A dedicated bookkeeper has to know which rate applies to which invoice line and support the input tax credits your organization claims back. Most Canadian small businesses run QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50 Canada or Wave, often alongside Wagepoint for payroll and Plooto for pre-authorized debits. Books are kept in Canadian dollars, with a separate US-dollar account common near the border. Our team works Eastern Time hours that overlap every Canadian time zone. ## CA rules that shape the work ### GST, HST, PST and QST by province Ontario charges 13% HST and the Atlantic provinces 15%, except Nova Scotia at 14% since 1 April 2025. BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba add PST to the 5% GST, Alberta and the territories charge GST only, and Quebec applies 9.975% QST through Revenu Québec. ### Input tax credits need documentation GST/HST paid on business purchases can be claimed back as an input tax credit, but only with a supplier invoice showing their GST/HST number. We flag purchases missing that detail before they reach your books. ### EFILE registration and your CPA Only a CRA-registered EFILE transmitter can submit a GST/HST or T2 return. We keep reconciliations and working papers current and hand them to your CPA or bookkeeper of record to file. ## What's included - Daily or weekly categorization of bank and card feed transactions - Receipt and bill matching through Dext, Hubdoc or your inbox - Customer invoice and vendor bill posting to the ledger - Monthly bank, credit-card and loan reconciliations - Payroll journal entries from Gusto, ADP or your payroll provider - Sales-tax, VAT or GST liability tracking by period - Fixed-asset additions and monthly depreciation entries - Prepaid and accrual entries so months compare cleanly - Class, location or tracking-category coding where you use it - Monthly P&L and balance sheet with plain-English notes - Year-end package handed to your CPA or accountant - Weekly status note listing open questions and missing documents ## Deliverables and KPIs | Deliverable | KPI we report | | --- | --- | | Books categorized and reconciled | Books current within 5 business days of month-end, tax-coded by province | | Input tax credit documentation | Every claimed input tax credit backed by a valid supplier invoice | | Multi-software ledger | QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50 or Wave kept current and tied to Wagepoint and Plooto | | Year-end handover | Trial balance and GST/HST working papers ready before your filing deadline | ## CA software we work in - [QuickBooks Online](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Xero](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/xero/) - [Sage 50](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/sage-50/) - [Wave](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/wave/) - [Dext](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/dext/) - [All 50 platforms](https://ledgerbpo.com/software/) ## Pricing in CAD Pricing depends on volume and scope.

Pricing depends on volume and scope, so we send a custom quote within 1 business day. As a market reference, Canadian outsourced bookkeeping runs C$300 to C$2,000 a month, with most small and medium businesses paying C$400 to C$800 (Outsource Bookkeeping CA, TheAccTaxCo, 2026). Transaction volume and the number of provinces you sell into move the quote. ### Do you file our GST/HST return or T2? No. We prepare the GST/HST working papers and input tax credit schedule your CPA needs for the return, but only a CRA-registered EFILE transmitter can file it. Your CPA or accountant reviews our numbers and submits the return, so nothing reaches the CRA without their sign-off. ### Do you cover Canadian hours? Yes. Our bookkeeping team is available 8am to 8pm ET, which covers the business day in every Canadian time zone from Newfoundland to British Columbia. You reach your named bookkeeper or their backup during your own working hours. ### Do you work across every province and territory? Yes. Whether your business charges GST only in Alberta, HST in Ontario or the Atlantic provinces, GST plus PST in BC, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, or GST plus QST in Quebec, your bookkeeper codes each transaction to the right rate. Businesses selling into several provinces still get one clean ledger. ### Can you work in Sage 50 Canada or Wave instead of QuickBooks? Yes. Our bookkeeping service works inside QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50 Canada or Wave, alongside Wagepoint for payroll and Plooto for pre-authorized debits. You keep the subscription and the data, and we do not ask you to switch platforms. Next step ## Books closed. Invoices paid. Every month. Tell us what is going on with your books or billing.
