About NEXObooks
Professional experience. Practical support.
NEXObooks is an Ontario-based business focused on bookkeeping, reporting, business support and tax work for small businesses.
Faisal, CPA, MBA
A finance professional who starts with the real work.
Faisal brings a professional accounting designation and business education to the everyday financial needs of business owners.
The approach is simple. First, understand the business and the records. Then build a reliable routine. From there, add reporting, planning or tax support where it creates value.
“Your books should tell you what happened, what needs attention, and what you can do next.”
What guides the work
Four operating principles
Accuracy before speed
Fast work is not useful if the records cannot be relied on.
Clarity before volume
A short, useful report is better than a long report no one uses.
Fit before scope
The engagement should match your systems, complexity and goals.
Plain answers
Questions and recommendations should be easy to understand and act on.
Let’s talk about your books and your next decision.
Start with a free consultation.
How it works
A clear start. A repeatable monthly rhythm.
We define the scope before work begins and keep open questions visible throughout the engagement.
Free consultation
We discuss your business, current records, deadlines, systems and what is not working.
Records review
We look at the starting point and identify access, clean-up and information needs.
Written scope
You receive a quote and engagement terms that define deliverables, responsibilities and timing.
Onboarding
We set up the document flow, access and monthly checklist, then begin the agreed work.
Your first call
What to bring
Do not wait until everything is organized. A simple overview is enough to start.
- ✓Your business type and main sources of income.
- ✓The accounting software or spreadsheets you currently use.
- ✓How far the books are up to date.
- ✓Upcoming tax, financing or reporting deadlines.
- ✓The questions you want the numbers to answer.
Ready to define the first step?
Tell us what is current, what is behind and what is urgent.
Transparent, quote-based pricing
A clear scope before the work begins.
We do not publish a fixed price that ignores the condition of your books or the support you need.
Monthly bookkeeping
Usually quoted as a recurring monthly fee after transaction volume, accounts, systems, complexity and reporting needs are reviewed.
Catch-up work
Quoted after the backlog, reconciliations, missing information and clean-up needs are assessed.
Projects and advisory
Quoted by project, agreed phase or hourly scope depending on the work and how clear the starting information is.
No surprise package claims. Your written quote will state the scope, deliverables, fee basis, assumptions and any work that is outside the engagement.
What affects the quote
Pricing reflects the work, not just the business size.
- ✓Number of bank, credit card, loan and payment accounts.
- ✓Monthly transaction volume and sales channels.
- ✓Payroll, inventory, foreign currency or project costing needs.
- ✓Condition of the existing records and amount of catch-up work.
- ✓Reporting depth, meeting frequency and turnaround expectations.
Get a quote based on your actual books.
A short consultation helps us understand the scope before pricing it.
Small business in Ontario
More obligations. Better reasons to stay organized.
Small businesses can face bookkeeping, GST/HST, payroll, income tax, corporate records and financing requests at the same time.
The finance routine
Keep the basics working together
Not every item applies to every business. The right setup depends on your legal structure, activities, accounts and filing obligations.
Records
Keep source documents, invoices, receipts, statements and reconciliations organized so the numbers can be supported.
Sales tax
Track taxable sales, collected GST/HST and eligible input tax credits where registration and filing apply.
Payroll
Maintain payroll records, remittance information and year-end slip support when you have employees.
Income tax
Keep the books ready for personal or corporate filings and review upcoming instalment or balance dates.
Cash flow
Separate profit from cash movement. Plan for tax, payroll, suppliers, debt and owner withdrawals.
Decisions
Use monthly reporting to watch margins, costs, receivables and other measures that fit your business.
Helpful official resources
Start with the source.
Rules and filing requirements can change. These official resources provide current account and professional information.
Build a finance routine that fits your business.
We can start with the records and work outward.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you begin.
Do you only provide bookkeeping?
No. Bookkeeping is the foundation, but reporting, analytics, business planning, proposal support and tax services can be added through an agreed scope.
Can you help if my books are behind?
Yes. Catch-up and clean-up work starts with an assessment. We then define the period, missing information, reconciliations and handover into an ongoing routine.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. NEXObooks is based in Milton and can support clients across the GTA and Ontario through agreed remote workflows.
Which accounting software do you use?
The software is selected after the business, current file and workflow are reviewed. We do not claim that one platform fits every business.
Do you offer fixed monthly prices?
Monthly bookkeeping may be quoted as a recurring fee, but only after volume, complexity, accounts, current records and reporting needs are reviewed.
Do you provide audit or assurance services?
No. NEXObooks does not provide audits, review engagements or other assurance services.
Can you deal with the CRA for my business?
CRA correspondence, information requests and account support may be included after authorization and scope are confirmed. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
What happens in the free consultation?
We discuss your business, current bookkeeping, systems, deadlines and goals. If there is a fit, the next step is a records review and written quote.
What should I send before the first call?
You do not need to send sensitive documents for the initial conversation. A simple overview of the business, current software, backlog and key deadlines is enough.
Book a free consultation
Tell us what you need help with.
A short first conversation is enough. Do not send banking details, tax documents or other sensitive records through this form.
