The ideal accountant for your bookkeeping needs

Bookkeeping is the foundational work that keeps your business in order: recording every income and expense, filing supporting documents, performing bank reconciliations, and preparing tax filings. When done right, it gives you a clear picture of your financial situation at all times and saves you valuable time when it comes time to prepare financial statements and year-end tax returns.

With Bankeo, you can find the ideal accountant for this task, for free: the right match, reliable and thorough, who knows your industry and your software, not just a number. We’ll introduce you to as many as you need and support you every step of the way. You never pay Bankeo; the fees are the accountant’s, and you pay them directly.

Some key figures for 2026: In Quebec, the GST is 5% and the QST is 9.975%, for a combined rate of 14.975% on most taxable sales. As soon as your taxable sales exceed $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, you lose your status as a small supplier and must register for the GST and QST and file your returns. And your accounting records and supporting documents generally must be retained for six years: meticulous bookkeeping is not a luxury, it’s a requirement.

• Recording and categorizing each income and expense (sales, purchases, expenses)
• Bank and Credit Card Reconciliation, Month by Month
• Digital Filing of Supporting Documents (to be retained for six years for the CRA and Revenu Québec)
• Calculation and Preparation of GST (5%) and QST (9.975%) Returns
• Tracking accounts receivable and accounts payable, following up on unpaid invoices
• Work within your existing software (QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, Acomba) or migrate to a cloud-based solution
• Clear Monthly Reports: Revenue, Expenses, Cash Flow
• Accurate and up-to-date records, ready for financial statements and year-end tax returns

In Quebec, Revenu Québec administers the GST and QST: up-to-date books make your tax returns simple and accurate, and protect you in the event of an audit by Revenu Québec or the Canada Revenue Agency. Conversely, late tax payments or source deductions can result in a penalty from Revenu Québec ranging from 7% to 15% of the amounts owed, depending on the length of the delay, in addition to interest.

The key is to never lose track: knowing at all times how much money is coming in and going out, so you can make decisions with confidence. The accountant you find through Bankeo keeps your books in perfect order, month after month, claims tax credits on your purchases (ITC and ITR), and is always there to support you.

Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions; accounting analyzes them and produces financial statements. The two are complementary, and an accountant can handle both.

Yes. Most accountants use common tools such as QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, or Acomba. Let us know which tools you use, and we’ll find you an accountant who’s comfortable with them.

With Bankeo, we’ll introduce you to the ideal accountant, often within 48 hours. You can discuss, compare, and choose at your own pace, with no obligation. And if the match isn’t a good fit anymore, even months later, we’ll find you another one at no cost.

Mixing personal and business expenses, forgetting to claim the GST/QST paid on your purchases (ITC and ITR), letting bank reconciliations pile up, and misplacing supporting documents, which must be kept for six years. Regular monthly monitoring eliminates these pitfalls.
