One

We work in your software rather than moving you to ours

Plenty of firms support one platform and ask every client to move to it. That is convenient for the firm and expensive for the business, because a migration done for the accountant's benefit still costs you history, time and risk. HBT works across the six platforms Canadian small businesses actually use: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, Wave, FreshBooks and Zoho Books, along with QuickBooks Desktop files that have not been moved across yet.

What matters is not which logo is on the login screen but whether the file is set up correctly underneath. A chart of accounts that matches how you report, GST codes that produce a return you can file without adjusting it by hand, bank feeds that reconcile, and opening balances that agree to the last filed year end. Where a move between platforms genuinely is the right answer we will say so, quote it, and carry the history across properly.

Conversion between platforms

Moving from desktop to cloud or between providers with history carried across rather than abandoned.

Cleanup of an existing file

Unreconciled accounts, miscoded GST and duplicate entries corrected. Cleanup from $500, historical reconstruction from $750.

Three

How the work begins

  1. Step 1: Look at the file as it is

    Which platform, how it was set up, what reconciles and what does not.

  2. Step 2: Fix or move, with a price first

    A clear recommendation on whether to repair the current file or move, quoted before work starts.

  3. Step 3: Keep it running

    Monthly bookkeeping in that platform, or a handover so your own staff can maintain it.

Four

Which accounting software do you support?

QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, Wave, FreshBooks and Zoho Books, plus QuickBooks Desktop files. Setup or conversion starts at $500 and monthly bookkeeping at $500 per month. We will work in whichever platform you already use and only recommend a change where there is a clear reason for it, with the cost quoted before anything moves.

Setup or conversion from $500+. Monthly bookkeeping from $500/mo+. Cleanup from $500+. Amounts are starting prices plus GST or HST where it applies. Final fees depend on scope, and we quote a fixed fee once the work is clear. See starting fees. The first conversation is free and takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
