Our Process

Six steps. Every month. No exceptions.

A standardized process is what separates reliable bookkeeping from reactive bookkeeping. Here's exactly how we work.

Step 01

Document Intake

Everything starts with complete source documents.

At the start of each month, we collect all bank statements, credit card statements, receipts, and invoices through Hubdoc and the secure client portal. Nothing moves forward until the document set is complete.

Bank and credit card statements via Hubdoc
Receipts and invoices uploaded to the portal
Missing document follow-up before processing begins
Document checklist confirmed complete
Step 02

Transaction Coding

Every transaction categorized to the correct account.

All transactions are coded to the correct accounts in QuickBooks Online using your chart of accounts. Coding follows consistent rules — no guessing, no reclassifications at year-end.

HST/GST tracked on applicable transactions
Payroll entries recorded from source data
Step 03

Bank Reconciliation

Books matched to bank — every account, every month.

Every bank account and credit card is reconciled to the statement balance. Discrepancies are investigated and resolved before the month is closed. No unreconciled accounts carry forward.

Step 04

Review & Flag

Unusual items surfaced before reports are issued.

Before reports are finalized, we review the period for anomalies — unusual transactions, missing entries, or items that need your input. Flagged items are communicated with context, not just a question.

Unusual or large transactions reviewed
Missing entries identified and resolved
Client communication for items requiring input
All flags resolved before report issuance
Step 05

Financial Reporting

Reports issued on schedule, every month.

Once the books are closed, your monthly financial package is prepared and delivered. Reports are consistent in format, so you can track trends month over month without relearning the layout.

Income statement (profit & loss)
Balance sheet
Cash flow report (Standard and Growth plans)
Fund or reserve reports (where applicable)
Step 06

Year-End Handoff

Your accountant gets a clean, organized file.

At year-end, we prepare a complete, reconciled file for your accountant or auditor. Everything is documented and organized so they can get to work immediately — no back-and-forth, no surprises.

All accounts reconciled and closed
Working papers and supporting documents organized
HST/GST summary and filing records included
File delivered to your accountant or auditor
