Bookkeeping and Accounting
-
Yep! You can add any amount of catch up bookkeeping to your Numinor plan. No matter how far behind you are (yes, even years behind), we can get you caught up quickly.
-
We provide our clients with a modified form of cash basis bookkeeping. With this system, we record transactions as soon as the money has been deposited into your bank or charged to your bank/credit card.
We can complete accrual adjustments like tracking accounts receivable and/or accounts payable, unearned revenue tracking, and more with our specialized accounting add-on. If we are recording accrual adjustments for you, revenues and expenses are recorded when they’re earned throughout the year, regardless of when the money is actually received or paid. At year end we will remove these accrual elements to ensure your bookkeeping is adjusted back to modified cash basis.
If you’re unsure if cash basis bookkeeping will work for your business, talk to us. We’d be happy to understand the needs of your business and determine if Numinor is a good fit for you.
-
This depends on how many months of Catch Up bookkeeping you need, but typically it takes us a few weeks to complete one year’s worth of overdue bookkeeping, once we get all the documents we need from you.

Numinor is proud to offer bookkeeping services to businesses across the Canada.

We are here to help you streamline your accounting needs efficiently and effectively.
-
Once we receive all of your documents and information from you, it'll take us minimum 30 business days to get your books ready for day-to-day decision-making. As the year progresses, if we learn new information about your business's unique financial setup that we weren't previously aware of (such as loans, credit cards, new bank accounts, etc) we may still continue to make adjustments to previous months based on the new information. Around tax season, it's normal for us to make further final year-end adjustments to get your books fully CRA-compliant for tax-filing purposes. These changes will be reflected in your year-end financial package.
If you have specific timeline needs, you can always let your bookkeeping team know and they'll do their best to accommodate them, assuming we have everything we need from you to get your books ready.
-
Your bookkeeper reconciles your accounts, categorizes your transactions, and produces your financial statements. They also make adjustments to your books to ensure they’re tax-compliant. Occasionally your bookkeeper might need your input on things like categorizing a transaction properly, but we try our best to make bookkeeping as hands-off as possible for you.
You can also book a call with your bookkeeper (or send them a message) whenever you’d like. There’s no extra fee or hourly charges for support—we’re always happy to nerd out about bookkeeping and your financial statements. -
Bookkeeping gives you a crystal clear picture of where your money is coming (and going.) When your books are up-to-date, you get an accurate measure of your business’s health, and can make smarter financial decisions.
Having accurate books pays off at tax time, too. When your bookkeeping is up-to-date, you avoid scrambling to get caught up before the tax deadline, or missing out on any deductions.
Tax
-
Your tax team can help you with a wide variety of income tax-related questions! Here are some examples to get you started:
The CRA just sent me a letter, what does it mean? Do I have to pay quarterly estimates? Should I incorporate my business? Should I write off mileage or get a business vehicle? Would it be advantageous to switch to an federal corp?
Your Numinor Tax Advisors are available year-round, and will answer your questions in two business days or less. Don’t have any burning questions? That’s okay, too! We’re still on hand to support you, and can give recommendations based on your unique business needs.

Numinor currently does not complete tax filings or tax planning for businesses that are not Canadian residents.

Yes, we’ll prep and file your taxes for you as part of our Bookkeeping & Tax plan!
Once your bookkeeper completes your year end financials, your dedicated Tax Coordinator and Tax Advisor will facilitate the preparation, review, and filing of your income tax return. When it’s ready, we’ll reach out to you for the “all clear.” Then, we’ll file your taxes and pull funds directly from your account to pay any applicable taxes.
And since tax time stress isn’t limited to tax season, year-round tax advisory services comes standard. Our tax professionals are on hand for all your tax planning needs. With check-ins throughout the year, your tax team leaves no deductions behind.
