About

You didn’t start a bookkeeping business.

We did, and we actually like it.

Give us your books and spend more time on the business you started.

Who we are

A small firm that does the work itself.

Solid Sums is a small bookkeeping firm working with small businesses. Between our team we’ve got decades of accounting experience.

We do bookkeeping, not tax. We keep your books accurate and your HST filed, and we hand your accountant a clean file at year-end. When something belongs with your accountant, we’ll say so.

The team

The people behind your books.
