So often we begin our businesses having a certain amount of knowledge when it comes to the finances. We begin recording our transactions on a ledger, a spreadsheet, or into a software program so that we can keep track of the income and expenses of the company.
But very often we do not have any accounting background, or any idea as to how to best record our finances. We make mistakes from the beginning that are carried forward week after week, year after year until eventually a qualified bookkeeper has to come in to fix the problem. This is a frustrating and potentially costly problem for many businesses today.
Montreal Bookkeeping has years of experience in helping businesses get started the RIGHT way so that they end up with a “clean” set of books for the lifetime of the company. We can also provide training to you and your staff in how to use those software programs properly and to your advantage. Once you have a handle on the day-to-day order entry, it is a much more cost-efficient strategy to have a professional bookkeeper come in once a month, once a quarter or even once a year to verify your transactions, file your GST/QST, help with problems, and prepare your year-end financial statements for your accountant. All it might take is a half or full-day session with us to set you up properly for the lifetime of your business. Doesn’t that make perfect sense?
