Good intermediate accountants are hard to find, and a new hire still needs a season to learn your files.
December year-ends pile up in Q1. You need extra hands for a few months, not another permanent salary.
Every hour a senior spends coding transactions is an hour taken from review or billable advice.
We go through the work you want to hand over, your deadlines and how your files are set up.
You give us access the way you choose. We learn your checklists, file naming and review style.
We start with a handful of files so you can check our work before handing over more.
Agreed turnaround times, one named contact and regular check-ins as volume grows.
The preparation work: reconciliations, journal entries, month-end and year-end close, and draft financial statements. Your own staff still review the file, make the judgment calls and own the client relationship.
We work under your firm’s name and inside your systems, so clients don’t deal with us directly. Some provincial CPA bodies expect client consent before files are shared with a third party, so many firms add a line about it to their engagement letter.
We sign an NDA before any files are shared. We work through the access you set up, whether that is a portal, a remote desktop or cloud folders, and you can remove that access at any time.
Most often QuickBooks Online, Xero and Sage 50, alongside tools like Hubdoc, Dext and CaseWare. If your firm uses something else, tell us on the first call and we will say honestly whether we can work in it.
That depends on how much access set-up and training your files need. After the scoping call we give you a realistic start date rather than a sales promise.
It depends on the volume and type of work and the engagement model you choose. We look at a few sample files first, so you know the cost before any work begins.
