Windsor-Essex, Ontario · And across Canada
I take the whole bookkeeping part off your plate, so your time goes back into the work that actually makes you money, and you get clean, reconciled books and a profit and loss every month without touching them.
Request a free reviewThree things, done properly every month. Pick where you are starting from, and I will handle it from there.
Who this is for: Owners whose books are current, or close to it, and who want them to stay that way without spending their evenings on them.
Who this is for: Owners who are months behind and need the pile cleared properly before monthly bookkeeping can even start.
Who this is for: Owners who want filing time to be simple, with nothing rebuilt in a panic at the last minute.
Not sure which one you need? That is exactly what the free review is for. I will tell you where your books stand and which starting point fits.
There are plenty of bookkeepers you could hire. Here is the honest difference: I am sitting on your side of the desk.
I run a business here in Windsor-Essex, and I do this exact work on my own books every month. I hold my own operation to a high standard: current, reconciled, and ready for filing. You get that same standard on your books.
Adding a service is a business decision, and owners should have clear numbers before they commit. I run my own business the same way: properly, with the books current and the costs understood up front. That is the approach I bring to your decision too.
When you message, you get me: the owner, and the person doing your books. No hand-offs, no call centre. Your books come back clean, reconciled, and accountant-ready, so filing is straightforward for whoever handles your return.
That is why everything here starts with a free review and a quote in writing. You see exactly what it costs and what you get before you spend anything, so you can decide with clear numbers.
No commitment up front. You see the state of your books and the full cost before you decide anything.
1
Send me a message and I will review where your books stand right now: what is current, what is behind, whether the accounts reconcile to the bank, and what it would take to get them clean.
2
Before any work begins, you get the state of things and the full cost in writing. You decide with real numbers in front of you, not a sales pitch and not a surprise later.
3
If the books are behind, we clean that up first. From there I keep them current every month: categorized, reconciled, and closed with statements ready for you.
Founding clients: I am taking on my first outside clients now. Founding rates are locked for your first six months, then reviewed with 30 days notice. The free review comes first either way.
That is where a proper rebuild matters most. Months behind is a clear starting point, not a dead end. It gets handled the way I handle my own books: from the bank records up, until every account reconciles to the cent.
9 months
Rebuilt from the bank records up
This fall I rebuilt nine months of my own studio's books from the bank records up. Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled to the cent, and a clean, current set of books from there. It is the standard I run my operation to.
2nd business
Moved and caught up the same way
I moved a second business of mine off a cancelled accounting system and caught it up the same way: records rebuilt, accounts reconciled, and the books brought fully current.
I'm Rob. I run a business here in Windsor-Essex, and I run Durocher Bookkeeping.
I do every bit of this for my own businesses first, and I keep them current every month. A well-run operation needs books that are accurate and up to date, and that is the standard behind this work.
I also understand that bringing in a bookkeeper is a decision owners consider carefully. As an owner myself, I know clear numbers matter before you commit. That is why every engagement here starts with a free review, so you see the state of your books and the full cost before you decide. If you already have someone handling it, no worries at all.
My work stops at clean, reconciled books. I keep your books so clean that filing is fast, and your HST numbers are ready to hand over.
The same questions come up on almost every first message. Here are the straight answers.
Every business is a different size, so I quote after the free review, in writing, before any work begins. You see the full cost first and then you decide. For founding clients, that rate is locked for your first six months, then reviewed with 30 days notice. No prices are posted here because a real quote has to match your actual books.
No. There is no long contract to get started. You see the quote in writing, you decide, and the monthly work continues month to month while it is useful to you. The only commitment I ask for is that we are clear in writing about what is included, so there are no surprises on either side.
It depends on how far behind you are and how complete your bank and card records are. The free review gives you a clear timeline in writing before you commit. What I can tell you from my own work is that a nine month rebuild is very doable when it is worked month by month from the bank records up, oldest first, until every account reconciles.
Never. Ever. I work from bank and card statements and photos of receipts for the odd items. You should never hand your banking password to a bookkeeper, including me.
“I don't file your taxes. I keep your books so clean that filing is fast, and your HST numbers are ready to hand over.” That line matters to me. You should know exactly where my work stops, and it stops at clean, reconciled books that make everyone else's job easier.
No. I am based in Windsor-Essex, and I work with clients remotely across Canada. Statements and receipts move by email, so distance does not change the work.
Nothing. You get the state of your books and the full cost, and then you decide. If you already have your books handled, that is fine too.
Tell me a little about your business and where your books stand. This builds an email to me, ready to send from your own email app. I will reply with what a review would look at and what happens next. If you already have someone handling it, that is fine too.
Open it in your email app to send it, or copy the message and paste it into a new email to durocherbookkeeping@gmail.com.
