Built for sole proprietors
If you're a one-person business, you don't need a complicated system — you need clean numbers, GST filed on time, and a clear picture of what you can pay yourself. That's what we set up.
We separate business from personal, categorize consistently so your expense claims hold up, and track the GST you've collected so it never turns into a surprise bill.
Common Mission bookkeeping fixes
The two problems we see most often in Mission are mixed personal and business spending, and GST that was collected but never set aside. Both are fixable, and both are much cheaper to fix early.
- Untangling personal and business transactions
- Rebuilding records from bank statements when receipts are missing
- Getting behind GST returns filed and penalties minimized
- Simple monthly reporting so you know your real profit
What monthly bookkeeping costs in Mission
You get a flat monthly fee in writing before we start. The number follows your transaction volume, how many accounts you run, whether you have payroll, and your GST filing frequency — not an hourly clock.
- From $150 a month — sole proprietors and home-based businesses filing GST quarterly
- $200–$300 a month — an active contractor or small shop with monthly GST and a couple of accounts
- $300–$450 a month — payroll for staff, higher volume, or GST and PST together
- Catch-up work on past years is quoted separately so the cleanup cost is never a surprise
Deadlines we watch for you
Penalties in Mission almost always come from a missed date rather than a bookkeeping mistake. These are the dates we track on your behalf.
- GST/HST returns — one month after quarter end for quarterly filers
- BC PST returns — the last day of the month following your reporting period
- Payroll source deductions — the 15th of the month after payday
- T4s and T4 summaries — the last day of February
- Personal returns with business income — June 15, with any balance owing due April 30

Mission bookkeeping questions, answered
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Mission, BC?
Sole proprietors and small companies in Mission usually land between $150 and $350 a month, quoted flat before we start. If you run fewer than 75 transactions a month and file GST quarterly, we build a simpler custom rate rather than selling you a package you do not need.
I am a sole proprietor — do I really need a bookkeeper?
You need clean, consistent records more than you need software. We separate business from personal, categorize expenses so your claims hold up if CRA asks, track the GST you have collected so it never becomes a surprise bill, and show you what you can safely pay yourself each month.
I mixed personal and business spending in one account. Can that be fixed?
Yes — it is the single most common issue we see in Mission. We work through the account line by line, split personal from business, document the business portion of shared costs like vehicle and home office, and then help you set up a separate business account so it does not repeat.
I have lost some receipts. Can you still do my books?
In most cases yes. We rebuild records from bank and credit card statements, identify the vendor and purpose for each transaction, and flag the few items that genuinely need documentation. Keeping a photo of receipts going forward is enough — we do not need paper.
Do you handle payroll for a small Mission crew?
Yes. We set up payroll, calculate and remit CRA source deductions on schedule, issue T4s at year-end and ROEs when someone leaves. Payroll runs from the same records as your bookkeeping, so remittances always match your books.
Which areas near Mission do you serve?
All of Mission including Hatzic, Silverdale, Cedar Valley and Deroche, plus Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and the wider Fraser Valley.
I am behind on GST in Mission. How bad is it?
Fixable, and cheaper the sooner you start. We rebuild the missing periods from bank statements, reconcile every account, file the outstanding returns and then keep you on schedule. Penalties and interest keep accruing while returns sit unfiled, so waiting is the expensive option.
Do you set up QuickBooks Online or Xero for Mission businesses?
Yes. We set up whichever suits your business, connect the bank feeds, build a chart of accounts that matches how you actually work, and clean up an existing file if it has drifted into duplicated accounts and broken feeds.
Do we need to meet in person?
Only if you would like to. Most Mission clients send receipts and statements by photo, email or a shared folder and never come in. We are Fraser Valley based, so a face-to-face is easy to arrange when it helps.
