COMMON QUESTIONS
Helpful answers before we begin.
Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind?
Yes. We provide catch-up bookkeeping for businesses that have fallen behind. We first review your existing records, determine what periods are outstanding and identify missing or unreconciled items. We can then bring the agreed periods up to date and help establish a more consistent bookkeeping routine going forward.
Do you work with my accountant or tax professional?
Yes. If you already work with an external accountant, CPA or tax professional, Simplide can coordinate with them and provide the bookkeeping records and supporting information they require. If you use Simplide for additional accounting services, we can also provide bookkeeping and accounting support within the agreed scope of service.
How often can bookkeeping be completed?
Most ongoing bookkeeping is completed monthly, but the right schedule depends on your transaction volume, number of accounts and reporting needs. Businesses with higher activity may require more frequent support, while catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping can be completed as separate projects. We will recommend a practical schedule after reviewing your business.
What is the difference between catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping?
Catch-up bookkeeping is for businesses with bookkeeping that has not been completed for previous months or periods. Clean-up bookkeeping is for records that have already been entered but may contain errors, inconsistencies or unreconciled accounts. In some cases, a business may need both. We can review your records first and determine what work is required.
Can you help set up bookkeeping for a new business?
Yes. We can help new businesses establish an organized bookkeeping system, including the chart of accounts, opening information, bank and credit-card connections and a practical process for maintaining financial records. If you are using QuickBooks Online, we can also help organize the bookkeeping setup around your business needs.
What bookkeeping software do you work with?
We primarily support cloud-based bookkeeping systems such as QuickBooks Online and can review other accounting software depending on your existing setup. If you are starting from scratch or considering a change, we can discuss a practical system for your business during the consultation.
What do I need to provide for bookkeeping?
The information required depends on your business and the work being completed. It may include bank and credit-card statements, sales and expense records, invoices, receipts, loan information, payroll records and access to your bookkeeping software. We provide a clear checklist so you know what is needed before the work begins.
How do you help prepare my books for year-end?
We keep your bookkeeping records organized and reconciled, review outstanding items and help ensure the available supporting information is properly maintained. This creates a cleaner year-end process and supports financial reporting and tax preparation. If you work with an external accountant or tax professional, we can also provide the organized bookkeeping information they require.
Do you provide bookkeeping only in Toronto?
No. Simplide serves businesses across Toronto and the GTA and can also provide remote bookkeeping support to businesses in other locations where the service can be delivered appropriately through cloud-based systems and secure document sharing.
Can Simplide support a small business looking for a bookkeeper nearby?
Yes. Simplide provides bookkeeping support to small businesses across Toronto and the GTA, with remote service available where appropriate. Your consultation is used to confirm the business type, transaction volume, accounts, software, current condition of the books and the most practical service schedule.
What does Year-End Bookkeeping Preparation include?
