Secure Digital Delivery

What’s Not Included ❌
This package is intended as a file check for corporate taxes, resulting in a complete file with a trial balance that is accurate. It does NOT include:
- Monthly bookkeeping work (see Catchup services)
- Troubleshooting and in-depth fixes of setup (see Catchup+Fix)
- Building amortization schedules or calculating accrued interest
- Preparing Caseware, TaxCycle, or tax software files
Accurate, complete, and timely
Whether the file was human-completed, AI-assisted, or AI-generated – every account is reviewed, reconciled, and verified before your time and resources are deployed and your workflow is disrupted.
- All accounts reviewed and verified for accuracy and completeness
- NO guesswork, NO incomplete work, NO “close enough”
- Your file is fully reconciled and documented to the highest standard possible with the information provided
- Standard turnaround: 10 days once information, documents and access are received
AI-generated books welcome
AI-reviewed doesn’t mean accountant-ready. Human review of automated systems remains critical, especially when accuracy, compliance and completeness matter. I verify what automation missed – so you don’t have to:
- Misclassified or duplicated transactions
- Missing reconciliations and incorrect account balances
- Incorrect GST/HST/PST filings
- Retained earnings that don’t match prior years
- Missing documentation or assumptions that could impact your-end prep

What's the difference between the Year-End Clean-Up/Prep, Bookkeeping Catchup/Fix?
Year End Cleanup & Prep
- Books are up to date, but may contain errors or inconsistencies
- Includes all supporting documents (or listed missing documents if we are acting as a silent “backend” partner)
- A professional review and reconciliation of your books at year end
- Accounts all ready to import into tax software
Bookkeeping Catchup / Catchup+Fix
- For books that are not up to date (months or even years behind)
- Includes data entry and reconciliation
- Fixing required if any accounts are set up incorrectly

Do you offer payment plans?
For files purchased individually, I can offer:
- 70% up front
- 30% due before delivery
For files purchased in bulk, I can offer the following terms:
- 70% up front
- For 5x package: remaining 30% due before the start of the 3rd file
- For 10x pacakage: remaining 30% due before the start of the 6th file
Is there a return/refund policy?
Refunds are applicable on a per-file basis, so long as no work has been started on that particular file. Refunds must be requested within 60 days of purchase. Refunds will be issued within 2-3 weeks.
For refunds on bulk purchases:
- Any year-end files started will be billed at the individual rate (not the bulk rate) of $1,250 per file
- A $200 admin fee will be subtracted
- Your refund = the original amount paid – [# of files started x $1,250 each] – $200
When purchasing a package of 5x or 10x file reviews, do I have to use them all within a given time frame?
Ideally these should be used within one calendar year of purchase.
If I buy the 5x or 10x, can I send in all the files at once?
Yes, you can send all your files at once – but only three files per firm can be in our 10-day turnaround workflow at any given time.
We use a rolling intake system to keep timelines on track and ensure every file receives the same high-quality attention.
Here’s how it works:
- Up to 3 active files per firm can be in production at once (within the 10-business-day turnaround window).
- As soon as one file is completed and delivered, the next file enters the 10-day workflow.
- You can pre-schedule your bundle in advance – this keeps your internal workflow predictable and makes tax season easier to manage.
This system helps us avoid bottlenecks, maintain quality, and deliver consistently reliable results across all clients.
