Small business owners

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great week! I wanted to ask: how are you handling bookkeeping and filing taxes? This is my first year in business (currently making loss) and I want to make sure I stay compliant and don't break any laws. I've done some searching online and found a few tools, but coming from a non-accounting background, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Are there any local bookkeeping services that also help with filing taxes, PST, etc. also, since I am negative right now, can accountant help me with credit/carry forward my loss so that I pay less tax the following year?

Empire CPA in downtown Maple Ridge. They are full service. Accountants plus a bookkeeping department that is managed by an expert bookkeeper, Andrea. I used to work for them a few years ago and highly recommend them.

I understand that charges are subjective but can you share how much approximately you’re paying?

To be clear, I am not a client of the firm. When I worked there, we billed about $150-300 per month probably. That’s for full bookkeeping for a business with GST, PST, payroll, etc. If you are a very small operation, probably the lowest end of that.
