What does bookkeeping cost in Canada

Ongoing work and catching up are not the same price

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500 per month. Bookkeeping bundled with the year end starts at $750 per month. Those are the ongoing numbers, and they assume the books are current when the engagement begins.

Where they are not, the catch up is quoted on its own so you can see both figures before deciding. A cleanup or catch up starts at $500 and historical reconstruction at $750. Individual pieces are priced too: bank reconciliation from $150 per account per month, accounts payable or receivable from $250 per month, inventory accounting from $350 per month.

How the work begins

2. 2

   Step 2: Two numbers if needed

   One to clear any backlog, one to keep things current. Both before you decide.

3. 3

   Step 3: A monthly rhythm

   A close schedule that fits the business, with the same person on the file.
