About Us

We've Run Businesses, Not Just Kept the Books

Most bookkeepers have never run a business. We have.

We know which numbers actually matter to an owner at 2:00 AM, because we have sat in that chair.

Green Turtle was built out of 20+ years in the C-suite running multi-million-dollar operations, and we learned Canadian bookkeeping hands-on after seeing how badly weak books wreck good decisions.

So we don't just enter data. We hand you financials you can act on, in plain English, on time, every month.

Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping Service

If you have to chase your bookkeeper for updates, you do not have a bookkeeper. You have a liability. Green Turtle installs a monthly rhythm so your bank reconciliation, AP/AR, and clean financials arrive on time, every month. We speak owner-language, not accounting jargon, and reply within one business day.

We deliver financials you can actually use to make decisions. Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up work, bank reconciliation, and full AP/AR management.

Payroll

Payroll Service

Miss a CRA remittance deadline and the penalties land on you, not your bookkeeper. We run your entire payroll cycle so that never happens. $200 per payroll cycle covers processing, CRA remittances, T4/T4A preparation, ROEs, and WCB reporting.

Surrey alone holds 18,300+ licensed businesses with roughly 2,500 new ones registering every year, many in contractor and food-service sectors that carry heavy payroll, GST/PST, and WorkSafeBC obligations.

We handle the full compliance stack so you can focus on running the business, not filing forms.

Tax Preparation

Tax Preparation Service

When a Vancouver-headquartered bookkeeping platform shut down days before year-end 2024, thousands of small-business owners were left with unfinished books and no one to close out the year. That is the exact failure mode Green Turtle prevents. Your year-end package is built clean every month so nothing gets rushed at tax season.

We prepare and file your GST/HST, PST, and T2 corporate returns on schedule. Your CPA gets a clean handoff, not a mess. We keep your books audit-ready every month, not just at filing time. GST/HST filing, PST filing, T2 prep, CRA audit support, and year-end packages.

Accounting

Accounting Firm

You should not need to call your accountant to find out where your business stands. Every month you get a Profit and Loss statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow report in plain English, with notes explaining what the numbers mean for your decisions.

You get financials built for the person running the business, not the person filing the return. Full-cycle bookkeeping, financial statement prep, cash flow reporting, cloud setup, and software migration.

Across the Tri-Cities, roughly 14,747 business licences and a 1,300-member chamber signal a dense, growing owner-led economy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions?

  • You are not alone. Most of our clients came to us after a bad experience. A bookkeeper who ghosted them, made errors that triggered CRA penalties, or disappeared right before year-end. We start with a full audit of your existing books, reconcile everything, and install a clean monthly rhythm. You get a named CPB-certified bookkeeper from our team who responds within one business day. No more guessing, no more chasing.

  • Your books live in your own account, not a proprietary platform we control. Your financial history is always yours to see, export, and keep. If you ever leave, you walk away with everything, no ransom and no scramble to rebuild your records. Read how cloud bookkeeping keeps you in control of your data.

  • Our minimum package starts at $500 per month or $500 per quarter for smaller corporations. A typical full-cycle bookkeeping package runs around $1,000 per month and covers everything: bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, monthly financial statements, payroll, and tax compliance. We quote a fixed monthly fee upfront so you know exactly what you are paying.

  • Within one business day. Always. That is a rule, not a promise. We run on email so there is a written record of every decision, and when we deliver your monthly financials we include short notes explaining why the numbers look the way they do. You should never have to guess where things stand or wonder whether anyone is reading your message.

  • We work in Xero and QuickBooks Online, the two leading cloud platforms, and we recommend the right fit and handle the full migration and setup.

  • A bookkeeper keeps your day-to-day records straight: matching your books to the bank, payroll, invoicing, and monthly statements. A CPA usually handles higher-level tax strategy and audit work. We handle your day-to-day books and your T2 corporate filing in-house, and we hand your CPA a clean set of books for anything beyond that scope. In practice, that means fewer billable hours spent cleaning up your records before they can be filed.
