Better Books Canada supporting Ottawa businesses across many industries

Two services, tailored to you

Books and taxes that fit your industry

A law firm files nothing like a restaurant, and a real estate investor faces rules an ecommerce seller never sees. That is why we offer two distinct services for each industry below. Our bookkeeping keeps your records clean and current in QuickBooks Online, and our tax filing is prepared and filed by a CPA. Pick the page that matches your industry to see how each service works for you, or explore our bookkeeping services and our tax services in full.

Client reviews

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. E-commerce can get complicated fast with fees and multiple payment platforms. Better Books Canada broke it down in a way that actually made sense. Reports arrive on time and highlight what needs attention. It’s been easier to focus on growth instead of trying to reconcile transactions late at night.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This firm is amazingly detail focused and client centric. I have been using them since the conception of my business and without their expertise and dedication to the numbers of it all I would not be able to flourish the way I am. Furthermore, Bashar is personable, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, timely, trustworthy, genuine and all around a total win to have on any team for financial services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a consultant working with federal clients in Ottawa, I needed someone who understood proper documentation and clean records. The team organized everything and set up consistent reporting so nothing slips through the cracks. It has saved hours every month. Things just feel under control now.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Appreciate the consistency. Reports come in on time and make sense. That’s really all that was needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bashar is incredibly competent, knowledgeable and honest. He is not a bookkeeper that likes to meddle in grey areas. He has worked for the CRA and does everything he can to protect and inform his clients. He provides an incredible amount of value compared to the amount that he charges, and it’s truly been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend Bashar if anyone is looking for bookkeeping services in Ottawa.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and well-run business. Bashar was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable, and the office was clean and easy to access. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Industry bookkeeping and tax FAQs

Yes, and they are two separate services. Our bookkeeping keeps your records clean and current in QuickBooks Online, while our tax filing is prepared and filed by a CPA. You can choose one, the other, or both. Open the industry page above to see how each service works for your field.

Each industry carries its own rules. Law firms manage trust accounts, restaurants track tips and food costs, and real estate investors deal with capital cost allowance. When your books and returns are set up around your industry, nothing important gets missed.

No. Everything is handled online with secure digital records, so there is nothing to drop off or pick up. You share your documents digitally and we work from there, anywhere in Canada. When we handle your bookkeeping, we run everything in QuickBooks Online.

Your return is prepared and filed by a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), so your filing is accurate, compliant, and ready for CRA review. Tax filing is a distinct service from bookkeeping, and you can use either on its own.

Very likely, yes. The industries above are the ones we support most often, but we work with many other businesses too. Book a free consultation and tell us what you do, and we will let you know how we can help.

No. We have four offices across the Ottawa region, and we work with individuals and businesses throughout Canada using secure, cloud based tools.
