You are not alone in this
You're probably not as stuck as it feels.
Most business owners don't fall behind because they're careless. They fall behind because sales, staffing, cash flow, life, and operations take priority until the books become too stressful to open. Our job is to work through it all calmly, find the next right step, and get you current.
What we clean up
Bring us what you have. We'll take it from there.
Bookkeeping cleanup
Bank and credit card reconciliations, transaction categorization, duplicate entries, uncategorized expenses, old balances, and QuickBooks files that need attention.
GST catch-up
Past-due GST filings, a review of GST collected and paid, input tax credit support, and records organized for future filings.
Corporate tax catch-up
Year-end records, financial statements, corporate tax filing support, shareholder accounts, and prior-year cleanup.
CRA notice support
We help you understand CRA letters, gather what is being requested, and respond with organized information.
Missing records organization
Bank statements, receipts, invoices, payroll records, CRA account details, spreadsheets, and loose records sorted into something usable.
Stay-current system
Once the cleanup is done, we set up a monthly process so the same problem does not come back.
The process
How we get you current
A calm, four-step path from wherever you are now back to clean, up-to-date books.
1
Triage the situation
We review how far behind you are, which filings are overdue, whether the CRA has contacted you, and what records you already have.
2
Build the cleanup plan
You get a clear list of what we need, what we'll do first, what can wait, and what the work is expected to cost.
3
Clean up, reconcile, and file
We organize records, reconcile accounts, prepare overdue filings, and help respond to CRA questions where needed.
4
Keep you current
We set up a simple ongoing bookkeeping, GST, payroll, and tax routine so you're not back here next year.
No judgment. No panic. Just a clear path back to current.
Tell us roughly how far behind you are, and we'll take it from there.
Getting started is easier than you think
Don't wait until everything is perfectly organized.
You don't need a tidy folder to begin. Bring whatever you have, even if it's incomplete, and we'll take it from there.
CRA letters or emails
Business bank and credit card statements
QuickBooks or Xero access, if you use accounting software
Sales records, invoices, or deposit summaries
Receipts, bills, and supplier statements
Payroll records, if applicable
Prior-year tax returns or notices of assessment
GST account details
Anything you already have, even if it's incomplete
Not sure what you have?
Book the call anyway
No pressure, just the facts
The sooner you start, the more options you usually have.
Late filing adds up
When taxes are owed, late filing and unpaid balances can lead to penalties and daily compound interest.
GST/HST has deadlines too
Late GST/HST returns with a balance owing can also lead to penalties.
Options may be available
In some cases, programs like the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program or taxpayer relief may be worth discussing, depending on your situation.
Our promise: we help you understand what's overdue, what needs filing, and what options may be available, then we help you act on it. We don't promise to make penalties disappear; we help you get current the right way.
Worried about interest and penalties?

FAQ
Cleanup questions, answered
Can you help if I'm years behind?
Yes. We regularly help business owners catch up when bookkeeping, GST, corporate tax, or CRA paperwork has fallen behind.
What if I'm missing receipts or records?
That's common. We start with what you have, identify what's missing, and help rebuild the records as much as possible using bank statements, invoices, CRA information, and available documents.
Can you help with overdue GST filings?
Yes. We can organize the records, reconcile GST collected and paid, prepare past-due filings, and help set up a process for future GST deadlines.
Can you help with overdue corporate tax?
Yes. We can clean up the bookkeeping, prepare year-end information, and support the corporate filing process.
Can you deal with CRA notices?
Yes. We help you understand what the CRA is asking for, organize the supporting documents, and respond appropriately.
Do I need to come into the office?
No. Most cleanup work can be started remotely, though local clients can also work with us from St. Albert and the Edmonton area.
How much does cleanup cost?
It depends on how far behind the books are, how many accounts are involved, whether GST, payroll, or corporate tax filings are overdue, and how complete the records are. We provide a clear quote before starting.
Should I hire an accountant or a tax lawyer?
For bookkeeping cleanup, overdue filings, GST catch-up, and basic CRA notice support, an accountant is often the right first step. If you're dealing with a legal dispute, tax court matter, formal objection, or complex enforcement issue, a tax lawyer may also be appropriate.
