Clean, Reconciled Books Every Month.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Clean, reconciled books every month — not a scramble every April. Solstice Partners handles your day-to-day bookkeeping on a fixed monthly fee, so you always know where your cash is, what you owe the CRA, and whether you’re actually making money.

Ontario Personal Tax

Overview

Solstice Partners provides monthly bookkeeping for small and mid-sized businesses in Toronto and across the GTA. Every month we categorize transactions, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, track GST/HST, and deliver a profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet by a fixed date. Fees are fixed monthly and based on transaction volume, with packages starting from $295/month (plus HST).

Most owners don’t fall behind on bookkeeping because they don’t care. They fall behind because the business is busy, receipts pile up, and the bank feed keeps growing. Our monthly service fixes that with a simple routine: your bank and card feeds connect to cloud accounting software, our team codes and reconciles every transaction, and a professional accountant reviews the file before your month-end reports go out.

Because the same team handles your HST returns, payroll and corporate tax return, your books are built with year-end in mind from day one. That means fewer adjusting entries, a faster T2, and no “please send us everything from last year” emails in spring.

What We Offer

Transaction Categorization

Every bank, credit card and payment-processor transaction coded to the right account, with recurring vendors set up as rules so your books stay consistent.

Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations

All accounts reconciled to statement balances each month, including Stripe, Square, Shopify and PayPal payout accounts.

GST/HST Tracking

Input tax credits and HST collected tracked as you go, ready for filing on your monthly, quarterly or annual schedule.

Accounts Receivable & Payable

Unpaid invoices and bills kept current, with an aged receivables report so you can follow up before balances go stale.

Monthly Financial Reports

A profit-and-loss statement, balance sheet and short commentary delivered by a fixed date. Larger packages add cash-flow and budget-versus-actual reporting.

Year-End Ready Books

Clean, reconciled records handed straight to our tax team for your T2 or T1 business income return, with no separate clean-up fee at year-end.

How Monthly Bookkeeping Works

  1. Free consultation (30 minutes). We learn how your business runs: sales channels, bank accounts, payroll and HST registration.
  2. Onboarding and setup. We connect your bank and card feeds, review or rebuild your chart of accounts, and set up secure document sharing. If your books are behind, we start with catch-up bookkeeping.
  3. Monthly close. We code and reconcile transactions, post adjustments and run a review before reports are released.
  4. Reports and check-in. You receive your month-end package with a short note on anything unusual and a list of open questions.
  5. Year-end handoff. Your books go directly to tax preparation. No repackaging required.

Who Our Bookkeeping Service Is For

  • Incorporated small businesses that want reliable monthly numbers and a smooth T2 at year-end
  • Self-employed professionals and consultants who have outgrown a spreadsheet
  • Healthcare practices, law firms and other professional practices with multiple revenue streams and strict record-keeping needs
  • Restaurants, retailers and e-commerce sellers with high transaction volume and multiple payment processors
  • Startups preparing for investors, lenders or grant applications that require up-to-date financial statements

What Does Bookkeeping Cost in Toronto?

Bookkeeping fees depend mainly on how many transactions you have each month, how many bank and payment accounts we reconcile, and whether you need payroll or more detailed reporting. Our packages start from $295/month (plus HST) for smaller businesses, and every package includes reconciliations, GST/HST tracking and monthly reports.

Why Choose Solstice Partners

We built our bookkeeping service around what business owners tell us actually goes wrong: missed deadlines, unexplained adjustments, and accountants who only appear once a year.

Fixed Monthly Fees

You know what you'll pay before work starts. Your fee doesn't change unless your business does, and if it does, we'll talk first.

Accountant-Reviewed Every Month

Each monthly close is reviewed by a professional accountant before reports are released, so errors are caught in the month they happen.

One Team for Books and Tax

Your bookkeeper, HST filer and tax preparer work from the same file, so year-end is faster, cheaper and far less stressful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in your monthly bookkeeping service?

Every package includes transaction categorization, reconciliation of all bank and credit card accounts, GST/HST tracking, and a monthly profit-and-loss statement and balance sheet. Higher tiers add accounts receivable and payable management, payroll, cash-flow reporting and quarterly advisory calls.

Which accounting software do you work with?

We work primarily in QuickBooks Online and Xero, and we can connect common tools such as Dext, Hubdoc, Shopify, Stripe, Square and PayPal. If you're on desktop software or spreadsheets, we can migrate you to the cloud as part of onboarding. Learn more about our cloud accounting service.

How long do I need to keep my business records in Canada?

The CRA generally requires businesses to keep books, records and supporting documents for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. Records can be kept electronically. With our cloud setup, receipts and statements are stored and attached to the transactions they support.

Do I need a bookkeeper if I already have an accountant for taxes?

Your tax accountant prepares returns from your records. They usually don't maintain those records month to month. If your books aren't reconciled during the year, your accountant either spends billable time cleaning them up or files from incomplete numbers. Monthly bookkeeping keeps your records current so year-end is quick and accurate.

Can you handle my GST/HST returns too?

Yes. We track HST throughout the month as part of bookkeeping, and we can prepare and file your GST/HST returns on your required schedule. Once you're over the $30,000 small supplier threshold, registration is generally mandatory. See our HST Returns service for details.

What if my books are already months or years behind?

Start with our catch-up bookkeeping service. We bring your records current, including any unfiled HST returns, then transition you to monthly bookkeeping so you don't fall behind again.

Is my financial information secure?

We use secure, cloud-based accounting platforms with encrypted connections and controlled user access, and we share documents through secure portals rather than email attachments where possible.

Do you only work with businesses in Toronto?

Our office is in downtown Toronto and most of our clients are across the GTA, but because our bookkeeping service is fully cloud-based, we work with businesses throughout Ontario and across Canada.
