What Makes Us Different

The accountant who runs his own daycare.
Because we live your reality every day.

01
Operator-Accountant
Our founder owns and runs a subsidized daycare in Quebec. We understand your reality because we live it—MFA budget rules, subsidies, educator payroll, board pressure. No abstract jargon.
02
Not Your Auditor
We do not produce your RFA and we sign nothing. We keep your books all year long so your auditor has nothing to fix. Most of the time the audit finishes in half the time—and costs less.
03
Monthly Precision
Reconciliation every month. Books closed within 10 days. Owner dashboard delivered. You know exactly where you stand—not in June of next year when the RFA finally lands.
Our Process

Fast. Paperless. Auditable.

Our Promise
Our speed and our price are unmatched in Quebec.
QBO linked to your bank
Your bank transactions flow automatically into QuickBooks Online. No more manual entry, no more missed transactions, no more month-end variance.
→
Invoices captured by phone
Snap a photo of the invoice, the system captures it. No binders, no shoeboxes of receipts, no paperwork. You run your daycare—we handle the rest.
→
Paperless, in real time
Everything is digital, organized and accessible 24/7. Your numbers are current—not once a month, not once a year.
→
Auditable in one click
Every entry is linked to its source invoice. Your auditor, the MFA, your board—one click and they see the supporting document. Audit-ready, always.

What We Deliver

Our Services for Daycares & CPEs

01
+
Monthly Bookkeeping
Every transaction categorized correctly. Every account reconciled.
Bank, credit cards, vendors, subsidies, payroll—all entered, classified and reconciled every month. Your books stay ready to be reviewed by you, your board, or your auditor at any time.
02
+
Monthly Close
Your books closed within the first 10 days of the following month.
No more waiting until RFA time to know where you stand. Rigorous monthly close: adjusting entries, depreciation, accruals. Your monthly financials are always current, reliable and actionable.
03
+
Owner Dashboard
Cash, expenses, revenue, profit—all on one page.
A clear dashboard delivered each month: liquidity, occupancy, budget variance, expenses by category, net margin. Designed for the owner, not the accountant. In 5 minutes you know if everything is on track.
04
+
Educator Payroll
Wages, deductions, remittances, compliance. Handled end-to-end.
Full payroll for your team: educators, assistants, kitchen, management. Pay stubs, T4/Relevé 1, source deductions, pay equity, CNESST. Compliant with Quebec labour standards and MFA requirements.
05
+
Annual Budget & Forecast
A realistic budget. Variance tracked every month.
We build your annual budget line by line, respecting MFA budget rules. Then monthly variance tracking so you know where to adjust. 12-month cash flow forecast to anticipate peaks and valleys.
06
+
Monthly Attention Report
Each month, a written list of the areas your daycare needs to act on.
No call, no meeting. A written, prioritized report delivered every month: budget variances, expenses going off track, missed subsidy opportunities, payroll issues, cash flow flags. You read it on your own time and act on it. Short, numbers-backed, actionable.
To Be Clear

We are not CPA auditors. We do not produce your Annual Financial Report (RFA). Our job: keep your books so clean all year that your auditor has nothing to fix. The audit usually finishes in half the time—and the cost drops accordingly.
