Optimize25 Bookkeeping (formerly True Figure)
Behind on the books? It's fixable.
A backlog feels worse every month it sits, but the work itself is mechanical: statements in, months rebuilt, filings prepared. No lecture and no hourly meter: you get a flat written quote before anything starts, then a monthly service so it never piles up again.
Four weeks, four steps, done.
Timelines scale with how far behind you are, but the shape never changes.
Free review & quote
Send whatever you have. We scope the months, the volume and the filings owed, and quote the whole project flat, in writing.
Day 1Records in
Bank and card statements, POS and platform reports, payroll records. Missing some? We help you pull them from the bank and the platforms.
Week 1Months rebuilt
Every transaction coded, every account reconciled to the statement, month by month, until the books agree with the bank to the penny.
Weeks 2-3Filings & handoff
Overdue HST returns and payroll filings prepared, approved by you, submitted. Then the monthly service keeps you current, forever.
Week 4The backlog has a carrying cost.
Overdue returns accrue failure-to-file penalties plus interest at CRA prescribed rates, and both compound until you file. Every month of waiting is money, and the records get harder to reconstruct as bank portals age out statements and staff turn over.
If CRA hasn't asked yet, coming forward unprompted can sometimes qualify for penalty relief under the Voluntary Disclosures Program. We assess that before filing anything.
Read the calm catch-up plan →The questions everyone asks first.
We haven't found it yet. Three months, eighteen months, three years, the rebuild is the same process, just longer: statements, POS and platform reports, payroll records, reconstructed month by month until the books agree with the bank to the penny.
A flat quote in writing after a free review, priced by months behind and volume, never hourly. Light quarters run a few hundred dollars; multi-year rebuilds with filings run a few thousand. Either way you know the number before we start.
Late returns carry a failure-to-file penalty plus interest, and both grow until you file, so sooner always costs less. If CRA hasn't contacted you, the Voluntary Disclosures Program can sometimes provide penalty relief for coming forward unprompted; we assess that before filing anything.
You roll into the monthly service so the backlog never rebuilds. Both prices, the one-time catch-up and the monthly plan, are fixed in writing before any work starts.

The scariest step is the quote.
It's free, and it's just a number.
Whatever shape your records are in, you leave with a flat written price and a plan, whether or not you hire us.
