BOOKS FIRST · FINANCIAL RECORDS & REPORTING SUPPORT

Clean Books First.
Strategy Comes After.

Fixed-fee financial record cleanup and reporting support for Calgary and Alberta businesses — the groundwork every Aperio engagement is built on.

Who This Is For

Reconciliations behind. Reports you don't trust. Tax season is a scramble.

Some businesses come to Aperio before a Clarity Call even makes sense — financial records are behind, reconciliations are incomplete, reporting is inconsistent, or management doesn't have confidence in the numbers. Books First helps organize and reconcile underlying financial records so management has more useful information for planning and decision-making and can work more effectively with its external accountant or tax adviser.

What's Included

  • Reconciliation support — bank, credit cards, and loans
  • Financial records catch-up and cleanup for businesses that have fallen behind
  • Project and work-in-progress reporting support for contractors
  • Financial information organized for management and your external accountant
  • Coordination with your existing bookkeeper, accountant, or tax adviser where appropriate
How It Works
  • 1 We review your current books and scope the cleanup needed
  • 2 We organize and reconcile the financial records needed to produce reliable management reporting
  • 3 Ongoing management reporting support helps keep information current and useful
