Surrey, British Columbia
Bookkeeper in Surrey, BC
Surrey is where our subcontractor-heavy files live: framing and mechanical crews out of Cloverdale, courier and transport companies running out of Newton, restaurants and grocers in Guildford and Fleetwood. When you pay a dozen subs and run several vehicles, clean input tax credits and tidy subcontractor records are worth real money — and they are the first thing the CRA asks about.

Subcontractors and vehicles, handled properly
We track every subcontractor payment separately from payroll, and flag arrangements that look more like employment so you can fix them before CRA does. Fuel, insurance and repair costs get coded by vehicle rather than dumped in one expense line.
That detail is what turns a GST return from a guess into a claim you can defend — and most new Surrey clients recover credits they had been missing.
What Surrey businesses ask us for most
Volume is the issue here more than complexity. A busy Surrey trade or courier company can push several hundred transactions a month, and a spreadsheet stops coping long before the owner notices.
- Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations at real transaction volume
- GST and PST registration, filing and instalments
- Payroll for crews plus subcontractor payment tracking
- QuickBooks Online and Xero setup, cleanup and bank feeds
- Catch-up work on months or years of backlog
- Year-end packages priced and delivered before your accountant asks
Flat monthly pricing, no surprises
We quote a flat monthly fee up front based on your actual transaction count, accounts and payroll. Higher-volume Surrey files sit above our starting rate, and we tell you that before you commit — never on the first invoice.
Deadlines we watch for you
High-volume Surrey files leave no room to catch up in the last week before a filing. We work to these dates every month so nothing lands late.
- GST/HST returns — monthly filers one month after period end, quarterly filers one month after quarter end
- BC PST returns — the last day of the month following your reporting period
- Payroll source deductions — the 15th of the month after payday, or more often for larger remitters
- T4s and T4 summaries — the last day of February; subcontractor slips on the same annual cycle
- Corporate balance three months after year-end, T2 return six months after

Surrey bookkeeping questions, answered
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Surrey?
Flat monthly fees start at $150 and most Surrey small businesses land between $150 and $350. Higher-volume construction and transport files are quoted above that, based on transaction count, number of accounts and whether you run payroll. You get the price in writing before any work starts.
Do you handle subcontractor payments and slips?
Yes. We track subcontractor payments through the year, keep them separate from payroll, prepare the year-end slip information, and flag any arrangement that looks more like employment than contracting so you can correct it early.
Do you file PST as well as GST?
Yes. If you sell goods or taxable services in BC we register you where needed and file both GST and PST on schedule, with the collected tax set aside beforehand.
Are you local to Surrey?
We are based in Abbotsford and work with Surrey businesses remotely as standard — receipts by photo, email or shared folder. You still get one dedicated bookkeeper who answers the phone, not a call centre.
We push several hundred transactions a month. Can you handle that volume?
Yes — higher-volume construction, courier and food retail files are normal for us. Bank feeds and receipt capture do the heavy lifting, we reconcile every account monthly, and the fee is quoted against your actual transaction count so it does not creep.
Can you clean up a QuickBooks file that has drifted?
That is often the first job. We fix duplicated accounts and vendors, repair broken bank feeds, rebuild an unusable chart of accounts and reconcile back to verified balances, so the monthly numbers can actually be trusted.
Which parts of Surrey do you serve?
All of Surrey — Cloverdale, Newton, Fleetwood, Guildford, Whalley and South Surrey — plus Delta, Langley and the wider Fraser Valley.
