I believe it means putting your effort into the right things instead of just working longer or exhausting yourself.

It’s about:

* finding better systems
* using tools or shortcuts
* focusing on high-impact tasks
* avoiding wasted time and energy

For example:

Working harder:
Spending 12 hours manually organizing receipts.

Working smarter:
Using accounting software and automation so it takes 2 hours instead.

It doesn’t mean being lazy. It means being efficient, strategic, and intentional with your time and energy.

In business, it often looks like:

* delegating tasks
* automating repetitive work
* charging based on value, not hours
* setting boundaries
* focusing on profitable clients instead of saying yes to everyone

A lot of successful people still work very hard — they just try to make sure the effort actually moves the needle. Let’s talk about what smarter steps you can implement! Reach out when you are ready!

If I wasn’t a paperwork nerd, I’d probably be renovating homes full time.
Some of you might already know that about me!

So naturally… my home office is currently under construction. I am creating a new space for this new adventure with you! I need organization, a place for everything and a space that is welcoming for you, my clients!

I may organize financial chaos for a living, but apparently I also enjoy creating actual chaos with paint samples, flooring decisions, and half-built shelves.

Now I need to know — what’s ONE thing in your home office you absolutely can’t live without?
Let me know, you might just see it on your next visit at The Paper.work Muskoka office!

No - a receipt does not have to include HST for the expense itself to be deductible for income tax purposes.

BUT….for claiming an HST/GST input tax credit (ITC), the receipt does need to meet certain Canada Revenue Agency requirements.

For example:

* If no HST was charged, you can’t claim an HST credit.
* If HST was charged, the receipt should show:
* the vendor’s GST/HST number (for larger purchases)
* amount of HST paid or HST included
* date and vendor information

So:
YES - You may deduct the expense
NO - But you may not claim the HST back

Things people THINK they can write off with the CRA 😅

🚫 Their entire cottage
🚫 Their dog (“he guards the office”)
🚫 Starbucks 7x a day
🚫 A jet ski “for networking”
🚫 Every meal they’ve eaten since 2022
🚫 Netflix (“business research”)
🚫 Their full grocery bill
🚫 Designer sunglasses “for confidence”
🚫 A Mexico vacation with one work email sent
🚫 Concert tickets because “clients were there”
🚫 Their kid’s iPad “for the business”
🚫 A hot tub “for stress management”
🚫 Their wedding because they “met business contacts there” 😅

Actual business expenses 👇

✅ Office supplies
✅ Advertising & marketing
✅ Mileage for business use
✅ Business insurance
✅ Bookkeeping/Accounting fees
✅ Phone/internet (business portion)
✅ Software subscriptions
✅ Office expenses
✅ Legit business meals (sometimes 😉)

Just because you want to write it off…
doesn’t mean the CRA agrees 🧾

Your bookkeeper is not judging your business.
We’re judging the fact that you bought supplies at the gas station, lunch at Home Depot, and somehow called both “office expenses.”

Here’s what we really want you to know:

• Ignoring your numbers won’t make them better
• CRA deadlines don’t care that you were “busy”
• Your business can look successful and still be broke
• Mixing personal + business spending makes everything harder
• Sending receipts 2 days before year-end is a form of cardio for us

But also…

We genuinely want your business to grow.
We want you to pay less stress tax.
We want you to finally understand where your money is going.
And yes… we get weirdly excited when your books are organized.

A good bookkeeper isn’t just entering numbers.
We’re helping you make better business decisions before problems happen.

So if your books are a mess right now?
You are definitely not the only one.

Reach out before “I’ll deal with it later” turns into a full-blown cleanup project.

Trust takes time.
Whether it’s your hair, your business, or your finances.

Working closely with clients is about more than numbers—it’s about confidence and trust.
