What Our Bookkeeping Service Includes
Every business has unique bookkeeping requirements. A sole proprietor running an online store has different needs than a multi-employee contracting firm. That is why we tailor our service packages rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Here is what our bookkeeping engagement typically covers:
Transaction Recording and Categorization
We record every income and expense transaction into the correct accounts. Proper categorization is critical — it determines the accuracy of your profit and loss statement and directly affects how much tax you owe. Our team follows a standardized chart of accounts and adapts it to your industry, whether that is food services, real estate, healthcare, or professional consulting.
Bank and Credit Card Reconciliation
Reconciliation ensures that your internal records match your bank and credit card statements to the penny. We perform this check monthly, catching duplicate entries, missed transactions, and unauthorized charges before they become larger problems. This process is also one of the first things the CRA reviews during an audit.
Accounts Payable and Receivable Management
Keeping track of what you owe and what is owed to you is essential for healthy cash flow. We manage your AP and AR processes, track aging invoices, and provide reports that help you follow up on overdue payments. For businesses in Scarborough and across the GTA, reliable cash flow management is the difference between thriving and merely surviving.
Financial Statement Preparation
At the end of each reporting period, we prepare your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These documents are required for tax filing, loan applications, and investor due diligence. We deliver them in clear, readable formats so you can make informed decisions without needing to be a numbers expert.
Who Are Our Bookkeeping Services For?
Our bookkeeping clients range from solo entrepreneurs just getting started to established businesses with dozens of employees. Here are some of the businesses we commonly work with in the Scarborough and Greater Toronto Area:

How It Works
Free Consultation
We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your business, your current bookkeeping setup, and your goals. This helps us design the right service package for you.
Onboarding and Software Setup
We set up or connect to your accounting software, import your existing data, and establish your chart of accounts. If you need to switch platforms, we handle the migration.
Ongoing Bookkeeping
On your agreed schedule — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — we record transactions, reconcile accounts, and keep your books current. You receive regular reports and can access your data anytime.
Review and Reporting
At the end of each period, we prepare financial statements and review them with you. We flag any concerns, identify trends, and provide recommendations to improve your financial position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my books be updated?
For most small businesses, monthly bookkeeping is the standard. However, businesses with high transaction volumes — such as retail stores or restaurants — often benefit from weekly or even daily updates. During our initial consultation, we assess your volume and recommend the right frequency to keep your records current without overspending.
Do you work with QuickBooks and Sage?
Yes. Our team is experienced with both QuickBooks Online and Sage 50, as well as Wave, Xero, and FreshBooks. If you already use accounting software, we work within your existing setup. If you are starting fresh, we help you choose and configure the platform that best fits your business size and industry.
Can you catch up on months of backlogged bookkeeping?
Absolutely. Many clients come to us with several months — sometimes years — of unreconciled records. We perform a thorough catch-up engagement, organizing receipts, reconciling bank statements, and producing accurate financial statements so your books are current and CRA-ready.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping involves the day-to-day recording and categorization of financial transactions — things like entering invoices, reconciling bank accounts, and tracking expenses. Accounting takes that data and uses it for higher-level analysis, tax filing, financial planning, and strategic decisions. At CanMore Accounting, we offer both services under one roof.
How much do bookkeeping services cost?
Pricing depends on the volume and complexity of your transactions, the software you use, and how frequently you need updates. We offer flexible monthly packages starting with basic transaction entry and scaling up to full-service bookkeeping with reporting. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your business.
