Bookkeeping for US and Canadian businesses
The right process depends on where you operate.
Bookkeeping and tax-time support for US small businesses
Keep your books organised throughout the year, not just when a federal or state deadline is close. A reconciled ledger and organised source documents make it easier for a qualified tax preparer to assess income, deductible expenses, asset purchases and contractor payments.
- Contractor-payment records
- Sales-tax transaction summaries, where applicable
- Payroll journal and liability reconciliation
- Year-end workpapers
Tax services may include document organisation, workpapers, coordination with a qualified US tax professional, and return preparation when expressly included and performed by appropriately qualified personnel. No particular filing outcome or tax savings is guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions
Common Questions.
We are building workflows for both markets. Availability depends on your location, structure, accounting needs and the tax work requested. We confirm fit before onboarding.
QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage and Zoho Books, subject to your subscription, data access and engagement requirements.
Often, yes. We assess the period, transaction volume and source documents, then agree a cleanup plan and list items needing your approval.
That depends on country, return type, engagement terms and required qualifications. We confirm during onboarding whether we prepare, coordinate, or provide tax-ready records only.
Pricing depends on transaction volume, accounts and entities, software condition, reporting needs and any catch-up work. We quote a defined scope after an initial review.
