Small businesses and property investors hire me when their books are behind, their AP/AR is a mess, and month-end has turned into a scramble instead of a formality. I fix the backlog, then build a system so it doesn't happen again. I'm a Chartered Accountant (ACA) who manages the books for a 60-unit residential portfolio across 29 properties, so every client gets real estate-level discipline. You may be behind on reconciliations, unsure which part of your business is actually profitable, or watching your bank balance disagree with your accounting software. That's the mess I clean up, along with the systems that keep it clean.
