YouTube pays USD around the 21st. Patreon pays a different day. Twitch pays by PayPal, wire, or cheque.

§ 01
What I solve

Multi-platform, multi-currency, all reconciled to CAD.

Stripe runs on a rolling delay, Shopify settles in CAD, Substack in USD, and sponsorship wires show up with no invoice attached. The CRA wants all of it reconciled in CAD on accrual, with GST/HST done correctly. It's one of the messiest setups in Canada, and the one most creators DIY.

I connect to Stripe, PayPal, Patreon, Substack, YouTube AdSense, Twitch, Kick, OnlyFans, Fansly, Whop, Gumroad, Teachable, Kajabi, Shopify, and the rest. Every USD, EUR, GBP or any other foreign currency deposit is booked at the Bank of Canada rate for the date earned, not the date it landed. Fees get categorized, FX gains and losses tracked, and your monthly P&L shows revenue by platform so you can see which stream is worth the effort and what your real income is after expenses.

GST/HST is where creators get caught, usually by assuming foreign income is automatically tax-free. It isn't. Once your worldwide taxable revenue passes $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters, you generally have to register. And that figure includes your zero-rated foreign income, so you cross the line sooner than you'd expect. Foreign-platform and non-resident income is often zero-rated, but not automatically, and CRA reassesses creators who get it wrong. Canadian sales are taxable. And some platforms collect the tax themselves while others leave it to you. I track and map this correctly so you're collecting what you should and remitting what you owe.

Content creator engagements usually land between $250 and $850 a month, fixed in writing after the diagnostic review. See how the pricing works →

What I handle

Specialized support.

Bookkeeping, admin, and the creator-platform details, handled in one place.

  • Monthly bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliation, adjusting entries, and management reports kept current.
  • Multi-platform payouts reconciled into one clear picture, no matter how many sources.
  • Ad revenue, subscriptions, tips, custom content sales, sponsorships, brand deals, and affiliate payouts tracked by source.
  • Multi-currency income booked at the Bank of Canada rate on the date earned, with FX gains and losses tracked cleanly.
  • Personal and business spend separated and categorized even when cards have been used for both. It's the thing CRA looks at closest in a creator audit.
  • GST/HST registration timing, treatment, and remittance handled, including the cross-border treatment for international audiences and sponsors.
  • Gear, software, home studio, business-use-of-vehicle, and creative assistant expenses categorized correctly.
  • Sponsorship deposits tracked against deliverables so you can see what's earned versus deferred until the post goes live.
  • Subcontractor payments to editors, managers, and assistants (T4A prep) handled.
  • U.S. platform tax forms (W-8BEN, 1042-S) organized and filled out if needed.
  • Admin support for subscriptions, creator tools, collaborator records, and routine back-office follow-up.
§ 03
What you gain

Platform control.

The day-to-day difference when platform income, fees, and expenses are reconciled properly.

  • A real answer to "how much did I make this year?"What your business earned after FX, fees, refunds, and chargebacks. Many creators can't answer that correctly until someone sits down and reconciles it.
  • USD, EUR, and GBP income booked cleanly.At the right rate on the right date, so your accountant isn't building it from scratch in April.
  • Tax season without the dashboard scramble.No exporting CSVs from six platforms before the deadline. The year is reconciled and CRA-ready before you'd think about it.
  • Clean lines between business and personal.Even if cards have been mixed from day one. If you can flag what's personal when it comes up, I handle the rest.
  • Visibility into what's actually carrying you.Brand deals, ad revenue, memberships, course sales. When each is tracked separately with its own expenses matched to it, you see what's worth doubling down on and what costs more than it earns.
  • Confidentiality built into the engagement.I don't discuss who my clients are, what platforms they're on, or what they earn. That includes your handle.
Tired of dashboard hopping at tax time? The diagnostic looks at how your platforms and currencies are tracked now, and where the leaks are.

What if my income comes from multiple platforms or sources?

That's something I handle regularly. Whether income comes from several platforms, currencies or payment methods, I pull it all together into one clear picture so you always know what you're earning and where it's coming from.

At what point do I need to register for GST/HST?

There are two tests and they carry different deadlines. If your worldwide taxable supplies pass $30,000 in a single calendar quarter, you stop being a small supplier on the sale that took you over, and you have 29 days from that day to register. If instead you pass $30,000 across the four preceding consecutive calendar quarters without breaching it in any one of them, you stay a small supplier for one further month and register from there. The four-quarter test always looks back at the preceding quarters. Zero-rated sales count toward both totals, and so do sales made by associated businesses. I track the running total and flag it before you cross, so it is never a surprise. Getting this wrong has real consequences, so it's worth knowing early.

Do you work with cash-based or high-volume small transaction businesses?

Yes. High transaction volumes, tip income, subscription payments, and cash-heavy operations are all manageable. The key is having a consistent process for capturing and categorizing everything. I'll set that up with you at the start.

Do you handle GST/HST remittances?

Yes, if filings are in your scope. I calculate what's owing, prepare the remittance and make sure filings go in on time. On a bookkeeping-only engagement I just keep your GST/HST position accurate month to month.

Can you help me figure out what expenses are deductible?

I can help you identify and categorize business expenses correctly throughout the year. Equipment, software, home office, travel, subscriptions, and other legitimate business costs all need to be tracked properly. I don't file your taxes, but your accountant will have organized records to maximize what you can claim.
