How it works

Start clear. Stay supported.

A simple path from first contact to monthly financial clarity.

Step01

Connect your way

Take the fit quiz yourself or book a discovery call and we'll walk through it together. Either way, we get a clear picture of your business and needs upfront, so we only move forward if there's a genuine fit. Everything shared is confidential.

Step02

In-depth assessment

In the business assessment appointment that follows, we get a more nuanced idea of how the business runs, what is already in place and what you need going forward. From there, we build the scope and confirm we're a good fit for each other.

Step03

Onboarding

We send the service agreement, set up shared access, and get everything in place to start working with your business. Where needed, we also handle CRA authorization, remittance permissions and any other access your engagement requires. NDA available on request.

Step04

Ongoing engagement

The partnership begins and you get clean books, management reports and everything else delivered on a monthly basis. After each periodic review, you'll know exactly where your business stands. And if anything new comes up, book a new needs discussion and we'll take it from there.

Why FRS

What we are about.

I started FRS to build something of my own and to work closely with small businesses across industries. I like working with entrepreneurs and managers who care about the business they are building.

I've seen how often the back end gets messy. The books are off. Deadlines are missed. Admin piles up.

Not because people don't care, but because they're focused on growth and day-to-day operations.

That's the problem FRS is built to solve.

Plans

Transparent, fixed monthly pricing.

The level of support larger companies take for granted. Priced for the businesses that actually need it.

Most small businesses are stuck between software that leaves them on their own and full-service firms that charge enterprise rates.

FRS is the middle path. A real partner who understands your business, answers quickly and thinks ahead.

Bookkeeping, payroll, and back-office support for small businesses and solopreneurs across Canada. Clean books, management reports and a monthly summary of what's working and what needs attention.

Not at all. Bookkeeping is the foundation, but we go further: payroll, AP/AR, government filings, and the back-office admin around your team. One contact who handles it all, not a different person for every task.

Professionals and service providers, creators and digital earners, health and wellness practices, and founder-led companies of all kinds. If you're running a small business in Canada, chances are we're a good fit.

After the fit quiz and discussion, we put together a fixed monthly quote based on your business needs, work volume and the services needed. No hourly billing, no surprises.

Start with the fit quiz. It takes a few minutes and helps us understand your situation before we speak, so we can quickly determine whether we're a good fit for each other.
