Bookkeeping · Lethbridge & southern Alberta

Know exactly where your business stands — every month.

DSW Bookkeeping keeps the books for small businesses, trades and sole proprietors. Your accounts get reconciled every month, so you are not guessing at your numbers and not handing your accountant a shoebox in April.

The monthly close

What actually gets done

Bookkeeping is unglamorous and it is supposed to be. Here is the work that happens on your file, and how often.

Bank and credit card accounts reconciled to the statementMonthly

Income and expenses categorised to your chart of accountsMonthly

Receipts matched to transactions and filed digitallyMonthly

Profit & loss and balance sheet sent to youMonthly

Accounts receivable and payable kept currentMonthly

GST/HST return prepared and filedPer your period

Payroll runs, remittances, T4sIf you have staff

Year-end package handed to your accountantAnnually

Scope is set in writing before the first month — you always know which of these rows are on your file.

Fees

No hidden fees, and no meter running

The complaint we hear most about bookkeepers is the invoice nobody saw coming. So here is how billing works, in plain terms.

A flat monthly rate

Quoted up front once we have seen the volume of your accounts, and it does not change unless your scope changes — in which case we requote first.

Questions are not billable

Calling to ask what something means does not turn into a line item. If you are afraid to ask your bookkeeper a question, you have the wrong bookkeeper.

Behind? Priced separately

Catch-up work on prior months is quoted on its own, so it never gets buried inside your ongoing monthly rate.

Leave whenever

No lock-in. If you go elsewhere, your files and records are exported and handed over — they are yours.

Fit

Who this is for

Trades & contractorsJob costs, subcontractor payments and GST, sorted while you are on site.

Sole proprietorsBusiness and personal untangled, so your return is not a guess.

Small incorporated businessesClean monthly statements and a year-end package your accountant can work from.

Anyone behind on their booksMonths or years of catch-up, quoted separately and done in order.

Getting started

Three steps to hand it over

STEP 01

A conversation

You tell us what you run, roughly how many transactions a month, and how far behind you are — honestly. Nothing here is a surprise to a bookkeeper.

STEP 02

A written quote

A flat monthly rate and a written list of exactly which work is included. Catch-up work, if you need it, is quoted as its own line.

STEP 03

We take it from there

You get read-only access set up, hand over statements and receipts, and from then on your statements arrive every month.

Stop guessing at your numbers.

Tell us what shape your books are in. No judgement — behind is the normal starting point.
