Know where your business stands throughout the year

Monthly accounting keeps recurring work on a consistent schedule throughout the year. Transactions are accounted for, balances are reconciled, period-end adjustments are completed, and financial reports are prepared for management use.

For lower-volume businesses, a quarterly cadence may provide the right balance.

When recurring accounting is worth considering

Year-end regularly surfaces issues that would have been easier to address earlier

Accounting questions are pulling you away from running your business

You can’t quickly see what your business earned, spent, or owes

You need financial information before deciding on hiring, pricing, or cash flow

GST/HST and payroll deadlines are getting harder to stay ahead of

You want a CPA who already knows your business when questions come up

Monthly or quarterly?

The right cadence depends on your transaction activity, reporting needs, and filing schedule. It can change as your business changes.

Monthly may fit when

  • Transaction activity is recurring or increasing
  • The accounting requires attention each month
  • Information must be available before quarter-end or year-end
  • Payroll or GST/HST activity requires regular accounting
  • Reporting discussions occur monthly

Quarterly may fit when

  • Activity is lower-volume or periodic
  • The accounting remains reliable between reporting dates
  • Quarterly information is timely enough for decisions
  • Filing and reporting follow the same cadence
