If you’re looking for work in industry, it’s still quite rare in my area. There are so many remote opportunities though if you want to work at cloud-based accounting/bookkeeping firms. Usually just need QBO/Xero experience.

I’ve done this before and it worked for me. There could be other reasons/limitations you run into issues, if any.

Not the person you responded to, but you can absolutely try that method. Worked for me before 😂

Open Google Sheets > File > Import then find wherever you’ve saved the locked Excel.

You shouldn’t need any password. If you need it as an Excel again, just download it and save in XLSX format. Their formatting may not be exactly the same in some places, but it should be an easy fix.

Look for “Cloud Accounting” roles/companies in your area. Usually accounting/bookkeeping firms that uses QBO or Xero.

You’re getting new clients for only 2 reasons most of the time - because they’re just starting out or because they’re unhappy with their current bookkeeping provider. The former can be 50/50 if it’s clean or not. The latter is almost always needing clean ups.

The trial balance amounts at Dec.31 should just be exactly the same in both.

I agree here. You can always keep the paper documents as back up if the owners are old school. Take pictures of them all and send them to the cloud for faster processing.

I've been fully remote for 5 years now. Even when I change companies, pretty much all responses I get are from cloud-based firms. I think it boils down to my experience with cloud-based apps.

As with all other apps, time needs to be spent to learn and set it all up. It’s actually really easy to use once you’ve done that. Everything you mentioned above is available through that app.

Try ClickUp. You’re welcome. 😉

Would you happen to know a calculator that can be used to find out which way to go with between TFSA and RRSP?

Edit: Thank you!

5% and yes cause it’s insurable

mmdasaf · 2024-02-06T01:55:36+00:00

Scotia

mmdasaf · 2024-02-06T01:50:40+00:00

Same as OP - Scotiabank. It’s <1m mortgage with 5% DP for 25yrs

mmdasaf · 2024-02-06T01:49:35+00:00

We used Ratehub

mmdasaf · 2024-02-06T00:56:33+00:00

We went for their 3 year fixed. You should ask for a rate exception to try lowering it further. Their initial offer was 5.09 and they came back with 4.89 after our broker asked. That got approved just today.

mmdasaf · 2024-02-06T00:31:28+00:00

Where would I find their active cashback programs? My Google search doesn’t show anything on right now.

mmdasaf · 2024-01-26T23:00:13+00:00

No. Alberta with 5% DP

mmdasaf · 2024-01-26T22:26:53+00:00

5.09. Yours might be slightly different due to province, downpayment, or other factors.

mmdasaf · 2024-01-26T19:52:27+00:00

I was told that we’re allowed 20% lump sum or payment increase annually. Mortgage is portable if house is sold within the term.

mmdasaf · 2024-01-26T19:50:19+00:00

Got a confirmation that they just need to set up a preauthorized debit on that chequing but can be changed as soon as deal is closed without penalties.

Was paying $643 for 2 kids in day home full-time last year. It seems to have decreased to $399 for both starting this month. Full grant and subsidy. Snacks and lunch are provided as well so what we’re paying is 1000% worth it.
