What We Do
What is a Virtual Bookkeeping Professional?
A Virtual Bookkeeping Professional who conducts his/her work online. These professionals provide the same responsibilities of traditional bookkeepers except they are hired by a customer or client to do the work remotely.
Value Based VS Hourly Based Pricing?
At Nova Ridge Bookkeeping; we use Value Based Pricing. This means, having a fixed price for the project VS charging you an hourly rate.
The traditional way of pricing in the Bookkeeping industry does not give certainty. Pricing based on how long the work will take aka: hourly based pricing, means you don’t know the final bill until the work is completed and you receive your invoice. Hourly based pricing does not ensure the service provider works in the most effective way, charging you an hourly rate until the work is complete.
With Value Based pricing, you’ll be pleased to know we’re working on your file in a time & cost effective manner. Resulting in quicker turnaround time, as we’re always striving to enhance our skills to provide accuracy for you. Likewise, you’ll be receiving consistent monthly invoices; easier for budgeting & managing your expenses.

Testimonials
A quick note about the virtual side of her business. It is such a time saver. It doesn’t mean just emailing and texting back and forth. When we need to meet face to face, Holly schedules a virtual meeting, called zoom meeting, and we can sit down with each other and she can show me her computer screen or notes, and we can hammer out many different action items without having to leave our offices and going to meet somewhere. It is a very efficient use of time for a busy business owner.
In the time that I have been working with Holly, I have found her to be consistently knowledgeable, professional, cheerful and encouraging. I highly recommend Holly with Nova Ridge Bookkeeping. “

Resources to increase efficiency
Accounting Software
Quickbooks Online is a cloud based accounting software. Keeping your records in the cloud means you are able to access your information anytime, from anywhere. Email invoices to your clients directly from your phone, access financial reports with ease and manage expenses all at the touch of your finger tips.
QBO is an essential tool at Nova Ridge Bookkeeping, ensuring all of our clients are keeping current with their finances.
Payroll
Payroll doesn’t have to be complicated, especially with the help of Wagepoint. Wagepoint is a Canadian operated company that offers user friendly payroll services.
With Wagepoint, you never have to remember to submit source deductions, as they submit to the CRA automatically on your behalf. Payroll made Easy!!
Record Keeping
You must maintain all records and source documents for a period of 6 years from the end of your last tax year. Did you know, you don’t have to maintain these records in paper form; cluttering up shelves, closets and sometimes entire rooms in your office. You can maintain all these records electronically. Using Dext is also an easy & effective way to transfer source documents to your bookkeeper.
Time Tracker
Are you still using paper and pen to track your employees time? Well, welcome to the 21st century, there’s an app for that! Quickbooks Time is a user-friendly program, helping you save time to better manage your employee’s schedules and hours.
Track Mileage
This is a must-have app on your phone! If you do any type of travelling for your business and let’s face it most of us at least travel to the store to pick up office supplies, you need Driversnote. Driversnote tracks the date of your trip, the start & end location, total KM’s travelled, and the purpose of your trip. At tax time, simply create a mileage report and hand it over to your accounting professional, saving you money on your taxes.
Password Keeper
Are you tired of trying to remember 100’s of passwords just to realize you forgot your password once again, and have to use the dreaded ‘Forgot My Password’ link.
At Nova Ridge, we use an app called LastPass. With LastPass you never have to remember another password again. You can even securely share passwords with your team!
