The client relationships we form are vitally important
What our clients are saying about us: “We were initially recommended to Garnet and his team by a fellow colleague who has been happy with their services, and now I can absolutely see why! Not only are we paying less than half of what we used to pay, but the service is exponentially better. You can tell that they really care about the people they are serving, and will go to drastic measures to make sure that everything goes smoothly. Couldn’t be happier – and will never work with anyone else again!” Ariana Rehak...

read moreA milestone to remind us how far we’ve come!

read moreWhy your business needs proper bookkeeping
When anyone becomes the owner or manager of a small business, he or she instinctively knows that keeping a good set of books and keeping them up to date is imperative to maintaining business success. Current accounting records are required to run payroll, to manage and remit timely sales tax payments, and let’s face it, the Canada Revenue Agency is patient, but they can only be so patient when it comes to a business’s year-end and tax filing.
