Bookkeeping & controller services · Montréal

Your books, closed.
Every month.

We take bookkeeping and the month-end close off your plate, set up the tools that keep the work moving, and hand you clear numbers by the 8th business day. Accounting stops being the bottleneck.

30-minute call, no commitment.

The cycle

Never quite done. Every month. We end it — and start the next one clean.

Late receipts, bills paid by hand, numbers that arrive too late to use. Sound familiar? Flip a card to see how we break each step.

Process

A cycle that closes, every month.

The same rigorous, predictable process, month after month.

Closed
  1. Capture

    Bank feeds, spend and receipts captured in Float or Dext, bills paid through Float or Plooto: it all lands in one place.

  2. Reconcile

    Every bank account, card and balance sheet account is reconciled — no differences left hanging.

  3. Review

    Controller-level review: accruals, allocations, and questions asked before the period is closed.

  4. Report

    Financial statements, metrics and commentary delivered by the 8th business day, followed by a call to walk through them.

Month after month

The cycle never stops. Your books are always closed.

Every month ends with a close — and the next one starts on a clean slate.

FAQ

Common questions

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Mostly professional services firms (agencies, consultants, practices) and food businesses (restaurants and caterers) in Quebec and Ontario. We also welcome businesses in other industries, anywhere in Canada.

Do I need to switch software?

No. We work in QuickBooks Online or Xero. If you don't have accounting software yet, we'll help you choose and set it up.

Do you file corporate taxes?

Yes. We prepare corporate income tax returns: the federal T2 and, for Quebec companies, the CO-17. We don't do review engagements, audits or other work reserved for CPAs; if you need one, we work with your CPA firm or point you to one we trust.

Our books are months behind. Can you help?

Yes — that's exactly what the Clean-up package is for. We bring your books current, then we can take over month to month.

Do you work in French?

Yes. Everything we do is available in English and French — our French site is findecycle.com.

How does onboarding work?

A 30-minute discovery call, a fixed-price quote, then access to your tools. Your first close follows within the month.
