Sample chat
Things owners ask us first.
Not on the list? Send us a message and we will answer it.
Ask on WhatsAppDo I need accounting software?
No. We recommend what fits the size and budget of your business. Many small shops start with a simple spreadsheet, and we can move you to cloud software when you are ready.
Can I send receipts on WhatsApp?
Yes. Photograph each receipt or invoice and send it to our WhatsApp number. We file it against the right month and tell you if anything is missing.
My books are months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. We start with a catch-up: sort the paperwork, rebuild the missing months and bring you up to date. Then we keep you there.
What does it cost?
It depends on how many transactions you have and what you need done. After a short chat we give you a fixed monthly price in writing.
Do you file my GCT and tax returns?
We prepare the figures and supporting schedules those returns are built from, and we walk you through filing with Tax Administration Jamaica.
Is my business information private?
Yes. Your records are used only to do your work and are kept confidential.
