wave's own support can't. While I'm capable of taking on larger projects, my preference is for smaller scopes of work, where I would stay engaged as an advisor after completion. Here's a short list of some of the scopes I excel at in Wave: - Quick and efficient setup/reorganization of your Chart of Accounts - Multi-currency setup and support, including revaluation of foreign accounts - Year-end preparation of books for accountants, including deep reviews, account reconciliation, proving of A/R and A/P balances - Sales tax return preparation - Entering year-end adjustment entries provided by an accountant to ensure the trial balance matches perfectly - Wave Payroll management - Migration to Wave from other platforms (QBO, FreshBooks, Xero, etc.) - Setting up API integrations to automatically push Stripe, Wise, and PayPal (and other) transactions into Wave - And finally, leveraging in-house built automation tools that through Wave's API can: -- Bulk categorize transactions using complex rules -- Bulk create/modify transactions, journal entries, invoices, customers, accounts, and products -- Bulk send invoices -- Bulk mark invoices as paid Here's what I won't do: - Work in any accounting platform other than Wave or QBO - Prepare forecasts/budgets - Prepare/file returns through Revenu Quebec (other than TPS/TVQ returns) - Client- and vendor-facing administrative tasks (eg: A/R and A/P administration) - Human Resources functions I work primarily remotely, using Google Drive/Docs/Sheets to prepare and collaborate with you. If you're very comfortable using Google's suite of web applications, we'll work great together! But I'm willing to help you get set up properly for that, if that's something you're looking for. While bookkeeping and technical work is where I thrive, I do have experience looking after tax accounting functions as well, particularly for simpler companies. I'm experienced and ready to help with the following: - Prepare financial reports on a periodic basis (monthly, quarterly, or annually) - Year-end books preparation and review for accountants - Enter year-end adjustments provided by an accountant to ensure the trial balance matches perfectly - Interface with the CRA for GST/HST, Payroll, and Corporate Tax program account administration - Basic payroll/contractor administration, source deduction remittance preparation, and year-end filing (T4 and T4A slips) - GST/HST return preparation and filing (Including using the Quick Method) - Provincial tax return preparation and filing (BC, MB, SK) - Preparing GST/QST returns for Quebec-based clients (not including filing) - Prepare T2125 Statement of business income form (we have an in-house worksheet that makes this quick) - Preparing cost accounting worksheets (landed cost, etc.) For clients of my bookkeeping services, I sometimes provide the following services (under specific circumstances): - Prepare and file personal taxes (T1 returns) - Prepare and file basic corporate taxes (T2 returns) - Prepare and file corporate dividend slips (T5 returns) - Prepare and file annual corporate information returns for Federal and Ontario based corporations As I'm not a CPA, I won't be able to prepare a Notice to Reader or other official engagements. Some additional tasks I can help with: - Quickly analyzing/reporting on bulk data from eCommerce sites such as Amazon, Square, PayPal, eBay, Stripe, etc. - W-8BEN-E and W-8BEN form completion

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!
