Pricing
A fixed scope,
agreed before we start.
We don’t publish one-size price lists, because a sole proprietor with 40 transactions and a corporation with payroll and monthly HST are different jobs. Instead: tell us about your business, get a recommended configuration now, and a written fixed quote after a short conversation.
Every quote includes
- What’s included — and what isn’t
- What we need from you, and when
- A fixed fee for the defined scope
- Notice before any out-of-scope work
Cost drivers
Six things decide the size of the job.
- VOL
Transaction volume
The number of transactions each month is the biggest driver of bookkeeping time.
- ACC
Accounts
Every bank account, credit card, loan and payment platform needs its own reconciliation.
- EMP
Employees
Payroll adds pay runs, remittances and year-end slips for each person.
- HST
Sales tax frequency
Monthly GST/HST filers file twelve returns a year; annual filers file one.
- CUR
How current the books are
Catch-up work is a separate, one-time project before monthly work begins.
- ENT
Entity type
Corporations file a T2 and have year-end adjustments; sole proprietors report on their T1.

- Anyone looking for a guaranteed refund or a guaranteed outcome with the CRA
Questions
Pricing questions
How much do your services cost?
Fees depend on scope: how many transactions and accounts you have, how many employees, your GST/HST frequency and how current your books are. Use the scope estimator on our pricing page, then we’ll confirm a written quote after a short consultation.
Do you charge by the hour?
Our preference is to agree a fixed fee for a defined scope, so there are no surprises. If something outside the agreed scope comes up, we tell you before doing the work.
Is the consultation free?
The first conversation is about understanding your situation and confirming scope. If there is ever a fee for a consultation, it will be stated clearly before you book.
