Meet the bookkeeper

You’re hiring a person, not a firm.

Hi, I’m Franco. I started Moyano & Co. because trades business owners in Barrie deserved better than a generic bookkeeper who doesn’t know a T5018 from a holdback.

I keep my scope clear, document my work carefully and involve your CPA whenever a matter requires tax judgment or assurance. You work directly with me from onboarding through month-end.

Sound familiar?

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. I take it off your plate.

Shoebox of receipts at tax time

Every year it's the same scramble. I 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. I track every deadline and file on time, every time.

Subcontractors, holdbacks & T5018s

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

Job Costing

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.

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

Why Moyano & Co.

I know the trades. I know the numbers.

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

I Speak Trades

Job costing, holdbacks, T5018s, WSIB, and the HST quick method. I 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

I'm right here in Barrie, Ontario. I understand local contractors, Ontario HST rules, and CRA requirements. This is my backyard too.

My commitment

I put it in writing.

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

Next-business-day acknowledgment

Message me on any business day and you'll get an acknowledgment within one business day for Plus & Complete clients, two business days for Core clients, confirming I received your question and when you'll have a full answer. Miss an acknowledgment once and that month is on me. (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 I'm late, you don't pay. (Requires bank access and any documents submitted by the last business day of the month.)

Simple terms, month-to-month

I use a clear engagement letter that sets out exactly what I do and what you pay. Month-to-month terms: cancel with 30 days notice, no penalties, no awkward conversations.

Miss a commitment? You don't pay for that month. Simple.

How it works

Getting started takes less than 30 minutes.

No long onboarding. No jargon. Just clean books starting this month.
