Book a Free Kick-Off Call

We'll chat about your business' needs and the services we offer to see if we're a good fit. During the call, which typically takes 15-30 minutes, we'll request that you provide 3 months of bank statements & access to your bookkeeping system for us to review - this will allow us to give you a quote on the spot.

Signed Contract & Initial Fee

If you choose to move forward with our services, the next step is to sign a contract which will be emailed to you and can be signed on your phone or computer - as well as to provide the initial fee.

Onboarding Meeting (Virtual)

After we receive your signed contract & initial payment, we will schedule your onboarding meeting. This call is done virtually on either zoom or google meets and typically takes 30-60 minutes. We'll work together to get everything setup for success which includes giving us access to your bookkeeping system (or creating it if you don't have one yet), CRA & WCB accounts, view-only access to your bank account and any other systems that we need. We'll also go over the blueprint for how we will work together moving forward - sharing documents, communication, etc.

Moving Forward

After your onboarding meeting, we'll be ready to start working together. You'll know what we need from you and what to expect from us!

I have a few years to catch up on and don't want to take a picture of every receipt - what now?

Whether you are local to us (Nampa, AB area) or not, you can get your documents to us by giving us access to the systems you use - bookkeeping system, CRA account, Business Bank Account (view-only access), etc. Receipts tend to be the tricky part, so we recommend having the bookkeeping system app on your phone and when you take a picture of your receipt it automatically uploads it - we can show you how!
