If any of this sounds like you, we should talk.

Most trades business owners don't have a bookkeeping problem. They have a time problem. We take it off your plate.

Shoebox of receipts at tax time

Every year it's the same scramble. We get you organized year-round so tax season is just another Tuesday.

Not sure which jobs are profitable

You're busy and billing well, but are you actually making money? Job costing shows you which work is worth taking.

Worried about HST & CRA deadlines

Missing an HST remittance costs you in interest and penalties. We track every deadline and file on time, every time.

Subcontractors, holdbacks & T5018s

Construction bookkeeping has layers. We know T5018 contractor slips, holdback tracking, and WSIB, so you don't have to.

Everything your books need, nothing you don't.

Flat-rate, cloud-based bookkeeping built for how trades businesses actually operate.

See which jobs actually make money.

Most trades owners bill well but don't know their actual margins by job type. Job costing shows you exactly where you're making money and where you're not.

We track materials, labour, and overhead per project so you can make smarter decisions about which work to take.

We know the trades. We know the numbers.

Anyone can do bookkeeping. Not everyone understands holdbacks, T5018 slips, or why your busiest month can still be your worst.

We Speak Trades

Job costing, holdbacks, T5018s, WSIB, and the HST quick method. We understand the finances of construction and trades businesses.

100% Cloud-Based

QuickBooks Online and Xero mean your books are accessible from anywhere: job site, truck, or home. No drop-off appointments.

Local to Barrie

We're right here in Barrie, Ontario. We understand local contractors, Ontario HST rules, and CRA requirements. This is our backyard too.

We put it in writing.

These aren't marketing lines. They're the baseline we hold ourselves to with every client, backed by a real guarantee.

Same-day acknowledgment

Message us on any business day and you'll get a same-day confirmation we received your question and when you'll have a full answer. Core clients: 2 business days. Plus & Full Charge: 1 business day. Miss an acknowledgment once and that month is on us. (Excluding scheduled vacation and statutory holidays, communicated in advance.)

Books by the 15th, every month

Reconciled books and your monthly summary in your inbox by the 15th of the following month. If we're late, you don't pay. (Requires bank access and any documents submitted by the last business day of the month.)
