Built around the operation
Start with how money moves through the business.
Retail deposits can combine taxes, shipping, discounts, refunds, gift cards, fees and payout timing. The bookkeeping workflow needs source reports from every channel, not only the bank feed.
The scope is shaped around the systems, accounts, deadlines and reporting decisions already in the business.
What the service can include
Records and reporting that fit the industry.
Store and ecommerce sales
Reconcile channel reports to gross sales and deposits.
Marketplaces
Separate sales, commissions, advertising, refunds and payouts.
Processor clearing
Match grouped deposits, fees and timing differences.
Inventory purchases
Organize supplier, freight and landed-cost records.
Returns and gift cards
Keep credits, refunds and outstanding obligations visible.
Cross-province tax detail
Preserve customer and delivery information for review.
Local details belong in the workflow.
Ottawa retailers may serve local customers while shipping across Canada. Customer and delivery details can affect sales-tax review, while local credit-union, bank and processor records each need their own reconciliation path.
Bookkeeping organizes the evidence. Legal, tax and regulatory decisions remain with the appropriately qualified adviser.
What you receive
