Any statement, proved to the cent
Bank and credit card statements read straight from a PDF, a scan or a CSV — then balanced against the statement total, so nothing is quietly dropped or doubled.
Books for Leduc's oilfield services, airport and logistics and manufacturing — each client in a company of its own, on its own chart of accounts. Bank and card statements read and proved, 5% GST, and year-end working papers — online or on Windows.
With about 34,000 people and oilfield services as the largest employer of them, followed by airport and logistics, Leduc keeps a small number of bookkeepers busy across a wide range of trades. The month-end problem is breadth, not volume.
The local detail that shows up in the ledger: the airport and the industrial park next to it run shifts, while the town itself is small-employer territory — and the books have to reflect it rather than flatten it.
Month end starts with the statements, and BooksAuto reads a bank or credit card statement from a PDF, a scan or a CSV and proves it against the statement total before anything is posted. A dropped page or a doubled transaction is caught then, not at year-end. Transactions are coded to the chart of accounts and learn from the corrections you make.
Resource books are capital-heavy: large assets on long depreciation schedules, and a great many contractor invoices. The one to watch is the contractor invoice — an input tax credit needs the supplier to be registered, so the GST number is worth checking before the credit is claimed rather than after it is questioned.
General Canadian sales-tax treatment, not advice on your own return — and municipal charges vary, so confirm what applies to your business before you file.
A Leduc business charges 5% GST — a provincial rule, so the same in every Alberta town. How the accounts are set up for it and how input tax credits are tracked is on the Alberta accounting page.
Payroll is in the same program, so a Leduc client's wages, source deductions and employer cost post themselves into these books on the accounts you chose — nothing re-keyed from a payroll summary.
Bank and credit card statements read straight from a PDF, a scan or a CSV — then balanced against the statement total, so nothing is quietly dropped or doubled.
Transactions are coded to the chart of accounts and learn from the corrections you make, so the second month takes a fraction of the first.
The sales tax return comes out of the ledger rather than a spreadsheet, with the working behind every figure and the input tax credits separated out.
Invoices and bills with what is owed and owing, aged, and the payments matched against them.
Bank reconciliations with the outstanding items listed, so a reviewer can see why the books and the statement differ.
The year-end file an accountant actually hands over: lead sheets, the trial balance, the adjusting entries and the support behind each one.
Payroll posts itself into these books, so wages, source deductions and the employer cost land on the right accounts without a journal entry.
Same price everywhere in Canada — 50% off Payroll for your first year. Accounting firms: $3 Payroll + $3 Bookkeeping per client per month.

A business in Leduc charges 5% GST, the same as the rest of Alberta. Sales tax is set by the province, not the city — though a municipality may levy its own charge on things like accommodation, which is reported separately from the sales tax.
Yes — as a PDF, a scan or a CSV. Each statement is proved against its own closing total before anything is posted, so a missing page or a doubled transaction is caught at the start of the month rather than at year-end.
The same everywhere in Canada: $10 per company per month, with a 30-day free trial and no per-transaction charge.
No, though many Leduc businesses share the file with theirs. The year-end working papers are the ones an accountant expects, so handing the file over does not mean rebuilding it.
