CRA-Friendly Recordkeeping (Simple, Not Scary)

A few rules matter a lot:

The CRA generally requires businesses to keep records and supporting documents for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to.

If you charge GST/HST to registrants, invoices need specific information so customers can support input tax credit claims.

This is why we care about consistent documentation, not just “making the numbers match.”

Frequent Questions & Answers

How to find a bookkeeper near me
Start with fit and competence, not proximity:

Ask what industries they work with (consulting is its own beast)

Ask what you receive monthly (reports, reconciliations, HST/GST tracking)

Confirm they can keep documentation CRA-ready
