TIPS ON HOW TO REDUCE YOUR BOOKKEEPING COSTS

In an effort to help our clients lower their costs for regular bookkeeping here are a few tips that will streamline the bookkeeping process in our office:

  • Where it is not obvious indicate on the actual invoice or receipt how and when it was paid ie cheque #, cash, personal credit/debit card
  • Fill cheque stubs out completely. Include the date, payee and amount.
  • Briefly go through the bank statement and ensure you have all receipts paid by debit card and for any transfers to other accounts or personal bills paid make a note of this on the bank statement by indicating “personal”. Attach the debit card receipts to the bank statement.
  • Ensure you have all credit card receipts to match the statements if you are using a company credit card and attach them to it. (The statement alone is not sufficient for CRA!)
  • If you do not have a deposit book with details of the deposit make a note on the bank statement if the deposits include anything other than sales, ie personal money put into the business account or a refund.

While these are only a few of the basic tips there are other ways to help reduce the time we have to spend on your file. For more information that could help your company specifically please call Kim to make an appointment.

TIPS ON WHAT TO TAKE TO YOUR BOOKKEEPER


KIM WIENS

In an effort to help business owners know what it is they need to provide for their bookkeeper I have provided a list of the basic requirements that a bookkeeper needs in order to effectively prepare your company’s financial statements and remittances:

  • cheque stubs – filled out with the date, payee and amount
  • deposit slips with payee’s name (if applicable) and amount deposited
  • ALL payable invoices with cheque number and date paid written on them
  • Sales invoices with date of payment deposited
  • ALL receipts whether paid by cash, debit card or credit card
  • Bank statements
  • Credit Card statements (for company use only)
  • All remittances and statements from Canada Revenue Agency
  
 

"To dream anything that you want to dream. That is the beauty of the human mind.  To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed."
