Testimonials

“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.”

Retail Store

“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.”

Mechanical Service Provider 

“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.”

Industrial Service Provider 

“In terms of general bookkeeping, Ms. Lakatos is experienced in all aspects concerning small to mid-sized business, including teaching modern computer programs such as Simply Accounting. In particular, Ms. Lakatos has had broad exposure to the start-up and expansion of this type of enterprise, including whether or not your business should be incorporated, the effects of inherent structures, … and your responsibilities for collecting and remitting various taxes and related financial reports.”

Retired Entrepreneur

“Having recently hired the services of Jane Lakatos Business Services I was impressed with her immediate ability to hone in on details that offer cost savings strategies. Jane’s knowledge of PST and GST rules is important to me as a retailer. Her attention to detail and reporting requirements leave me feeling assured that my reporting requirements and day to day financial activity are in good hands.”

Local Artisan/Retail Outlet 

“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.”

Area Museum 

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 !!
