The Scan and Upload Service system

This system will bring convenience to clients who have a multi-function printer with scan capabilities, or those who are willing to invest in one of the easy-to-use printers with document scanning capabilities, costing less than $500.00 which is a tax deductible expense.

If you are in this client group, you will be able to sign-up to submit your income, expense and other applicable business information by simply scanning the document and uploading it to BPM for bookkeeping processing, via our website using a secure user name and password issued by us.

Under this service system:

►  You would scan the documents you wish to send us each month

►  Save the scans as a pdf on your computer

►  On a monthly basis, login to your document scan-and-deliver folder and using the secure user name and password issued by us, Upload the scan documents (pdf) into the applicable month folder we created for your convenience at setup- it is that simple

This procedure will automatically allow us to access your documents, by month download them to our document management server and schedule the information for bookkeeping and tax processing.

Benefits:

You will no longer have to pack and send or deliver your business information to us.

You will be creating an image file of your original documents this way in the event of an audit, an exact duplicate of all your receipts will be available and can be easily sent to CRA.

You will save paper by not having to make copies of business information and documents you send us or plan to send.

You will save on postage.

This service system will look and feel like we are doing the required bookkeeping and tax reporting from your home office.

This way, as you come home each day or week, instead of placing your business documents in a file cabinet to be sent to us at a later date, simply turn on your scanner, scan the receipt or documents, save them to the file-folder you created on your computer.

To help make this process simple, at setup, we will create a master folder for your document uploads and twelve folders, one for each month to allow you to save the scans in the applicable folder month. (Jan, Feb Etc)

On your side, we recommend that you separate your documents into expense categories as shown below, write the expense description on all expense documents prior to scanning and as you scan the documents for each category, save and name the file based on the category.

The categories are:

Income

Business Operating Expense

Subcontractors expense

Bank Statements

Tax information/forms

Support Auto Expense

Home Office Expense (if working from home)

It is that simple to use the upload system to have us do your bookkeeping without having to send us the original source documents in paper form.

A Profit/Loss Statement

An Operating analysis report

A copy of any GST/HST return filed for the quarter, if applicable.

These reports will be sent to you by email. However, if you prefer, we will setup a set of monthly reports download folders to allow you to simply logon and download your financial reports at your convenience.

General Notes:
