Behind on your books? Behind is fixable.
Months or years, shoebox or spreadsheet — the way out is the same: rebuild from source documents, reconcile every account, file what was missed in order, and land on a monthly close so it never happens again.
What’s included
A catch-up here is a rebuild with an ending — not billable hours against a mess.
A damage assessment first
Before anything is rebuilt: what's missing, what's owed, which deadlines have passed and what the penalties look like — so the plan starts from facts, not dread.
Every month rebuilt from source
Bank and card statements imported, transactions categorized, receipts matched where they exist. The record is rebuilt from documents, not from memory.
Every account reconciled
Each rebuilt month agreed to its statements — because catch-up that isn't reconciled is just data entry with a deadline.
Missed returns filed, in order
GST/HST, payroll remittances, T2s, T1s — prepared from the rebuilt books and filed through the authorized channel, oldest first, so the penalty clocks stop.
The penalty position managed
Filing stops late-filing penalties from growing; where circumstances fit, taxpayer relief or the Voluntary Disclosures Program can reduce what's already accrued. We assess both before filing, not after.
A monthly close so it never rebuilds
Catch-up without a system afterward is a subscription to doing this again. The backlog ends on our platform with a monthly close — current stays current.
The arithmetic of waiting
Every month behind adds three costs: the late-filing penalty growing at 1% a month on anything owed, interest compounding daily on both, and the quiet one — decisions made all year on numbers nobody actually knows. All three stop the same way. The penalty math is laid out in what filing late actually costs; the two-minute books health check will tell you how far behind you actually are. Neither asks for your name to be useful.
How it starts
A 20-minute conversation
Free, and genuinely 20 minutes: your volume, your entities, the state of the books. If we are not the right fit, we say so and point you somewhere.
A fixed fee, in writing
One number for the year, agreed before any work starts. Software, setup and onboarding are part of it — there is no second bill from anyone else.
We take it from there
Our team builds your books on our platform, catches up whatever is behind, and runs the monthly close. You watch it happen in the same system we work in.
Asked from behind
How far behind can you handle?
Months, a year, several years — multi-year rebuilds are routine here, corporate and personal. The work scales with transaction volume more than with elapsed time, and the quote is fixed before we start either way.
I'm embarrassed to show anyone this mess.
You would be describing most of our favourite clients on the day they arrived. Falling behind has ordinary causes — growth, illness, a bookkeeper who left, a hard year. There is no judgement here; there is a process, and it works on shoeboxes.
Will catching up trigger the CRA?
Filing accurate returns puts you back in the ordinary stream — it is unfiled returns that escalate, through demands-to-file and arbitrary assessments where the CRA estimates your income for you. And where the Voluntary Disclosures Program applies, coming forward before the CRA asks is precisely what earns penalty relief.
How long does a catch-up take?
It depends on volume and how findable the records are — but it is measured in weeks, not months, because the rebuild runs on our platform's import-and-match machinery rather than manual keying. The 20-minute consult ends with a real timeline for your situation.
