We make that easy!  If you’re like most contractors, you’ve come up with a system that helps you manage your books.   It works, but it may not be perfect and probably requires a lot of your time. Craft & Clerk has an onboarding process that we can typically complete within five working days. Our Transition Team will work with you to collect the information we need, with plenty of time and opportunity for you to ask questions and make specific requests.  By the time your services begin, you’ll feel comfortable and confident that Craft & Clerk is the right solution for you.

Absolutely!  While we have a wealth of advice, tips, and techniques for operating your contracting business, you are not obligated to take our advice and we don’t consider ourselves consultants.  Your business is yours! We stick to what we do best: bookkeeping, payroll, and office management.

Craft & Clerk provides bookkeeping and payroll services, but you will still need a CPA to assist you with reconciling, filing your tax return, and providing financial advice. Craft & Clerk will work for you behind the scenes throughout the year to help eliminate or simplify much of the work your CPA typically does at the end of the financial year in preparing your returns.

Not at all. No matter what form your contracting business is now, we are happy to help. Whether you are a sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or some other form, you are under no obligation to change your entity structure to subscribe with us.

You bet. You don’t need to have employees to subscribe.  Many of our clients are small contractors who work on their own and have no desire to add any crew members into the mix. Others work with various sized crews throughout the years. It’s all adaptable.

Absolutely! While our headquarters is in Ontario, we are happy to take on clients located anywhere around the country. We can tailor all of our materials based on the labour laws and provincial requirements applicable to you. 

Are you located beyond the Canadian border? Shoot us a message, and we’ll be happy to look into how we can make our system work for you.

We find that our best contractor clients possess four key attributes.

1. They own their own business.
2. They are working to build a profitable company.
3. They have goals for their company’s growth and income.
4. They are comfortable with the most basic technology like smart phones and email.

We’re happy to offer a free consultation to any company considering our services! Your peace of mind is our top priority.

At Craft & Clerk, we pride ourselves on being a reliable member of the contracting community.  As a company, we were designed by contractors and to handle the specific needs associated with operating a small contracting business. With decades of combined experience in both office management and the trades, your in good hands. We’ll handle your administrative duties with discretion, skill, and the utmost attention to detail, keeping an open line of communication with you at all times.

We maintain your back office tasks with just TWO pieces of software that we require you to subscribe to. These are: Quickbooks Online (+ Payroll), and TSheets. Subscriptions to these services are your responsibility to establish and maintain.

We have three tiers of service to suit your needs. Check out our PRICING page for more details. Even our PLATINUM plan comes at a cost less than hiring a part-time assistant.

You can start a subscription with us at any time, and we aim to have our new clients up and running with us within 5 business days. Establishing payroll and direct deposit typically takes two pay cycles once we have all of the required information.

We call this our “Onboarding Phase.”

Nobody likes hidden fees, which is why we want to be upfront about the fact that your first monthly bill will include a $350 onboarding fee. This is a one-time cost that covers everything that it takes to get you set up in the Craft & Clerk system. We create your custom documents, gather and input all of your employees’ details, and start sweeping up your books.

Your service (and our work on your behalf) begins on the day you sign your service agreement.  You’ll be billed on the same day of the month you joined, and monthly thereafter.

Never!  All Craft & Clerk service programs are month-to-month, and you can cancel at any time.  We believe in earning your trust and appreciation every month, and we work hard to make sure that we do so for all our clients.
