Year-end Preparation

At the end of every fiscal year your accountant will provide a list of information that is required for year end financial statement preparation.

I always advise my clients to have access to an electronic storage system to easily access all paperwork. Once this system is established, get into the habit of filing copies of receipts, invoices, payroll records, insurance, tax filings, etc. so it is easily referenced for future review.

Here is a brief list of paperwork required:

(there may be other paperwork not listed here):

Insurance paperwork

Payroll reports

Professional fee invoices

HST/GST/QST monthly filings

Property Tax Assessment

Loans / Mortgages

All bank / credit card statements

AR and AP Reports

All donation receipts

REMINDER:

Keeping your paperwork organized all year will assist with a smooth year-end process!
