Importance of Accounting System
Attention, business owners!
The accounting system has imperative importance for your business regardless of what you do. Even if you don’t rely on accounting it is still an essential tool in your business management process. Accounting enables you to look at your business through different lenses: how much the revenues are, what the profit is, how much to reserve, etc. So having an effective accounting system is very important for your business, regardless of what service you provide or product you sell.
We look at the accounting system as a process of continuous improvement. Your accounting is a pure reflection of your business. The accounting system has to be dynamic; it should evolve with your business as your services change and as the value you offer your clients change. These things change constantly. We recommend looking at your accounting system periodically and asking yourself – at this moment, does it reflect my business? If not, then it’s probably harming your business because it does not provide the information that reflects your business. We recommend to ask us what aspects of your accounting system should be updated or upgraded. It’s vital not only to implement a new accounting system but also to adapt it to your business functionality.
Feel free to contact us about any questions on selecting an accounting system for your business.

2019 was a milestone for both Community Volunteer Income Tax Program and Alexandre Comptabilité Spécialisé Ltée; the first one turned 30, and the second one was incorporated as sole proprietorship practice established in 2004 has grown to a recognizable community member.
For the first time in its history of the practice, Alexandre Comptabilité Spécialisé Ltée registered for, organized, recruited volunteers, and operated a free tax clinic for individuals living in Ottawa-Gatineau region.
As a result, many individuals remained eligible for various social assistance programs, such as education aid or social support, to name a few.
