Bookkeeper in Abbotsford, BC

A local bookkeeper, not a call centre

You get one dedicated bookkeeper in Abbotsford — the same person every month, who knows your business and answers when you call. No offshore handoffs, no ticket numbers.

Send receipts and statements however suits you: a photo from the truck, an email, or a shared folder. If you'd rather sit down in person and go through the numbers together, we can do that too.

What Abbotsford businesses ask us for most

Almost every new Abbotsford client arrives with one of the same three problems: months of unfiled records, a QuickBooks file that has drifted out of shape, or GST returns that are behind and starting to attract penalties. All three are fixable, and all three are cheaper to fix now than next year.

• Catch-up bookkeeping for months or years of backlog
• GST/PST registration, filing and instalment planning
• Payroll with CRA source deductions, T4s and ROEs
• QuickBooks Online and Xero setup and cleanup
• Year-end packages your accountant can work straight from

What monthly bookkeeping costs in Abbotsford

We quote a flat monthly fee before any work starts, so you always know the cost. Most Abbotsford owners fall into one of three shapes, and the fee follows transaction volume, the number of bank and credit card accounts, and whether you run payroll.

• Sole proprietor or owner-operator, one account, quarterly GST — from $150/month
• Incorporated trades or retail with two to four accounts and monthly GST — $200 to $300/month
• Payroll, multiple entities, farm or trucking operations — $300 to $450/month, quoted after we see your file
• Catch-up on prior months or years — quoted separately so the backlog cost is visible

Built around how Abbotsford businesses actually work

Abbotsford is a trades, farm and freight town, and the books look like it. Berry and greenhouse operations need seasonal labour tracked properly and farm fuel and input costs coded so nothing is lost at year end. Trucking clients need per-unit fuel, repairs and log-linked costs kept apart from personal use. Contractors need holdbacks, progress billings and subcontractor payments sorted before GST is filed, not after.

We have done this work for enough Abbotsford operators to know which coding mistakes cost real money — and which CRA questions come up when a return looks unusual for the industry.

Deadlines we watch for you

Missing a filing date is the most expensive avoidable cost in a small business. Once you are with us, these sit on our calendar, not yours — and we chase you for paperwork well before the date, not the day after.

• GST/HST returns and instalments, monthly, quarterly or annual
• BC PST returns where you are registered
• Payroll source deductions by the 15th of the following month
• T4s and T4As by the end of February
• Corporate year-end package within weeks of your fiscal close
