Frequently Asked Questions

Even if your bookkeeping is simple and you can do it yourself, hiring an accountant still has its advantages. An accountant can provide you with professional expertise and advice that can help you make informed financial decisions. They can also help you ensure that your books are accurate and up to date, which can help you avoid errors and penalties.

While accounting software can be a useful tool for bookkeeping, there are still several advantages to hiring a CPA firm. A CPA firm has a team of experts with specialized knowledge and experience in accounting, tax laws, and financial reporting. They can provide valuable insights and advice that accounting software may not be able to offer.

Our bookkeeping packages in Coquitlam are based on your monthly transaction volume and complexity. Most small businesses pay between $400-$1,000 per month for complete bookkeeping services. This includes monthly financial reports, bank reconciliation, accounts payable/receivable, and year-end preparation. We quote a fixed monthly fee upfront, so no surprise bills. Contact us for a free consultation and we’ll review your needs and provide exact pricing.

Our virtual solutions allow seamless collaboration and access to your financial records from anywhere, ensuring convenience and flexibility for your business needs.

Our standard monthly bookkeeping package includes: bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable entry and tracking, accounts receivable and invoicing, general ledger maintenance, monthly financial statements (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet), GST/HST preparation (if applicable), and year-end tax preparation support. Additional services like payroll processing, PST filing, and WCB reporting can be added for an additional fee.

The main difference between a CPA accountant and a bookkeeper is the level of education, training, and expertise. A CPA accountant has completed a college degree in accounting and has passed the CPA exam, which requires additional coursework and professional experience. They are licensed by their state and are held to high ethical and professional standards. A bookkeeper, on the other hand, typically has a high school diploma or some college coursework in accounting and may have some experience in bookkeeping tasks.

  1. Expertise and Experience: CPA firms have extensive knowledge and experience in accounting, tax laws, and financial reporting. They are trained to handle complex financial transactions, and they stay up to date with the latest laws and regulations. They can provide valuable insights into your financial data that can help you make informed decisions.
  2. Quality of Work: CPA firms are held to higher standards than bookkeepers. They have a reputation to uphold, and they must maintain their license by adhering to strict ethical and professional standards. This means that they are more likely to produce high-quality work than a bookkeeper.
  3. More Comprehensive Services: CPA firms offer a wide range of financial services beyond bookkeeping, including tax planning and preparation, audit and assurance services, and financial consulting. This means that you can get all your financial needs met by one firm, rather than hiring multiple professionals.
  4. Risk Management: Hiring a CPA firm can help mitigate risk for your business. They can help you identify potential financial risks and provide solutions to minimize them. They can also help ensure that your financial statements are accurate, reducing the risk of errors or fraud.
  5. Scalability: As your business grows, your financial needs will become more complex. A CPA firm can provide the resources and expertise to handle the increased workload. They can also provide valuable guidance as you navigate new financial challenges.
