Bookkeeping That Keeps You CRA-Ready All Year
Clean, reconciled books delivered on a schedule you choose — with a CPA reviewing the numbers, not just a data-entry clerk.
Bookkeeping built for tax, not just for tidiness
Good bookkeeping is the foundation of every tax return, HST filing, loan application and business decision. When the books are late or wrong, the T2 is late, ITCs go unclaimed, the bank asks for statements you cannot produce and a CRA review becomes a crisis.
Trim Tax's bookkeeping team records and reconciles every transaction, tracks GST/HST and input tax credits correctly, and hands clean books to our tax CPAs — so your year-end is faster, your filings are accurate and you always know where you stand.
We work in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage, Wave and Excel-based ledgers, and we specialise in rebuilding books from bank and credit-card statements when records have fallen behind. Whether you need monthly management reports or a once-a-year clean-up before the T2, we price by transaction volume, not by the hour.
Financial statements your bank and the CRA will accept
Most private companies need compilation engagement financial statements — the CSRS 4200 package that replaced the Notice to Reader — for the CRA, lenders and shareholders. Some lenders and investors require a review engagement (CSRE 2400) for a higher level of assurance.
Trim Tax prepares both under Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE), with ASNPO statements for non-profits and IFRS where required, and we explain to your lender exactly what level of assurance each carries.
