Trades & renovation
Contractors and renovation companies who want to know which jobs actually made money. Job costing, GST, supplier bills and receipts captured automatically.
Email-only bookkeeping ยท Alberta & Canada
From jobsite to front desk to wellsite: bookkeeping with a controller's eye.
For contractors and renovators, hotels, restaurants and lounges, and oilfield service companies. Thirty years in accounting, about fifteen as a hotel controller. Everything handled by email and a secure client portal, with no calls required.
Who I work with
Hotels, restaurants & lounges
Room revenue and booking-platform payouts, point-of-sale deposits and tips matched to the bank, food, liquor and supply inventory, and a real month-end close.
Oilfield services
Rig moving, power tong, hauling and trucking, and small field service contractors. Field tickets reconciled to invoices, well and unit costing, and producer-portal follow-up.
How it works: all by email, no calls
Send a short note
Email [email protected] with your business type, roughly how many transactions you have a month, which software you use, and whether you're behind. You'll get a reply within 1 business day.
Fill out the intake form
I'll send a secure link to a short online form (about 10 minutes): your accounts, software, GST status, payroll, how you track jobs, rooms, wells or truck units, and what's been bugging you about your books.
Get a fixed-price quote in writing
Within 2 business days you'll get a written scope and price. No hourly billing, and no surprises.
Sign and connect
Sign the engagement letter electronically, invite me to your software as an accountant or user (I never need your passwords), and upload statements to the secure client portal.
I get to work
Questions come in one organized email or portal checklist, not a steady trickle.
Monthly reports and a short summary
By email: what changed, what needs your attention, and anything to watch.
Software: QuickBooks Online (recommended for job costing and inventory), FreshBooks and Xero.
Hi, I'm Allison
I've spent 30 years in accounting, about 15 of them as the controller for several hospitality properties: month-end close, reconciliations and management reports. I've done bookkeeping for rig-moving and power tong companies, worked in renovation and hotel construction, and owned and ran my own store for five years.
You get bookkeeping done the way a controller would want it done, and every question and answer in writing.
Ready when you are, by email.
Send a few lines about your business and you'll get a reply within 1 business day.
