Local bookkeeping without the drive
Most of our Chilliwack clients never need to visit an office. You send receipts and statements the way that suits you — photo, email, or a shared folder — and we handle the rest. When a face-to-face makes more sense, we come to you.
Because we work across the Fraser Valley every day, we already know the seasonal cash-flow patterns local trades and agricultural businesses deal with, and we plan your GST instalments around them.
What Chilliwack businesses usually need first
Almost every new client starts in one of three places: catching up a backlog, cleaning up a QuickBooks file that has drifted, or getting GST filings back on schedule before penalties stack up.
- Catch-up bookkeeping for several months (or years) of unfiled records
- GST/PST registration, filing and instalment planning
- Payroll setup with source deductions, T4s and ROEs
- Year-end packages your accountant can work from without questions
What monthly bookkeeping costs in Chilliwack
Every Chilliwack quote is a flat monthly fee agreed in writing before we touch your books. What moves the number is transaction volume, how many bank and card accounts you run, whether you have payroll, and how often you file GST.
- From $150 a month — sole proprietors and quiet single-account businesses filing GST quarterly
- $200–$300 a month — an active trade, shop or café with two or three accounts and monthly GST
- $300–$450 a month — payroll for a crew, higher volume, or GST and PST together
- Catch-up work on a backlog is quoted separately so you can see exactly what the cleanup costs
Deadlines we watch for you
Most of what CRA charges Chilliwack businesses in penalties comes down to dates, not accounting. These are the ones we track so you never get the letter.
- GST/HST returns — one month after quarter end, or three months after a year-end filing period
- BC PST returns — the last day of the month following your reporting period
- Payroll source deductions — the 15th of the month after you pay your crew
- T4s and T4 summaries — the last day of February
- Corporate returns and balances — six months and three months after your fiscal year-end

Chilliwack bookkeeping questions, answered
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Chilliwack?
Most Chilliwack small businesses sit between $150 and $350 a month with us, quoted as a flat fee before any work starts. Price follows transaction volume, how many bank and card accounts you run, whether you have payroll, and your GST filing frequency. Under 75 transactions a month and filing GST quarterly? We build a simpler custom rate instead of pushing you into a package.
Do you work with Chilliwack trades and construction contractors?
Yes — trades are our largest group in Chilliwack. We handle progress invoicing, subcontractor payments and T5018 slips where they apply, holdbacks, fuel and equipment costs, and the GST that comes with materials. We also plan instalments around the slow winter months instead of assuming even cash flow all year.
Can you handle seasonal farm and greenhouse bookkeeping?
We do. Agricultural operations around Yarrow, Rosedale and Greendale spend heavily in spring and collect in late summer, so we track input costs by season, keep payroll for seasonal crews compliant, and time GST instalments so a filing never lands in your leanest month.
Do I have to drive to your office?
No. Most Chilliwack clients send receipts and statements by photo, email or a shared folder and never visit an office. When a face-to-face makes more sense — a catch-up project or a year-end review — we come to you. We are Fraser Valley based, not a call centre.
My GST returns are behind. Can you still help?
Yes, and sooner is cheaper. We rebuild the missing periods from your bank statements, reconcile every account, file the outstanding returns, and then keep you on schedule. CRA penalties and interest keep accruing on unfiled returns, so the backlog only gets more expensive.
Which Chilliwack areas do you serve?
All of Chilliwack — Sardis, Vedder Crossing, Yarrow, Rosedale, Greendale and the downtown core — plus Agassiz, Hope, Abbotsford and Mission across the eastern Fraser Valley.
Can you take over from my current Chilliwack bookkeeper part way through the year?
Yes, and we do it often. We review the existing file, reconcile every account back to the last verified balance, correct miscoded entries and any unfiled GST, then carry on monthly from there. You do not need to wait for year-end to switch.
I just started a business in Chilliwack. When should I bring in a bookkeeper?
Before the first GST period closes. Setting up a separate business account, a sensible chart of accounts and the right GST registration at the start costs a fraction of untangling a mixed personal account a year later.
Do you file PST as well as GST for Chilliwack businesses?
Yes. If you sell goods or taxable services in BC we register you where required and file both GST and PST on your reporting cycle, with the collected tax set aside before it is due.
What happens if CRA sends me a letter?
Send it to us. We read it, tell you plainly what it is asking for, pull the records that answer it, and — with your authorization on file — deal with CRA directly on bookkeeping and GST matters instead of leaving you on hold.
