Testimonials
Jane Lakatos has been working with Boston Pizza for the last 18 months. Her skills and knowledge of Simply Accounting have allowed us to tailor our reports to meet Boston Pizza reporting requirements. Jane was also instrumental in bringing payroll for a 40+ staff in-house, thus saving us time and allowing more effective cost allocations.

As a new and quickly growing company, we realized that we needed to hire a bookkeeper to maintain our reports and payroll. We hired Jane Lakatos Business Services on a monthly basis. Her skills with QuickBooks have given us the assurance to concentrate on our business. Jane's monthly maintenance ensures that all government reporting is done on time and all reconciliations are accurate. As we do not require a full-time bookkeeper the ability to contract this service is a definite cost advantage. When we have an inquiry or need to make a change to QuickBooks, Jane is very flexible in stopping in to assist us outside of her scheduled monthly appointments.

“I hired Jane Lakatos immediately after beginning a new mechanical piping installation business. Jane's experience with unions, payroll and government policies were our main reasons for selecting her services. Jane's knowledge of our business procedures have allowed us to run our (Whitby- based) business while all of our administrative needs run from her (Baltimore, Ontario) office.”

“Jane was brought in at a time when our company was growing and needed the services of a trained bookkeeper. Along with the day-to-day reporting requirements, Jane was also successful in solving a longstanding GST issue. Upon realizing that it was not our error, her knowledge of the GST rules and government contacts allowed us to successfully re-file all returns with no financial repercussions. As our business is growing Jane's knowledge of job costing has allowed us to better quote on jobs and meet our profit expectations.”

“The Whitby Historical Museum … needed an independent, outside source to perform our general bookkeeping duties. Jane's knowledge of QuickBooks and her ability to review our non-profit organization's activity have allowed us to better report our financial activities. Her suggestions of how to build our long term goals have been met with enthusiasm and Jane's ability to aid in administering these plans is instrumental.”

We hired Jane Lakatos in the Spring of 2006. Having purchased a Tea Room and Bed & Breakfast in 2003, we focused on running the business and the bookkeeping piled up.
Jane came into what seemed to us like a daunting task. However, Jane's ability to organize and show us efficient ways to capture and track expenses allowed us to work with her in the maintenance of our files. Her knowledge of tax rules and record keeping has been a definite asset.
Jane's contacts with local accountants have also allowed us to manage our business that is run as a partnership. She does not hesitate to seek the advice of accountants when she feels a second opinion is important. Jane's overall professionalism and organizational skills have been a definite asset to our business !!

“We brought Jane in … to overhaul our bookkeeping and administrative procedures. She trimmed a position from 30 hours a week to 18 hours a week. She was also effective in implementing a better-rounded A/R and A/P procedure based on the accounting software.”

Jane Lakatos has been a member of our team since we opened our clinic in early 2007. From the beginning, Jane set us on the right track.

As a small business owner, Jane’s attention to detail is invaluable, as it has alleviated the stresses associated with maintaining a financially organized clinic. Jane’s responsiveness to our concerns is timely and always appreciated. It is without hesitation that I recommend Jane as an asset to any business.
