Bookkeeping

Every well-organized business starts with good, solid bookkeeping. Without well-kept books, it is difficult to plan for decisions that affect the future of the business.

How can you tell a business has its books in order? You can tell because a business owner can answer key questions about his or her business:
– How much are we making and spending this year compared to last year?
– What are our revenues and costs going to be in the future?
– What do we have to report to Canada Revenue Agency, and how?
– What happens if we get audited?

If you can’t answer these questions without hesitation, you may need some bookkeeping help.

In general, a business needs to track two categories of financial records:
– Income records
– Expense records

When you hire J. Armstrong Shapter Inc. to do your bookkeeping, you can be assured that your income and expense records will be kept accurately, thoroughly, and securely. We can quickly turn your receipts and invoices into computerized financial statements that make sense, and GST returns that make sure that every bit of tax you are owed gets refunded as soon as possible.

Our rates are very reasonable, and your statements are available to you at your request.
