Monthly Bookkeeping for Canadian Small Businesses, Done on a Fixed Cadence.

Behind on your books? Unclear what your business actually made last quarter? Most small business owners know what the problem is — they just don't have the time or the system to fix it. Count myAccount installs the system and runs it month after month.

Is Monthly Bookkeeping the Right Service for Your Business?

This service is for incorporated Canadian businesses that need their books kept current — every month, not once a year before the T2 deadline.

Incorporated · Under $1M

Incorporated business with revenue under $1M

You have real transactions coming in and going out. You need to know your numbers before CRA asks for them, not after. Bookkeeping packages are tiered by transaction volume, not by how complicated you think your business is.

Behind on the Books

Your books are months behind

The most common entry point. The previous bookkeeper fell off, QuickBooks was set up incorrectly, or the books were never started. Count myAccount handles historical clean-up as part of onboarding — then moves into the monthly cadence.

Financing · Loan

Applying for financing or a business loan

Lenders require clean financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, sometimes a cash flow statement. If your books aren't current, you can't produce them. Count myAccount gets the records ready for what the bank actually needs.

Year-End · T2

Preparing for year-end T2 filing

If your bookkeeping is current when your fiscal year-end arrives, T2 preparation is straightforward. If it isn't, your accountant rebuilds the year from raw records — which takes time and costs more. The monthly service eliminates that problem.

Newly Incorporated

Recently incorporated from sole prop or partnership

Incorporation changes your reporting obligations. Personal expenses no longer mix with business expenses, and shareholder loan tracking starts from day one. Getting the books structured correctly at incorporation saves significant clean-up later.

What Does Count myAccount's Monthly Bookkeeping Include?

Monthly bookkeeping is not data entry. It is a structured month-end process that produces reliable numbers you can use to run your business. Every package includes:

Transaction categorization — every revenue and expense coded to the correct account, so your profit figures and HST Input Tax Credits stay accurate.

Bank and credit card reconciliation — your QuickBooks records matched against actual statements every month, catching errors and duplicates before they compound.

Accounts receivable and payable tracking — running AR and AP schedules so you know your cash position, not just your bank balance.

Monthly financial statements — an income statement and balance sheet delivered at the end of every month.

QuickBooks setup and maintenance — chart of accounts configured for your industry and structure, bank feeds connected and maintained.

Year-end preparation — a year-end trial balance and clean records handed off to the T2 filing process.

CRA correspondence support — Count myAccount responds to bookkeeping-record queries and document requests.

Electronic document archiving — receipts, statements, and invoices filed in a structured, accessible system.

Software subscriptions included — QuickBooks Online is included in all packages, no separate licence fee passed through.

Software setup and workflow configuration — a correctly configured system from day one prevents the errors that surface at year-end.

QuickBooks Online is included in all bookkeeping packages — no separate subscription, no licence fee passed through. The package price is the price.

What If My Books Are Already Behind?

Most businesses starting with Count myAccount have a backlog — from two months to two years. It's not unusual, and it doesn't prevent onboarding. Count myAccount handles historical clean-up as part of the setup phase:

Assessment — Count myAccount reviews what exists (QuickBooks file, bank statements, prior-year T2, any partial records) and determines how far back the clean-up needs to go and what documentation is missing.

Reconstruction — missing months are rebuilt from bank and credit card statements, categorized, reconciled, and entered into QuickBooks; shareholder loan activity is traced and documented.

Reconciliation to prior filings — if T2 returns were filed for prior years, the cleaned-up books are reconciled to those returns and discrepancies resolved before the current year's books are started.

Transition to monthly cadence — once the backlog is cleared, the monthly close begins and statements arrive on schedule from the first clean month forward.

Clean-up is quoted separately from the ongoing monthly fee, based on the number of months and transaction volume. The monthly package price applies from the first clean month forward.

How Does Count myAccount Run Monthly Bookkeeping?

From intake to year-end handoff, the monthly close runs on a fixed schedule — so your numbers are always current and there's no year-end scramble.

01

Intake and setup

Count myAccount collects access to your QuickBooks file (or creates one), connects your bank feeds, reviews your chart of accounts, and assesses whether a historical clean-up is required. If you have a prior bookkeeper or accountant, Count myAccount handles the handoff.

02

First month-end close

The first close takes longer than the ones that follow. Count myAccount establishes opening balances, configures reconciliations, and sets the baseline for ongoing reporting. You review the first statements before the process moves forward.

03

Monthly cadence

Each month, transactions are categorized, accounts are reconciled, AR and AP are updated, and financial statements are produced — sent to you typically within 10 business days of month-end. You don't need to follow up.

04

Year-end handoff

At your fiscal year-end, Count myAccount prepares the year-end trial balance and supporting schedules. If your T2 is filed through Count myAccount's Business & Corporate Tax service, the handoff is internal; if you use a separate accountant, Count myAccount provides the files in the format they need.

What Do Monthly Bookkeeping Accounting Packages Cost?

Bookkeeping packages are structured by monthly transaction volume. A transaction is any financial event recorded in your books — a sale, a purchase, a bank transfer, a payroll entry.

From $177.99/month

Basic Package — under 100 monthly transactions. QuickBooks Online is included in all packages, no separate licence fee.

If your transaction volume exceeds your package tier during a month, Count myAccount advises before moving you to the next tier — not after. Historical clean-up is quoted separately, based on the number of months and transaction volume involved; most are completed before the monthly cadence begins.

Why Do Small Businesses Use Count myAccount for Monthly Bookkeeping?

Most bookkeeping services hand you data entry and go quiet until you chase them. Count myAccount runs a managed monthly process you can rely on — here's what that means in practice.

Why owners choose Count myAccount

The close happens every month, not when you remember to ask — a structured month-end process on a fixed schedule, so statements arrive on time without you chasing anyone.

Messy books are a starting point, not a disqualifier — Count myAccount handles the historical clean-up before setting up the monthly process.

QuickBooks is included and configured correctly for your structure, then maintained — most bookkeeping errors come from bad setup, not the software.

Your books connect to your other filings — add payroll or HST and the data is coordinated across all three, so your T2 is clean when it's due.

Count myAccount owns the outcome — if your statements are wrong, we fix them; if CRA asks about your records, we respond. Accountability is built in.

Most bookkeeping is a data-entry service. Count myAccount is managed bookkeeping with accountability built in.

Frequently Asked Questions — Monthly Bookkeeping

What counts as a transaction for the purposes of package pricing?
Any financial event recorded in QuickBooks: a customer invoice, a supplier bill, a bank deposit, a credit card charge, a payroll entry, a journal entry. Transfers between your own bank accounts typically count as two transactions (debit one account, credit another). Count myAccount will review your actual volume at intake and confirm which package applies.
Do I need to have QuickBooks already?
No. QuickBooks Online is included in the package. Count myAccount sets it up, configures the chart of accounts for your business type, and connects your bank feeds. If you already have a QuickBooks file, Count myAccount takes it over and cleans up the setup as needed.
What if I’ve been using a spreadsheet or another system?
Count myAccount migrates your records into QuickBooks as part of the onboarding process. The migration scope depends on how far back the records go and how consistently they were maintained. Count myAccount assesses this at intake and provides a clean-up quote before work begins.
How long does the historical clean-up take?
It depends on how many months need to be reconstructed and how complete the source records are. A six-month backlog with intact bank statements typically takes two to three weeks. A two-year backlog with partial records takes longer. Count myAccount provides a timeline after the initial assessment.
What happens at my fiscal year-end?
Count myAccount prepares the year-end trial balance and any supporting schedules required for T2 filing. If your corporate tax return is filed through Count myAccount’s Business & Corporate Tax service, the handoff is internal — no duplication of work. If you use a separate accountant, Count myAccount provides the files in the format they specify.
Can I add payroll or HST filing to the bookkeeping package?
Yes. Count myAccount offers combined packages that cover bookkeeping, payroll, and HST filing together. The services are designed to run off the same records, which eliminates reconciliation friction at year-end. Ask about combined pricing at intake.
What if my transaction volume changes significantly mid-year?
Count myAccount monitors volume as part of the monthly process. If you’re approaching your tier limit, you’ll be informed before the close — not invoiced for an overage after the fact. Tier changes take effect from the following month.
