What bookkeeping services Vancouver businesses hand off first
Most Vancouver businesses start with the repeat tasks that take the most time:
- Entering bank and card transactions into QuickBooks or Xero.
- Coding each cost to the right expense category.
- Matching supplier invoices to bank payments.
- Tracking federal GST and BC PST collected and paid each period.
- Month-end bank reconciliation and a monthly summary report.
Your bookkeeper handles these on a set schedule. You review the report and send corrections. They come back the same day.
BC GST and PST for Vancouver businesses
British Columbia is one of the few Canadian provinces that uses a separate provincial sales tax (PST) rather than a combined HST. Federal GST is 5%. BC PST is 7% on most goods and some services. Both need to be tracked and filed separately. Your bookkeeper codes each transaction to the right tax as it arrives. By the time the return period closes, the totals are ready for your accountant to file.
