Canadian Bookkeeping Compliance Resource
An Invitation
Bookkeeping-Essentials.ca extends an invitation to small business owners and home-based bookkeepers in Canada to explore this resource created with you in mind.
After retiring, I was motivated by a perceived need for a dedicated website for Canadian small business owners. I have transitioned my extensive library from the original .com site to provide more focused and relevant support for Canadian users.
Despite enjoying my retirement, my commitment to sharing useful and practical bookkeeping knowledge remains. This Canadian focused compliance site draws from over a decade of notes published on Bookkeeping-Essentials.com.
The design and content of the new site are influenced by my experience as a retired professional bookkeeper. The site is easy to navigate with a straightforward menu featuring compliance obligations, various tax categories, and audit ready books advice.
Bookkeeping-Essentials.ca extends an invitation to small business owners and home-based bookkeepers in Canada to explore and make use of this new resource. Your journey towards efficient and CRA compliant bookkeeping starts here!
I look forward to meeting up with you on my new site.

P.S. Bookkeeping-Essentials.com is not going away. It will just focus more on good, basic bookkeeping practices for Canadian and US bookkeepers and small business owners and less on tax.
