Service Overview: 
Cloud Accounting: AMLB takes the stress out of managing clients' day-to-day finances by providing a comprehensive cloud bookkeeping solution. From a digitized receipt capture solution to maintaining up-to-date financial records, we handle the clients' bookkeeping tasks efficiently and accurately. We also simplify accounts receivable and payable workflows by setting up and managing user-friendly AP/AR systems through tools like Plooto and Stripe to deliver a seamless, cloud-based solution for managing all incoming and outgoing payments.
Tax Planning & Preparation: AMLB offers comprehensive tax support, including the preparation and filing of T2 corporate tax returns, GST/HST filings, financial statement management, and strategic tax planning. AMLB also provides T1 tax filing for owner-managers and audit support for CRA reviews, ensuring peace of mind and compliance throughout the year.
Payroll: AMLB’s cloud-based payroll solutions enable clients to securely process payroll anytime, from anywhere. With WagePoint at the core, we manage direct deposits, T4 slips, tax remittances, and real-time updates, while leveraging collaborative tools to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and insight-driven payroll management.
CFO Advisory: Through virtual CFO services, AMLB delivers strategic financial guidance tailored to the needs of growing businesses. Our advisory offering includes financial modeling, deep dives into profit and margin leakage, audit committee and board reporting, cash flow and forecast analysis, and key performance indicator (KPI) development—all at a fraction of the cost of an in-house CFO.
Not-for-Profit Services: AMLB provides end-to-end financial compliance and advisory for not-for-profit organizations, including preparation and electronic filing of T3010 Registered Charity Returns, funder reporting, and support with government rebate programs such as HST, property tax, and public service body rebates.
Technology Enablement: AMLB stands out through its industry-leading use of cloud-first tools to automate, document, and streamline client services—leveraging platforms like Karbon for workflow management, SweetProcess and Loom for process documentation, Dext Prepare for receipt capture, QBO/Xero for accounting, WagePoint for payroll, Plooto for payments, and Microsoft SharePoint and Teams for seamless collaboration.
