Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, and tax services for New Brunswick small business owners who want clear numbers without the stress.

When you're managing clients, staff, and everything else that comes with owning a business, your books can start to feel like one more thing sitting on your plate. Not because you don't care about the numbers. Because you do. But keeping up with them consistently, while running everything else, is genuinely hard.

That tension has a cost. When your finances aren't current, you're making decisions without the full picture. You're not sure what you actually made last month. You're not sure what you're entitled to claim. And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's a question you can't quite answer: is this business as healthy as it feels?

A bookkeeper who keeps things accurate and current every month takes that off your plate and replaces the uncertainty with something you can actually use.

When your books are done consistently, something shifts. You stop making financial decisions based on what's in your bank account and start making them based on what's actually happening in your business. You can see whether last month was profitable. You can see where the money went. When someone asks how the business is doing, you know the real answer, not just a rough sense of it. That kind of clarity doesn't just help at tax time. It changes how confident you feel about the business you're running every single day.

Rachel Bourque is a bilingual senior bookkeeper based in New Brunswick. Over 15 years she has worked with small business owners across a wide range of industries and has seen every kind of financial situation a small business goes through.

She holds a diploma in accounting, payroll, and business administration and a tax certification through H&R Block. She works with QuickBooks and Sage 50, so wherever your books live right now, she can work in them.

Having someone accurate and consistent handling your finances means you always know where things stand and you're not left guessing when it matters most.

A 30-minute conversation about your business, what you're tracking now, and what you want to feel more confident about. Rachel can put together a customized plan for your business based on your needs.

Rachel establishes how you'll work together. How you send receipts, how she manages your accounts, what your monthly reports will look like, all set up around how you actually run your business.

With regular bookkeeping in place, your numbers are always current. Filings go out on time. Tax season becomes straightforward instead of a scramble. Every month you have an accurate picture of where your business stands.

Inaccurate or incomplete books don't just create stress. They cost real money. HST credits and eligible business expenses that aren't tracked get left on the table. When Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a question and your records aren't organized, what should be a simple response becomes a much bigger problem. Beyond CRA, the harder cost is the decisions you make without good information. Whether to hire, take on a bigger contract, or invest in something new, those decisions carry more risk when your numbers aren't telling you the full story. Most business owners don't say this part out loud: it is hard to feel fully in control of your business when you're not sure what the numbers mean. That uncertainty is what Rachel's work removes.

Your records are current. Your deductions are claimed. Your HST is filed on time. You know what your business made last month and what it cost to run. When CRA has a question, you have the answer. When a business decision comes up, you have real numbers to work with. Tax season stops being something you dread and becomes something that's just handled. That is what working with Rachel looks like.

How do I get my documents to you?

Most clients photograph receipts and upload them through QuickBooks, or scan and email them once a month. Rachel will walk you through whatever process fits how you work.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. Rachel manages payroll for businesses of different sizes and handles remittances, T4s, and year-end payroll filings.

What does this cost?
Pricing depends on what your business needs. A discovery call is the best way to get a clear answer.

Do you work in French?
Yes. Rachel is fully bilingual and works with clients in English and French.
