Who We Help

Bookkeeping Built Around Different Business Needs

The right bookkeeping process depends on how your business earns revenue, pays suppliers, manages payroll, collects GST/HST, and uses financial reports. Phoenix Knight adapts the workflow to the way your business operates.

Incorporated Small Businesses

We keep corporate books current so shareholder loans, payroll, GST, year-end filings, and financial statements do not fall behind.

  • Professional service firms
  • Healthcare clinics
  • Retail and hospitality businesses
  • Growing local companies

Project and Property-Based Businesses

We support businesses that need records by project, property, location, job, department, or revenue stream.

  • Construction companies
  • Real estate investors
  • Property managers
  • Multi-location operators

Clean books are the base of tax planning and better decisions.

When records are current, your accountant can plan earlier, your GST returns are stronger, and your owner reports become easier to trust.

Small Business Records

Small Business Bookkeeping for Incorporated Companies and Contractors

Small business bookkeeping often goes beyond transaction coding. Incorporated companies and contractor-based businesses also need clear records for shareholder activity, owner compensation, contractor payments, GST/HST, payroll, and the corporate year-end handoff.

Owner Salary and Dividend Records

Organize owner compensation records so salary entries, payroll summaries, dividend support notes, and year-end information are available for tax review.

  • Salary and payroll entries
  • Dividend support records
  • Owner compensation summaries
  • Year-end coordination

Contractor Payment and T4A Records

Maintain contractor payment summaries and supporting vendor details throughout the year instead of rebuilding the information at filing time.

  • Contractor payment summaries
  • T4A slip support records
  • Vendor details and business numbers
  • GST number review

Corporate year-end files should be organized before tax preparation begins.

A clean handoff can include a reconciled trial balance, shareholder balances, payroll summaries, GST reconciliation, asset and CCA support, and contractor reporting records. This helps reduce missing-information requests during corporate tax preparation.

Managed Bookkeeping Support

Managed Outsourced Bookkeeping for Growing Businesses

Businesses that need dependable ongoing bookkeeping without hiring and supervising an in-house bookkeeper can use a structured remote workflow with assigned responsibilities, backup coverage, regular review, and a clear monthly reporting schedule.

Assigned Workflow and Oversight

Records move through an assigned bookkeeping workflow with confidential handling, monthly review, and senior advisor oversight.

  • Assigned bookkeeping process
  • Controlled document workflow
  • Monthly review process
  • Senior advisor oversight

Reporting and Communication Rhythm

Financial highlights and review items are shared before the full monthly reporting package, with questions handled by phone or email and an optional review call when needed.

  • Financial highlights by the 10th
  • Monthly package by the 15th
  • Email and phone support
  • Optional monthly review call

A structured onboarding process makes the transition easier.

Many businesses can begin onboarding within one week, while transitions from an existing file may take two to three weeks depending on the condition of the records, software access, cleanup needs, and communication setup.

Filing Preparation

  • Monthly or quarterly GST reports
  • GST return preparation support
  • Annual GST-to-income review
  • Supporting document checks

Catch-Up Support

Catch-Up and Cleanup Bookkeeping Without Judgment

Falling behind happens. A busy season, staff change, old software file, missed GST filing, or sudden CRA letter can leave months of bookkeeping unfinished. We rebuild the file in a clear order.

Common Reasons Owners Call

  • Bookkeeper left suddenly
  • Business grew faster than records
  • Loan application needs reports
  • CRA review is underway
  • Tax filing is overdue

How Pricing Works

We review the file first and quote the cleanup before starting, so the scope is clear and billing is not open-ended.

  • File review
  • Fixed-scope quote
  • Cleanup timeline
  • Clean handoff report

Cleanup work can lead into monthly bookkeeping.

Bookkeeping FAQ

Bookkeeping Services Questions

Get clear answers about monthly bookkeeping, GST/HST records, cleanup work, cloud accounting tools, payroll integration, year-end packages, and ongoing support.

What do bookkeeping services include?

Bookkeeping services can include transaction coding, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts receivable, accounts payable, GST/HST tracking, payroll entries, monthly financial reports, and year-end support. Phoenix Knight organizes these records so business owners can review current balances, outstanding payments, tax information, and the financial details needed for day-to-day decisions.

How often should bookkeeping be completed?

Most active small businesses benefit from monthly bookkeeping because it keeps account balances, GST/HST records, payroll entries, receivables, payables, and financial reports current. A monthly schedule also helps identify missing transactions, unusual balances, overdue invoices, or cash flow pressure before those issues become larger year-end cleanup problems.

Can Phoenix Knight catch up overdue bookkeeping?

Yes. Phoenix Knight can review older bank and credit card activity, code transactions, reconcile accounts, organize missing records, correct unclear entries, prepare GST/HST information, and produce cleaner financial reports. The scope is reviewed before work begins so the business owner understands the records involved, the cleanup steps, and the expected handoff.

Do bookkeeping services include GST/HST support?

Yes. Bookkeeping can include tracking GST/HST collected on sales, input tax credits on eligible expenses, tax codes, filing periods, payment timing, and account reconciliations. Accurate books provide the supporting information needed for GST/HST reports and filing support, reducing the need to estimate tax amounts from incomplete records.

Can payroll be included with bookkeeping?

Yes. Payroll-related bookkeeping can include wage entries, deductions, employer costs, remittance records, payroll liabilities, vacation amounts, and year-end summaries. Connecting payroll with monthly bookkeeping helps ensure wage expenses, cash payments, source deductions, and employer records remain consistent with the financial statements and other accounting records.

Which bookkeeping software does Phoenix Knight support?

Phoenix Knight supports QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage 50, Dext receipt capture, bank feeds, cloud accounting workflows, and secure document sharing. The software and workflow can be organized around the business’s transaction volume, reporting needs, GST/HST requirements, payroll process, user permissions, and preferred method for submitting receipts and supporting documents.
