Bookkeeping for Markham businesses
Markham’s technology sector means many of our clients there bill in more than one currency and sell to customers outside Canada. That makes bookkeeping less about volume and more about getting the treatment right: which sales carry 13% HST, which services to non-residents may be zero-rated, how foreign-currency receipts are converted, and how staff time is tracked if you plan to claim SR&ED.
I’m Wajahat Ajmal, CPA, FCCA. T-Ledgers is a CPA-led accounting firm practising since 2020. We keep books for Markham clients in the cloud, by phone, video and email, so nobody has to cross the 401. If you’d like to meet, book a meeting at our Etobicoke or Mississauga office.
What we set up for Markham clients most often: multi-currency bank accounts and revaluation for software and IT firms, project time tracking that stands up to an SR&ED review (SR&ED claims are quoted after consultation), import and inventory tracking for retailers along Highway 7, and delivery-app payout reconciliation for restaurants.

Most offices and consultancies don’t need one; if you do, we record the renewal each year. | City of Markham business licence |

Monthly bookkeeping for a Markham business
An illustrative example (not a client story). A Markham software company on our Scale plan bills a US client in US dollars and three Ontario clients in Canadian dollars, and has four developers. Each month we reconcile both currencies, record the US sales as potentially zero-rated and the Ontario sales with 13% HST, run payroll entries, and keep developer time by project. At year-end the books already show which salaries relate to which projects, which is what an SR&ED claim needs.
For Markham tech companies we tag development payroll and contractor costs as you go, so an SR&ED claim is easier later, and record any grant from the Markham Small Business Centre correctly.
Import businesses along Highway 7 get every foreign-currency payment converted at the day’s rate, duty added to landed cost, and border GST/HST claimed as input tax credits. Startups get a monthly burn and runway report for investors.

Bookkeeping in Markham: FAQs
Can you keep books in US and Canadian dollars?
Yes. QuickBooks Online handles multiple currencies; we reconcile each account in its own currency and revalue balances at each close.
How much does bookkeeping cost in Markham?
From $350 a month (Growth, quarterly), $500 (Scale, monthly) or $700 (Ultimate), plus HST/GST. Foreign-currency accounts can make books complex, which we price in your fixed quote. SR&ED claims are quoted after consultation.
Do I charge HST to my US clients?
Many services supplied to non-residents can be zero-rated, while Ontario clients are normally charged 13% HST. We set up each customer correctly so the return comes out right.
Do you have an office in Markham?
No. We work with Markham clients online; in-person meetings are at our Etobicoke or Mississauga office, by appointment.
