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 in Edmundston
What a set of Edmundston books has in it
In a town of about 16,600 where pulp and paper is the main employer, the books are usually kept by the owner or by one bookkeeper looking after several local businesses at once. BooksAuto is priced for that — per company, no per-user charge, and nothing to install unless you want it.
The local detail that shows up in the ledger: a mill town on the Quebec border, almost entirely francophone, and a mill means continuous shifts — 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.

The part of these books that catches people out
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.
Set by the province, not the city
Sales tax behind a Edmundston ledger
A Edmundston business charges HST at 15% — a provincial rule, so the same in every New Brunswick town. How the accounts are set up for it and how input tax credits are tracked is on the New Brunswick accounting page.
Payroll is in the same program, so a Edmundston 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.

Categorized as it comes in
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.
GST, HST, PST and QST
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.
Customers, vendors and invoices
Invoices and bills with what is owed and owing, aged, and the payments matched against them.
Reconciliation you can show
Bank reconciliations with the outstanding items listed, so a reviewer can see why the books and the statement differ.
Working papers A–N
The year-end file an accountant actually hands over: lead sheets, the trial balance, the adjusting entries and the support behind each one.

Questions
Accounting questions from Edmundston
What is different about pulp and paper books in Edmundston?
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.
What sales tax applies to a Edmundston business?
A business in Edmundston charges HST at 15%, the same as the rest of New Brunswick. 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.
Can you read my bank statements?
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.
How much does accounting software cost in Edmundston?
The same everywhere in Canada: $10 per company per month, with a 30-day free trial and no per-transaction charge.
Do I need an accountant to use it?
No, though many Edmundston 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.
