We Help You Keep More of What You Make

Most bookkeeping just tracks your money after the fact. We help you set aside profit as money comes in, before it can get spent on anything else. Less sitting in the account means less gets spent, and what's set aside stays yours. We do the same for your taxes, so there’s no scramble when payments are due. As certified Profit First Professionals, we build this system right into your bookkeeping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Simple answers to your bookkeeping questions

How much does bookkeeping cost?
The right price depends on a few factors: the size of your business, how complex your finances are, whether you need payroll, and how many bank and credit card accounts need to be reconciled. A small business with simple finances and no payroll will usually pay less than a larger business with multiple accounts, employees, and more complex reporting needs. Be cautious of quotes that seem unusually low, as they may come with limited support, extra fees, or less thorough bookkeeping. At Plus Advisors, your fixed monthly price is based on what your business actually needs, so you know exactly what’s included and what you’ll pay before you get started.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping and accounting work together, but they serve different purposes. Bookkeeping keeps your day-to-day financial records accurate, organized, and up to date, while accounting focuses more on tax filings, financial statements, and year-end reporting. Plus Advisors handles your bookkeeping, prepares clean, ready-to-use records, and works alongside your accountant at year-end and tax time. We also go beyond traditional bookkeeping with advisory and financial coaching to help you understand your numbers, improve cash flow, and make better business decisions.
What's included in bookkeeping services?
A complete bookkeeping service should include bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable tracking, monthly financial statements, and GST/HST filing support, not just basic transaction entry. At Plus Advisors, every package includes unlimited support, so you can ask questions without worrying about extra charges. Higher-level packages also include business advisory and financial coaching to help you understand your numbers, improve profitability, strengthen cash flow, and make informed decisions about your business.  
When should a small business hire a bookkeeper?
If you're spending hours a month on your books instead of running your business, if you're unsure your numbers are accurate, or if you're behind by more than a month or two, it's time to hire a bookkeeper. Waiting until tax season, or until a CRA notice arrives, usually means more cleanup work and more stress than starting now. If any of that sounds familiar, we can help you get caught up and back on track.
Do I still need a bookkeeper if I use QuickBooks?
Yes. QuickBooks and similar software automate data entry, but they don't catch coding errors, ensure your HST is calculated correctly, or flag when something doesn't add up. A bookkeeper reviews, reconciles, and corrects what the software can't, which is exactly why we're QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certified rather than just software users.
What areas of Ottawa do you serve?
We provide virtual bookkeeping services to small businesses across Canada, with a strong local presence in Ottawa and the surrounding area, including Centretown, The Glebe, Westboro, Kanata, Barrhaven, Nepean, Orléans, Stittsville, Manotick, Riverside South, Rockland, and Carleton Place.
