Meet the bookkeeper

You’re hiring a person, not a firm.

Hi, I’m Franco. I started Moyano & Co. because trades business owners in Barrie deserved better than a generic bookkeeper who doesn’t know a T5018 from a holdback.

I keep my scope clear, document my work carefully and involve your CPA whenever a matter requires tax judgment or assurance. You work directly with me from onboarding through month-end.

Sound familiar?

If any of this sounds like you, we should talk.

Most trades business owners don't have a bookkeeping problem. They have a time problem. I take it off your plate.

Shoebox of receipts at tax time

Every year it's the same scramble. I get you organized year-round so tax season is just another Tuesday.

Not sure what the business actually made

You are busy and billing, but the bank balance does not explain the month. Clean monthly reports show revenue, expenses and profit.

Worried about HST records and filing dates

I maintain the bookkeeping records and prepare selected HST filings based on complete information and your approval.

Subcontractors, holdbacks & T5018 data

I organize subcontractor payments and basic holdback records, and Plus can include year-round T5018 data tracking where the records support it.

Books Assessment & Cleanup

Fix the past before monthly work begins.

When the file is behind, incomplete or unreliable, the first step is a $450 Books Assessment. The assessment identifies the periods, accounts, missing support and risks that need attention.

You then receive a separate written cleanup scope and fee. No cleanup work begins without your approval.

Why Moyano & Co.

I know the trades. I know the numbers.

Contractor books need careful records for subcontractors, holdbacks, payroll, HST and year-end handoff.

I Speak Trades

I build bookkeeping workflows around contractor records, including holdbacks, subcontractor payments, payroll and T5018 data where selected.

100% Cloud-Based

Cloud accounting tools keep your records accessible from the job site, truck or home. No drop-off appointments are needed.

Local to Barrie

I am based in Barrie and build the monthly workflow around Ontario contractor records and filing responsibilities.

How the engagement works

Clear scope. Clear responsibilities.

The signed agreement defines the services, client deadlines, report target and fees before recurring work begins.

Direct communication

You work directly with Franco. Core includes direct email support; Plus includes priority email and phone support and a quarterly financial review.

Target report date

Monthly reports are targeted for the date in your agreement, normally by the 15th, when complete records, active access, answers and approvals arrive by the agreed cutoff.

Month-to-month terms

Core and Plus continue month to month under a written agreement. Either party may end the engagement with 30 days' written notice, subject to the agreement terms.

The proposal and signed agreement are the source of truth for every client.

How it works

A simple, repeatable onboarding flow.

Start with a fit call, confirm whether an assessment is needed, then sign the correct agreement before work begins.

1

Get in touch

We discuss your business, approximate volume, software, payroll and office workflow. This is a fit call, not a detailed review of the accounting file.

2

Confirm the correct starting point

If the file is current and reliable, you receive a Core or Plus proposal. If it needs detailed review, you begin with the $450 Books Assessment and approve any cleanup separately.

3

I handle it every month

After the monthly agreement is signed and access is ready, I follow the same close process each month and deliver the reports and selected services in Schedule A.

Find the right starting point.

Book a free fit call to discuss the business and likely scope. Detailed file review begins only through a paid Books Assessment when needed.
