BOOKKEEPING SERVICES

 

BOOKKEEPING THAT TELLS YOU THE TRUTH. EVERY MONTH.

Outsourced bookkeeping for growing North American businesses. Verified numbers, closed monthly, handled by a team that knows your business.

Our team provides bookkeeping for growing businesses across North America. Books are reconciled and closed monthly, with reporting produced from verified data. Accounting systems are designed and integrated around each business, and the monthly file is shared with your broader advisory team.

THE PROBLEM

Most owners don't find out their books are wrong until it costs them.

Numbers arrive late. Month-end close drags into the third week of the following month. You make a hiring call, a pricing call, or an equipment call on data you already suspect is stale.

Then year-end arrives and the cleanup starts. That isn't a discipline problem. It's a structural one, and it's the most common thing we see in businesses that grew faster than their back office did.

THE SOLUTION

What Lands In Your Inbox, Every Month

01

Books reconciled and closed on a fixed monthly schedule

02

A profit and loss statement and balance sheet you can read without a translator

03

Payroll processed and government remittances filed on time

04

05

Issues an opportunities flagged with your assigned accountant and CFO

06

Systems and integrations monitored, so the data stays clean at the source

07

A named team who knows your business and answers when you call

08

A professionally trained team that is current on industry best practices, not one person trying to do it all

SYSTEMS AND INTEGRATION

Your Systems, designed around your business

Most bookkeeping runs on whatever software was set up first and never revisited. The gaps show up later. Data re-keyed between tools. Transactions that don't carry the detail you need to analyze them. Reports that can't answer the question you're actually asking.

We design the stack around how your business runs, not around a default configuration. Your accounting platform, payroll, payment processing, and banking feeds get architected to work as one system, with automations and data flows built so every transaction is captured, coded, and connected at the source.

We're software agnostic. We work in what you already use, and if a different platform would serve your business better, we'll show you why and leave the decision with you. What we won't do is accept a setup that quietly limits what your numbers can tell you.

WHAT GETS DESIGNED

A chart of accounts structured around the decisions you make, not a generic template

 

Integrations between your accounting platform, payroll, payments, and operational systems

 

Automated data flows that remove manual re-entry and the errors that come with it

 

Bank and credit card feeds connected and monitored

 

Document and receipt capture built into the workflow

 

Access and permissions set up deliberately

THE TEAM

Your Business Doesn’t Operate in a Silo.

Neither Does Our Team.

At most firms, bookkeeping ends when the data is entered. Yours doesn't.

Your file is handled by a dedicated team inside our firm, with a named point of contact who knows your business and stays with it. But the numbers don't stop there. Your accountants, tax specialists, and CFO work alongside that team, reviewing what comes through for the things a data entry process would never surface.

Margin moving in the wrong direction. A tax planning opportunity that closes at year-end. Cash tightening a quarter before it becomes a problem. An exposure worth fixing while it's still small.


That's the difference between a service that records what happened and one that notices what it means for your business. When a bookkeeping question turns into a tax question, and it often does, the answer comes from down the hall instead of a referral.

SWITCHING PROVIDERS

You Don't Need Clean Books To Make a Clean Break.

Most businesses come to us mid-year, with books somewhere between behind and unreliable. That's normal. It's planned for.

We start with stabilization and recovery. Time-sensitive items first. Prior errors corrected. A clear catch-up plan with real dates, which you approve before any work begins. Your existing software stays or moves depending on what serves you, not on what's convenient for us.

The right time to switch is when your setup stops serving your business.

ONBOARDING

From first call to FINANCIAL CONTROL

 

STEP 01

Discovery

We start with your business, not just your books: history, structure, systems, and where growth is headed. This is where we find the gap between where your data sits today and where it needs to be.

 

STEP 02

Design

We architect the bookkeeping structure and the technology around it: chart of accounts, platform, integrations, data flows and clear ownership of each piece.

 

STEP 03

Deploy

We build it. Systems get connected, data gets migrated or corrected, and your monthly rhythm goes live.

 

STEP 04

Dial-In

The first few months are for tightening. We refine the reporting, the cadence, and the detail until the system matches how your business runs.

 

STEP 05

Drive

Financial control. Verified books every month, issues surfaced early, and a team that already knows your business.

OUTSOURCING VERSUS HIRING IN-HOUSE

ONE BOOKKEEPER, OR A BENCH

ONE BOOKKEEPER

A single in-house bookkeeper is one person's capacity, one person's skill set, and one person's vacation schedule. When they're away, the work waits. When they leave, the knowledge leaves with them.

A BENCH

Outsourcing changes the shape of that. Coverage doesn't depend on one person being at their desk. The work gets reviewed rather than self-checked. And when a question crosses into tax, payroll complexity, or planning, the answer comes from the same team rather than a search for someone new.

There's no universal right answer here. There is a point where the volume and complexity outgrow one person, and most owners feel it before they can name it. 

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Clean Books Are The Foundation, Not The Finish Line

Accurate monthly books are where financial control starts. They're also what makes everything above them possible: tax planning done while the window is still open, and advisory work built on numbers that hold up.

That's the system we call the Financial Operating System.

 

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Gauvreau are hands down, the leader in the accounting industry. We’ve had past accountants that simply do that, accounting. Then you’ve got Bob and his team, where they go above and beyond the call of duty. They truly care how your business is doing, and have become a pinnacle driver of how we run our business, look at numbers, and plan for our future. They have an entire team available and the response time is second to none. We also love their offerings, from simple taxes, to legal advice, and all the way up to an option of a CFO program where we have monthly meetings to look back, look at, and forecast our business and its numbers. They truly are a cut above the rest. Nothing else compares. Thank you!"
Jason Jablonski
"When new legislation came down the pipe for our industry, I had to speak with several firms before finding Gauvreau and being introduced to Tyler Powers. Tyler was the only one who could confidently answer my questions. I have been extremely impressed with the level of service he and the team have been able to provide from a tax planning and bookkeeping perspective. As a busy entrepreneur with an evolving business, it's crucial to be able to know the team behind you not only cares, but is one you can trust who can help you make informed & confident decisions throughout your year and day to day. Every interaction I've had with any member of the team at Gauvreau has always been pleasant, prompt and professional. Would happily recommend, keep up the great work everyone!"
Justin McClintock
"We have been clients of Gauvreau for several years and have consistently received exceptional service. Their team takes the time to answer questions clearly, provide practical guidance, and ensure everything is handled accurately and efficiently. We appreciate their attention to detail, expertise, and commitment to client service. It is reassuring to work with a firm we can trust for both our personal and business accounting needs. We are grateful for the support and advice they have provided over the years and would confidently recommend them to anyone seeking experienced and dependable accounting professionals."
Paula Hensley
"I cannot even put into words how appreciative I am of this firm. I have NO IDEA what on Earth I was doing without them before. They truly and genuinely care about hoping you and your business, and your money. The organization of all the Departments is great! I feel SO confident having my finances in their hands. They have spent days and hours with me going over everything to make sure I know exactly what is going on. They have dug deep for me to try to make sure I was taken care of. Thank you so much!"
Jessica Yates
"Started using Gauvreau over a year ago to help set-up a corporation and then to do my personal and corporate tax returns. My main point of contact has been Tyler Powers and I cannot say enough positive things about this firm and person. Starting a corporation and working through the financial statements and tax returns is supposed to be overwhelming, but with the support of Tyler and the team at Gauvreau, it’s been a breeze. Anytime I have concerns or questions, Tyler makes it easy for me to reach out and alleviate any stress I had, which allowed me to focus on my business and not worry about the numbers. I highly recommend Gauvreau for any accounting, tax or even legal needs. Extremely happy client!!"
Ryan McNamee

"We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Gauvreau! As new business owners navigating finances and taxes can feel overwhelming, but the entire team has been incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. They take the time to ensure everything is handled properly and efficiently, giving us confidence and peace of mind. Their proactive approach, clear communication, and attention to detail truly set them apart. We highly recommend them to any business looking for a reliable and professional accounting partner. "

Stephanie Benedetti
"I was referred by a client and friend of mine, who highly recommended Bob and his team to help me first with bookkeeping, which has now turned into accounting that we're moving over as well as they've set us up in record time. Knowing I can lean on them for speed of execution in the legal and accounting space, it's something after 17 years of business I am NOT accustomed too. I'm building our a multi million dollar real estate portfolio and have been looking for someone able to advise on strategy and actually execute. Knowing I have someone reliable and who can move with speed in the investing world (for me anyways) is HUGE! ;-)"
Barney Kuntze
"I LOVE Gauvreau! Bob Gauvreau is an expert in his field and he seeks out like-minded professionals to work for/with him. The entire staff are exceptional, from the smiling front desk staff to the support staff who respond promptly to any inquiry you may have. I deal with Tyler Powers who is amazing and quick to respond and give advice but other colleagues also deal with Gauvreau and have had the same experience. Their knowledge is extensive and they love to share what they know. I cannot recommend them enough!"
Shirley Turner
"As a small business, numbers are everything to us. Bob and his team go above and beyond what you’d expect from an accountant or bookkeeping firm. They offer a turn-key solution for us that has so much value that our financials are no longer a major burden or stress to us. If you own a business I highly recommend talking with Gauvreau, they can help identify where you are succeeding and where you could make some much needed change. It might just save your business!"
Scott Cleator

"My income taxes were more complex than usual this year. Tyler Powers assisted me by going above and beyond to acquire the needed information.

Jacqueline Powell
"The team at Gauvreau is world-class!!! I was having a very stressful day dealing with banks & lawyers and I needed a tax document from them.
