QuickBooks Software Services

Far Beyond Bookkeeping has developed specialized QuickBooks expertise across diverse Canadian industries, enabling us to provide industry-specific QuickBooks configurations that address unique accounting challenges, compliance requirements, and operational characteristics. Our team understands that retail businesses require different QuickBooks setups than professional services firms, construction contractors need distinct job costing configurations, and e-commerce operations demand specialized sales channel tracking.

Retail and E-Commerce: Our QuickBooks retail expertise includes Shopify, WooCommerce, and Amazon integration for automatic sales data capture, multi-channel sales tracking consolidating online and in-store transactions, inventory accounting with cost of goods sold calculation across multiple sales channels, payment processor reconciliation (Shopify Payments, Stripe, Square, PayPal), and sales tax management for different product categories and provinces. We configure QuickBooks to automatically import sales from all e-commerce platforms, track inventory levels in real-time across channels, and generate consolidated sales and profitability reports showing performance by channel, product category, and geographic region.

Professional Services: Law firms, consulting agencies, design studios, and other professional services benefit from our QuickBooks expertise in project-based accounting, time tracking integration (TSheets, Harvest, Clockwise), trust account setup for law firms complying with Law Society requirements, and client billing workflows including progress billing and retainage management. We configure QuickBooks to track project profitability by comparing time invested, costs incurred, and fees billed, manage unbilled time and work-in-progress for accurate revenue recognition, and generate reports showing revenue by project, client, and service type—critical information for professional services businesses aiming to optimize client mix and pricing strategies.

Construction and Trades: Construction contractors, renovation companies, and trades businesses rely on our QuickBooks industry expertise for job costing setup that tracks labor, materials, subcontractor costs, and equipment usage by project, project-based accounting for progress billing and retainage management, subcontractor payment tracking with proper CRA slip reporting, WSIB and payroll remittance tracking, and change order management that adjusts project budgets and forecasts. We configure QuickBooks to track costs and revenue by job or project code, calculate work-in-progress for accurate percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, manage subcontractor certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance, and generate project profitability reports helping contractors understand which jobs are most profitable and identify areas for cost control or pricing adjustment.

Manufacturing and Wholesale: Manufacturing businesses rely on our QuickBooks expertise for inventory accounting with raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods tracking, production cost tracking including direct labor, direct materials, and manufacturing overhead allocation, equipment depreciation and capital cost allowance optimization, and multi-location inventory management across warehouses or distribution centers. We set up QuickBooks to accurately calculate cost of goods sold, track inventory valuation methods (FIFO, average cost) appropriate for your business, and generate reports showing production efficiency, product profitability by SKU, and inventory turnover rates supporting better purchasing and production planning decisions.

Restaurants, Healthcare, Technology, Non-Profits: Beyond these core industries, we provide specialized QuickBooks configurations for restaurants and hospitality businesses (daily sales reconciliation, tip income reporting, food cost analysis, liquor cost tracking), healthcare practices (OHIP billing integration, patient trust fund management, medical expense tracking for HST claims), technology startups (SaaS revenue recognition, equity and cap table management, R&D tax credit eligibility tracking), and non-profit organizations (fund accounting with restricted and unrestricted fund tracking, donation management and receipting, grant reporting and compliance). Our breadth of industry QuickBooks experience ensures we can configure QuickBooks to meet the specific requirements of virtually any Canadian business sector.
