A transaction is any single line on your bank or credit card statements. Examples include a deposit, a purchase or a payment. If your volume changes, we simply move you to the plan that fits.
No, catch-up work is quoted separately as a one-time fixed price. If your books are behind, we quote a one-time fixed price to bring them up to date. After that, your monthly plan keeps them current.
No, the monthly price covers bookkeeping, not tax returns. We are bookkeepers, so we prepare clean books and a year-end package for your accountant, who prepares and files your T2 corporate return or personal tax return.
