Does this sound familiar?

The job numbers keep moving. The books need to be kept up.

We work with private companies, with a particular focus on Calgary contractors.

“Job cost doesn’t match the books.”

The general ledger balances, but you can’t trust the margin on any one job.

“The bank needs a better picture.”

A work-in-progress (WIP) schedule or a reporting package for your lender or surety, and no easy way to produce it.

“Sage isn’t working the way it should.”

A rough implementation, a report that won’t reconcile, or a system your team inherited.

“Year-end takes three months.”

Your team needs experienced oversight, and your external accountant needs working papers they can use.

Accounting systems

The system is only part of the job.

We help you choose a Sage system, manage the implementation from the finance side, then run the books on it if you want us to. The reports, the month-end and the people doing the work are part of the same project.

Already on Sage? We help with reports, upgrades, migrations and the parts of the setup that never got finished.

Three steps

How we work

We can help you understand it — or do it for you. Alongside your team and your external accountant.

Understand what’s happening.

We start with your books, your system, your processes and the problems in front of you. Then we agree on what needs doing and who handles each part.

Put the right pieces in place.

That might be reconciling the numbers, rebuilding a report, tightening a month-end process, designing a software vendor selection process or managing a system implementation.

Keep working alongside you.

If you want us to stay, we take on the ongoing accounting and reporting, back up your team and prepare year-end for your external accountant.

What you can expect from our team

We want to see businesses, their owners and other stakeholders succeed.

Plain answers.

We tell you what the numbers say and what needs attention. The decisions stay yours.

Room for your team.

We can advise, take over one piece, or work alongside the people already doing your accounting, whatever your business and management set-up.

Your external accountant stays involved.

We prepare the working papers and schedules your external accountant needs at year-end for a review, an audit or tax, so their work doesn’t run into deadlines.

Reporting you can use.

Job margins, cash flow, budgets and bank reporting, built around the questions you have to answer.

We’re Team You.
