Banks… accounting firms… schools… restaurants… construction…manufacturing… and the arts… From big to small and from fledgling to fearsomely large, Tracy Khamis has so much experience that soon, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without her.
Each industry has different rules that apply, along with different government requirements. This experience has provided Tracy with extensive growth and understanding of bookkeeping, multiple software platforms, and in-depth financial report preparation.
Below are some of the major components of full cycle bookkeeping for most businesses that we can take care of:
Accounts Receivable – The money coming in for the goods or services already provided. Careful management ensures that there is operating money for all facets of the business.
Accounts Payable – The money to be paid by the business for goods or services purchased in order to make the business function and operate. Timely payment equates to happy and loyal suppliers.
Invoicing – The necessary process of billing customers for goods or services delivered. This creates the paper trail to track and pursue payments by customers in a timely fashion.
Banking – A necessary function for all businesses, the banking needs to be executed and tracked accurately to ensure that all money is accounted for and to flag potential issues related to the money or lack thereof.
Government Remittances – Taxes come in many forms and need to be remitted or paid to various levels and departments of government in an accurate and timely fashion. Penalties and interest can result from late payment or non-compliance.
Payroll – The processing of money owing to staff. This can be processed and paid electronically and includes the management and remittance of Source Deductions (or withholding taxes), records of employment, WSIB, EHT, T4s, T5s, T5018s, T4 Summaries, and T4As.
