Bookkeeping services Toronto — cloud-based monthly bookkeeping on Xero Bronte Bay CPA

Accurate, current books are the foundation of every good financial decision. When your bookkeeping is done monthly — not in a year-end scramble — you always know your cash position, your HST balance, and your profitability. Your year-end tax filing becomes straightforward. CRA audits become manageable. And every significant business decision is made on real current data rather than instinct.

Bronte Bay provides monthly bookkeeping for incorporated businesses and professionals across Toronto and the GTA — fully cloud-based on Xero, with CPA oversight on every file.


What Our Monthly Bookkeeping Service Covers

Bank Reconciliation and Transaction Categorization

Xero connects directly to all major Canadian bank accounts and credit cards — importing transactions daily without any manual entry. Bank rules automatically categorize recurring transactions. Every month, Bronte Bay reconciles all accounts, reviews categorizations, and ensures the books match your actual bank balance. No spreadsheets. No manual entry. No mismatches discovered at year-end.

Receipt and Bill Capture via Hubdoc

Receipt capture and bill management bookkeeping Toronto — Hubdoc Xero Bronte Bay CPA

Hubdoc eliminates the receipt shoebox entirely. Photograph a receipt with your phone — Hubdoc reads it, extracts the vendor, date, amount, and HST, and pushes it pre-coded to Xero. Supplier invoices are auto-fetched from portals (Telus, Bell, Rogers, AWS, Google, Microsoft, utilities) monthly without any action from you. Bills arrive in Xero ready to approve — no manual entry at any step.

HST/GST Tracking and Filing

Xero tracks HST collected on sales and input tax credits (ITCs) on expenses throughout each filing period automatically. Bronte Bay reviews and files your HST return on time, every period — monthly, quarterly, or annually per your CRA frequency. No missed deadlines. No 3%–10% late remittance penalties. Every eligible ITC claimed.

Accounts Receivable Management

Bronte Bay tracks all outstanding invoices and produces weekly Aged Receivables reports — showing exactly who owes you money and for how long. For businesses with recurring clients, Rotessa pre-authorized debits collect payment automatically on the invoice due date and mark invoices as paid in Xero without any manual action.

Accounts Payable Management

Accounts payable management bookkeeping Toronto — Plooto Xero Bronte Bay CPA

Bills captured in Hubdoc are approved in Xero and paid via Plooto — scheduled EFT or cheque payments to suppliers, automatically reconciled back in Xero when they clear. No manual bank transfers. No reconciling payments to bills. No cheque books. Aged Payables reports show exactly what is owed and when it is due.

Payroll Processing

Payroll is processed through Wagepoint — Canada’s leading payroll platform — integrated directly with Xero. CPP (5.95%), CPP2 (4%), EI (1.64%), and provincial income tax are calculated at 2026 CRA rates automatically. After every pay run, payroll journal entries post to Xero without any manual step. T4 slips are filed by the February 28 deadline. Records of Employment (ROEs) are issued when employees leave.

Monthly Financial Statements and Reporting

Within the first week of each month, Bronte Bay delivers your monthly Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement — current, reconciled, and ready to review. At higher service tiers, a monthly business review with your CPA covers the key highlights, variances from prior month, and any financial questions on your agenda. You always know your numbers — not three weeks after the month closes.

📋 CPA Note: The most consistent pattern we see with new Bronte Bay clients is books that are 3–6 months behind when they first come to us. The cost of cleaning up 6 months of disorganized records is almost always higher than 6 months of ongoing monthly bookkeeping would have been. And at year-end, a CPA spending hours reconstructing your records is billed at CPA rates — not bookkeeper rates. The earlier you establish clean monthly bookkeeping, the lower your total annual accounting cost.

A bookkeeper records and categorizes all business transactions, reconciles bank and credit card accounts, tracks accounts receivable and payable, manages HST/GST filing, processes payroll, and produces monthly financial statements. At Bronte Bay, all bookkeeping is done on Xero and reviewed monthly by a licensed CPA — ensuring accuracy and providing professional oversight that a standalone bookkeeper cannot offer.
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of financial transactions — entering bills, categorizing expenses, reconciling banks, and producing monthly reports. Accounting is the higher-level analysis — tax planning, corporate tax filing, financial statement preparation, CRA audit support, and strategic financial advice. Most incorporated businesses need both. Bronte Bay provides both under one engagement — CPA-supervised bookkeeping and year-round tax planning under one fixed monthly fee.
Yes. All Bronte Bay bookkeeping clients run on Xero — a certified Xero Partner engagement. We connect your Canadian bank feeds, configure GST/HST tax codes, integrate Hubdoc for receipt and bill capture, and connect Plooto for accounts payable automation. You have real-time access to your own Xero account at any time — your financial data is always visible to you, not locked in our systems.
Yes. Bronte Bay regularly onboards new clients with books that are months or years behind. We assess the cleanup required, provide a fixed quote for the catch-up work, and then transition into ongoing monthly bookkeeping once the books are current. The catch-up is priced separately — you will know the exact cost before we start any work.
Year-end corporate tax (T2) is priced separately through our year-end packages starting from $1,575. However, because Bronte Bay handles your monthly bookkeeping, your year-end is always straightforward — clean, current books mean the T2 filing is never a reconstruction project. Many clients bundle a monthly bookkeeping package with a year-end package, or choose our all-inclusive packages which include both under one monthly fee from $1,153/month.
