Your books,
handled, so you
can breathe easy.

Running a small business is stressful enough. I take bookkeeping completely off your plate so you can focus on what you actually love doing.

Most small business owners didn't start their business to spend evenings on spreadsheets. That's where I come in.

About Hirabooks

A bookkeeper who actually gets it

I started Hirabooks because I kept seeing the same thing: small business owners drowning in paperwork, missing deadlines, and spending their evenings on spreadsheets instead of with their families.

Bookkeeping shouldn't feel like a punishment. When your books are clean and organized, you make better decisions, stress less at tax time, and actually understand where your money is going.

That's what I do for my clients. I take the chaos out of your finances and replace it with clarity, so you can run your business with confidence.

I'm a QuickBooks Online Advanced Certified ProAdvisor with 8+ years of bookkeeping and accounting experience, mostly in engineering and professional services firms. I've also served as treasurer of a non-profit daycare for nine years. I'm also currently working toward my CPA designation.

Intuit QuickBooks Certified Advanced QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor badge

Based in Toronto, I'm remote by default, so I work with small business owners across Canada, and I'm happy to meet in person around the Toronto area when it helps. No complicated onboarding, no jargon, no surprises on your invoice.

FAQ

Questions I hear all the time

Not at all. I work with clients across Canada, mostly remotely. All we need is a reliable internet connection and a secure way to share documents. If you're in the Toronto area and prefer to meet face to face, I'm happy to do that when it's needed.
That's one of the most common reasons people reach out, so don't be embarrassed. Cleaning up disorganized books is something I do regularly. We'll figure out where things stand together and get everything sorted.
QuickBooks Online is my home base, and I'm a QuickBooks Online Advanced Certified ProAdvisor. I've also worked with Sage, Unanet, BillQuick, and payroll systems such as ADP, Dayforce Powerpay, and Wagepoint. If you already use one of these, I'll work within it. If you're starting fresh, I'll recommend the best option for your business size and budget.
Not yet. I'm a bookkeeper with 8+ years of experience, and I'm currently working toward my CPA designation. Bookkeepers handle the day-to-day recording and organization of finances. I work alongside your accountant and can help you find one if needed.
Securely and simply. I use encrypted file sharing tools so you never need to email sensitive files. I'll walk you through the exact process during onboarding. It's easier than you think.
Yes. There are no long-term contracts. I work month-to-month because I believe the work should speak for itself. If you ever need to pause or stop, just let me know with reasonable notice and we'll wrap things up properly.
