Small Business Bookkeeping Services: Packages & Pricing

Payroll Services

Wouldn’t it be a huge relief to have no more late filing penalties or inaccurate deductions? And what about all the time you waste dealing with timesheets, payroll runs, or other time-consuming and tedious functions? As they say, time is money, and wouldn’t you be better off spending that time to earn income instead of fixing problems?

Breathe easy! We’ll make that happen.

Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations

Bank and credit card reconciliations are crucial to accurate and timely bookkeeping records. Without doing these reconciliations on a timely basis, you’ll be making decisions based on inaccurate information, which can lead to cash flow problems. Reconciliations also expose any errors in entries that need to be corrected. It is one of the fundamentals of bookkeeping— like balancing your chequebook but on a much larger scale.

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Our bookkeeping services give you transparency into your accounts receivable (including your cash accounts) and accounts payable. You will be provided with regular reporting to monitor payment status.

GST/HST Filing

Filing for Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) is often confusing for business owners. It’s important to understand when your business must charge GST/HST, in addition to all regulatory filings, reporting, and remitting requirements. Failing to meet tax deadlines may result in late penalties.

Financial Statement Preparation

As part of your bookkeeping package, we’ll also prepare your unaudited year-end financial statements for submission with your corporate tax return: Balance Sheet, Income Statement (P&L), and Statement of Retained Earnings. And we’ll also make the required year-end adjustments to get your statements tax-ready.

Bookkeeping Software

There are a number of choices for online bookkeeping software. We checked out the options and chose QuickBooks Online (QBO). It’s the bookkeeping/accounting software choice for about 75% of Canadian businesses.

Not only does it have a very extensive list of features, but it supports more integrations and add-ons—over 650—than other bookkeeping software options. So no matter which industry you’re in, or which specific bookkeeping needs you have, there’s a QuickBooks integration that will fit the bill.

I'm pretty impressed with the kind of service Platinum Bookkeeping and Tax provides. They were very professional in handling my accounting needs and very informative. I highly recommend Platinum Bookkeeping and Tax for your accounting needs.

I am just concluding my first year in business and have used Platinum as my bookkeeper in this tumultuous year. I will unabashedly say, I couldn't have stayed sane this year without Asif and the Platinum team holding my hand when it came to keeping things straight. Through their paperless process, they helped me keep my receivables, payables, taxes, etc. on track. I would recommend Platinum to any small- to medium-sized organization needing tax and bookkeeping assistance.

They are very easy to work with. Very affordable, very knowledgeable and very professional.
