Hi, What stood out to me in your posting is that you're not looking for someone to simply enter transactions—you need someone who can keep the books current every week, maintain accurate HST tracking throughout the year, and ensure month-end reporting is completed without last-minute surprises. I can support the full bookkeeping cycle, including transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable tracking, monthly reporting, and ongoing HST monitoring. I understand how costly small bookkeeping errors can become when they compound over months, especially when preparing for annual filings. Beyond data entry, I focus on identifying issues early—duplicate transactions, missing receipts, reconciliation discrepancies, and incorrect categorizations—so they can be resolved before they impact reporting. I am also comfortable maintaining a clean Google Sheets KPI dashboard with key financial metrics, cash position, receivables, payables, and expense tracking, giving management a clear view of the firm's performance at all times. A few quick questions: * Approximately how many monthly transactions are processed? * Are all bank and credit card accounts already connected and organized? * Is the KPI dashboard already built, or would you like it created from scratch?
