Online Accounting Services

Accounting can get complicated–onboarding doesn’t have to be. Look forward to a hassle-free onboarding process that covers all your bases, including setting up essential software, including Xero, QuickBooks Online, Dext, and Plooto.

Our professionals will also complete any catch-up accounting needs and ensure that your harmonized sales tax (HST) filing period aligns with your fiscal year, simplifying compliance from day one.

Accounting is the foundation upon which our team builds everything else. When your data is not only accurate but timely, it helps ensure the financial aspects of your business run smoothly, including tax filings, payroll, and compliance.

That’s why we’ve built a process that ensures accuracy and reliability. Each and every month, a Zenbooks director or manager meticulously reviews the work of our accountants, supported by robust redundancies and process documentation. With Zenbooks, you’re not just paying for data entry or bookkeeping—you’re investing in accurate, actionable reports that lead to more informed decisions.

While we leverage advanced software to help drive efficiency, the real difference lies in our human touch. Our team turns raw numbers into meaningful insights, ensuring your financials are correct and useful. Partner with Zenbooks for a rock-solid accounting foundation you can build upon.

As your business grows and your accounting needs change, Zenbooks scales and evolves right alongside you. Take a look at the four general stages of business progression and how we support you.

Starting Up

You’re finding your footing and likely need straightforward online bookkeeping. As compliance is especially important, we’ll ensure you’re meeting all Canada Revenue Agency requirements. We’ll also provide profit and loss statements so you can gain a clearer understanding of your financials.

Stabilizing

You’ve built a solid foundation and have systems in place that can help you scale with ease. You may even employ a few staff members. While we can still handle your compliance and update your financials more frequently, we can also start strategic planning exercises.

Expanding

With managed organization and local success, it’s time for regular strategy planning. Zenbooks will help establish key performance indicators (KPIs) that we’ll regularly track. We’ll also establish cash reserve guidelines, analyze your profitability by jobs and departments, and take a deep dive into your realization and utilization ratios, all to help your business thrive.

Maturing

You may be surprised to hear this, but as a mature company or corporate enterprise, Zenbooks is no longer the best fit for your needs. We’re deeply committed to our clients and value transparency. At this stage, we think you’ll benefit from a full-time CFO who can offer daily strategic advice across a range of aspects, including union negotiations and cross-border planning. While it’s bittersweet to part ways, we hope every client gets to this stage, as that means we were able to play a part in your growth journey.
