ADVERTORIAL: Books Accounting & Office Services can help reduce paperwork burden

February tends to be the time when people start thinking about their bookkeeping services, so it’s good to know there are experienced bookkeepers in Mapleton that can assist with personal, small business or agricultural bookkeeping requirements, such as Trisha Lee of Books Accounting & Office Services.

Lee found her passion for accounting early in life, in high school. She built on that passion by enrolling in and graduating from the Business Accounting Program at Fanshawe College in London in 2000. After working in the industry for 17 years, Lee decided to go out on her own, and launched Books Accounting & Office Services in 2012. Recognizing a gap in the industry, Lee knew that catering her services to small and medium size businesses would be the way to go, since smaller businesses quite often get overlooked because they don’t have the resources or finances of larger corporations. Lee prides herself on offering a customized approach for clients – one size does not fit all.

“It can be quite challenging for smaller business owners to maintain their books since, for the most part, their main focus is usually on growing their business,” notes Lee.

“Before they know it they are overwhelmed and the system they are using or lack thereof (think shoebox) is no longer working.”

For payroll, bank reconciliation, HST preparation and filing, Books Accounting & Office Services is the place to go.

Lee’s services also include: invoicing/billing, income tax preparation and filing (including previous years), plus she can create and maintain a customized office filing system.

“A lot of times,  I find many small business owners trying to do too much in the interest of saving money,” Lee points out, adding, “If you are not sure of what you are doing it can actually cost you money in the end.”

Another key aspect of Books Accounting & Office Services is complete mobility. Lee offers her services on-site or at her office, saving the client time. Books Accounting & Office Services will manage part or all of a client’s bookkeeping requirements in a friendly, professional manner.

Allowing business owners to concentrate on what they do best, rather than spending hours in an office trying to keep books up to date, is important and Lee is willing to assist in any way.

So maybe it’s time to put that shoe box away, clear that desk and let Books Accounting & Office Services do what they do best. Contact Trisha Lee at 519-500-6135 or
