Business Services

Flexibility is an important aspect of Jane Lakatos Business Services. A wide range of services are available including bookkeeping, payroll services and management, data processing and tax preparation. We are equipped to make our office your off-site office.

The bookkeeping/accounting software used is either Simply Accounting or QuickBooks. Both are widely available and universally well known as solid, well tested and stable bookkeeping software packages.

Our services can be set up either on-site (at your office) or off-site (at ours).

On-site arrangement:

The work is done at your office using your computer system and accounting software. Appointments are arranged as much as possible to fit into your schedule.

Off-site arrangement:

You provide the necessary paperwork and we manage the data using our computer system and software. Paperwork will be returned to you when completed. Routine pickups and delivery schedules are arranged. Your files can be stored at our offices for each fiscal year.

Advantages to either method:

On-Site Advantages:

Data is input into your computer system at your business or home office. Your documents never leave your premises.
Bookkeeping work is scheduled to be done at a time convenient to you so we can discuss your business transactions if necessary.

Off-Site Advantages:

You furnish the necessary paperwork and the information will be input into our computer system. No requirement for you to own a computer or purchase accounting software.
In addition to the hard copies of your paperwork, we also provide you with back-up copies of your data in digital format. A copy is also kept at our office so that in case your files are damaged or lost, we have a back-up copy.
You don't need to own a computer to benefit from the advantages of computerized records.
If you later decide to purchase a computer, all your records can be transferred onto it.
You don't need to have additional office space. Mail can be addressed to our address making a fully functional off-site office.

In either set up, you will be provided with regular summary reports. You can also receive management reports and be reminded of upcoming remittance deadlines, ie, payroll , GST, PST and corporate tax deadlines.

Be assured that your financial information will be kept strictly confidential. The security of your business records is important us. They will be maintained accurately and confidentially!
