En tant qu'entreprise québécoise, je suis fière de travailler avec des entrepreneurs partout dans la province qui mettent tout leur cœur dans leur travail au quotidien. Des entrepreneurs en construction et en mécanique aux professionnels du bien-être et aux entreprises familiales, il est inspirant de voir la passion et le dévouement qui font vivre notre économie locale.

Gérer une entreprise n'est pas toujours facile, mais les entrepreneurs québécois continuent de faire preuve de résilience, de créativité et de détermination année après année.

De la part de toute l'équipe de Tenue de Livres M&R, nous vous souhaitons une merveilleuse Fête nationale remplie de famille, d'amis et de moments de célébration.

Quick question for business owners:

If you disappeared from your business for two weeks, would someone be able to figure out:

- What you've been paid?
- What you owe?
- Which invoices are outstanding?
- Whether your GST/QST is up to date?

If the answer is "probably not," you're not alone.

One of the biggest signs a business is growing is when the owner realizes they can't keep everything in their head anymore.

Good bookkeeping isn't just about taxes, it's about creating systems that allow your business to run smoothly, even when life gets busy.

How organized would your business be if you took a two-week vacation tomorrow? 🤔

A lot of business owners think they'll deal with bookkeeping "later."

Until one day, "later" becomes a problem. ⚜

Staying organized isn't just about taxes.

It's about knowing:

• What you owe
• What you're earning
• Where your money is going

A few minutes each month can prevent a lot of stress later on.

Future-you will thank present-you.

Business owners:

Did you know that working from home could mean you're missing out on legitimate business deductions?

Many entrepreneurs are surprised to learn that a portion of certain home expenses may be deductible when part of the home is used for business purposes.

The challenge isn't knowing that the deduction exists.

It's knowing what qualifies.

Do you work from home?

Many business owners handle their own bookkeeping to save money.

But here's the question:

How many hours are you spending each month trying to categorize transactions, find receipts, and figure out GST/QST?

Your time has value.

Sometimes the most expensive bookkeeping is the bookkeeping you do yourself.

What's one business task you'd happily never do again?

Your bank account is lying to you.

Okay, maybe not lying.

But it isn't telling you the whole story.

A healthy bank balance doesn't necessarily mean your business is profitable. And a low bank balance doesn't always mean your business is struggling.

Your bank account can't tell you:

• How much profit you earned
• What taxes you owe
• Which clients are profitable
• How much you're spending by expense type
• Whether your business is actually growing

That's what accurate bookkeeping is for.

The most successful business owners don't make decisions based solely on their bank balance, they make decisions based on financial data.

When was the last time you reviewed your Income Statement?

06/12/2026

Many business owners didn't start their business just to earn an income.

They started it to create opportunities.

To spend more time with their family.

To provide stability.

To save for their children's education.

To create a LEGACY for their kids.

The long days, the difficult decisions, and the risks we take as entrepreneurs are often about something much bigger than ourselves.

That's why understanding your finances matters.

When you know where your business stands financially, you can make informed decisions that support not only your business goals, but your family's future as well.

Because at the end of the day, bookkeeping isn't just about numbers.

It's about helping business owners build the future they're working so hard to create.

What is one thing you're building for your children or family through your business?

Most business owners can tell you what's in their bank account.

Far fewer can tell you how much profit they earned last month.

The two are not the same.

A healthy bank balance doesn't always mean a profitable business.

And a profitable business can still experience cash flow challenges.

Knowing your profit helps you:

✅ Make better pricing decisions

✅ Prepare for taxes

✅ Plan for growth

✅ Understand the true performance of your business

If someone asked you right now how much profit your business made last month, would you know the answer?

Many entrepreneurs believe they need a CPA to handle every aspect of their finances.

The reality is that most businesses benefit from having both a bookkeeper and a CPA, each serving a different purpose.
A CPA is invaluable when it comes to:

✅ Incorporation advice
✅ Tax planning
✅ Corporate tax returns
✅ Financial strategy

A bookkeeper focuses on:
✅ Day-to-day financial organization
✅ Accurate record keeping
✅ GST/QST filings
✅ Payroll
✅ Monthly financial reporting
✅ Keeping your books current throughout the year

Think of it this way:
Your CPA helps you make important financial decisions and ensures compliance at year-end.

Your bookkeeper helps make sure the information those decisions are based on is accurate all year long.

At M&R Books, we believe good bookkeeping isn't just about keeping records. It's about providing business owners with clear, accurate financial information so they can make confident decisions as their business grows.

Do you currently work with a bookkeeper, a CPA, or both?
