ABOUT THE OWNER
Carmelle has been Bookkeeping for 25 years. It all started very early in her career, where she was working in Accounting and enjoyed it, but because she had not experienced many other avenues yet, she was not ready to make it a career yet.
That is what compelled her to join temporary agencies so that she could explore and get a taste of other possible avenues of interest, as well as enjoy a variety of jobs.
After many years of exploring, she decided that accounting was where she wanted to grow after all, and that is what she did. She then studied in Accounting to help get her started and was working in it immediately, thanks to the agencies, since they knew she was a fast learner and good worker. She continued to study while working in it and realized after a couple of years that bookkeeping was the next step in utilizing all the accounting functions, which was what she wanted to do. She also had the desire to work independently.
That is when “Bookkeeping For Businesses” was born. It was 1999. Back then, there was not as many resources available as there are today and no internet yet, so she had to learn the hard way how to run a business. She also had to learn how to build a business without any prior experience or anyone to guide her, which is what caused her to become resourceful and determined to learn through doing. She learned through education, some trial and error as well as dedication and persistence, but also by working for so many different kinds of businesses.
She has serviced many kinds of businesses such as:
Retail Stores
Automotive Repairs
Non-Profit
Electrical, Flooring, Plumbing and Renovation Contractors
Dance Studio
Travel Adventures
Masonry & Construction
Restaurant/Cafeteria
Real Estate Investment & Property Management
Media Publishing
Bait & Tackle Shop
Mobile Mechanic & Towing Services
Small Engine Repairs
Seniors' Resource Centre
Cash Register Sales & Services
Personal Fitness Trainer
& More
Carmelle is very driven and passionate about her work and has persevered through many tough times and she enjoys learning new things which is why she continues learning about business through reading and research as well as through practice and implementation.

DO YOU NEED A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW
QUICKBOOKS DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW
The goal is to assess the health of your QuickBooks data, the completeness and accuracy of accounting transactions. It is a bookkeeping and accounting analysis designed to diagnose any problems, assess level of cleanup needed, and identify transactions that need to be brought up to date.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
A thorough, systematic review of all key areas of the financial records, such as the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Undeposited Funds, Accounts Receivables & Payables, Reconciliations, Inventory, Sales Taxes, Payroll, Loans, Lines of Credit, Fixed Assets & Equity Accounts.
WRITTEN REPORT OF FINDINGS
A summary report, which will include each problem found, the areas that need to be cleaned up, as well as a list of what needs to be done to bring the books back up to date. Some recommendations will also be made for going forward, if necessary.
DO YOU NEED A BOOKKEEPER
Whether you're a new or existing business, good reliable bookkeeping is critical in managing the financial aspects of your business.
With accurate bookkeeping, you will have a clear financial picture and be better prepared to make informed business decisions that will drive your business in the right direction. You are guaranteed accuracy for your peace of mind.
One common mistake some business owners make is that they don’t pay enough attention to keeping their books up to date until they become overwhelmed with the volume that has accumulated and that is how they run into problems.
Other benefits of this service include:
- Becoming more profitable
- Accurate GST/HST returns
- Providing your accountant with accurate information so that they can prepare accurate year end tax returns
- Ensure you are protected when dealing with CRA and audit situations
By outsourcing your bookkeeping needs, you can be set up on a financial program called QuickBooks Pro, that will keep track of all your day to day expenses, by managing all your accounts receivables & payables, which will help you manage your cash flow and allow you to focus on creating revenue for your business.
