A simple decision can completely turn things around for a business
A couple in Collingwood, Ontario, ran a thriving business in SEO, digital marketing, and website development. However, they had a pretty big problem on their hands - their accounting was a mess. We're talking about significant errors in their financial records. That's where Stelex Solutions stepped in. We were hired in January 2022 for catchup/cleanup bookkeeping and cloud migration services. And boy, did we uncover some startling truths.
Over the past two and a half years, key issues included:
Total assets overstated by 89%
Can you imagine? They practically doubled what they thought they were worth. It's like thinking you have two cakes when you only have one - not great if you're planning a big party.
Total liabilities overstated by 470%
This is like saying you owe five times more than you actually do. This kind of error could have been disastrous, making it tough for them to get loans or invest in the future.
Total equity overstated by 58%
This might not sound as dramatic, but it's still a big deal. It's like believing you own more of your house than you actually do. This could have led to some really poor decisions about how to distribute profits or reinvest in their business.
Now, imagine if they hadn't fixed these mistakes. CRA would have had a field day! They would have ended up paying taxes on profits they never even made!
We didn't just correct these mistakes, we saved their business from potential financial ruin. By getting their accounts in order, this couple can now make informed decisions and grow on a solid foundation of financial integrity. It's a classic case of a small step leading to a giant leap for business health. It's amazing what getting the numbers right can do.
Even experts need a helping hand sometimes, right?
A savvy social media content creator from Port Coquitlam, BC, who is a whiz at building Podia websites, realized her financial records were a bit of a puzzle. So, in July 2021, she reached out to Stelex Solutions for catchup/cleanup bookkeeping and cloud setup support.
Now, we didn't just tidy up her books; we unearthed some real eye-openers over one and a half years. This included:
Total assets understated by 41%
This is like finding out you've got way more in your piggy bank than you thought - a game-changer for understanding the true value of her business.
Total equity overstated by 24%
That's like thinking you own more of the pie than you actually do! It was painting a rosy but unrealistic picture of her stake in the business.
Income understated by 4%
In the business world, that's like not realizing how well you're actually doing. It's crucial for gauging the business's real profitability and growth potential.
Imagine if we hadn't fixed these issues. Her personal taxes would have been all over the place, and she would have missed out on precious tax benefits. And the financial reporting? Total chaos. Loan officers, banks, anyone looking at her books would have gotten the wrong idea. It's like trying to paint a masterpiece with the wrong colors.
Thankfully, we stepped in just in time. We didn't just adjust a few numbers; we set her financial story straight. This wasn't just about getting the math right. It was about painting a true picture of her business's health, making sure she was tax-compliant, and giving her the clarity to make smart decisions. It really highlights how crucial professional bookkeeping is, especially when you're juggling a busy digital business.

They did a smart thing: they brought in Stelex Solutions
Let's talk about this power couple from Toronto, real trailblazers in the mobile app world for health and wellness. They hit a snag, though, with their financials - a real head-scratcher. So, in August 2021, they hired Stelex Solutions for some serious bookkeeping rehab and to get their heads in the cloud, so to speak.
Here's the scoop: we did a deep dive into their books and, oh boy, did we find some doozies! Over a period of just over two years:
Total assets understated by 73%
Imagine thinking you have less in the bank than you actually do - it's basically like finding hidden treasure in your own backyard! This staggering error seriously undervalued their resources and growth potential.
Cost of Goods Sold overstated by 82%
That's like thinking you spent way more on groceries than you actually did. This made their profitability look much lower than it should have.
Total liabilities understated by 126%
This is like underestimating how much you owe on your credit card - a risky business for sure!
Let's take a moment and think about the consequences if they had just shrugged off these mistakes. Their corporate tax prep would have been a nightmare, potentially leading to penalties for underpaying taxes. Not to mention, their financial reporting would have been way off. This could lead to some pretty poor decisions and shake the confidence of any investors and lenders.
Thankfully, we came to the rescue. We didn't just tweak a few numbers; we turned the whole ship around. This meant the couple's financial statements finally painted an accurate picture of their business. We're talking tax compliance, restored financial integrity, and data you can really trust to make smart decisions. This is a prime example of why spot-on bookkeeping and transparency are non-negotiable, especially in the competitive health and wellness industry. It's a game-changer for any growing business. It just goes to show, knowing your true financial health is like having a map to treasure. And in business, that treasure is growth and stability.
We didn't just give their books a once-over; we really dug deep
Let's chat about this app development company in Calgary. They're real tech wizards, but even wizards need a little help sometimes, especially with their finances. So, in July 2021, their CFO decided to call in the cavalry: Stelex Solutions. They had some serious bookkeeping challenges and wanted to straighten out their financial house once and for all, so they hired us for some catchup/cleanup bookkeeping.
Over a span of two months:
Total liabilities understated by 1,059%
This was mind-blowing! That's like thinking you owe the price of a coffee when you really owe the price of a whole coffee shop. It completely threw off their understanding of the company's financial obligations.
Expenses overstated by 21%
This is like thinking you spent more on your shopping spree than you actually did. This is the kind of mistake we see a lot, and it can really mess up an entire budget and financial planning.
Come tax time, they would have been in hot water. Overstating expenses means you're reporting less income than you actually have, which could lead to some serious issues with the CRA. And underreporting liabilities? That's like wearing rose-colored glasses when looking at your debts. It could lead to risky business decisions and a loss of credibility with investors and lenders.
Thankfully, we stepped in. We didn't just fix a few numbers; we brought the whole financial picture back into focus. This meant the company could prepare their taxes accurately and make decisions based on real, reliable data. It's a classic case of how essential accurate bookkeeping is, especially for a growing tech company. It's about governance, risk management, and keeping everyone's trust. It just goes to show, in the world of business, the right numbers aren't just numbers - they're truly your roadmap to success.

They called in for some bookkeeping wizardry
An entrepreneurial couple in Toronto is really shaking things up in the health and wellness app scene. But here's the twist: they hit a major snag with their financial reporting. In August 2021, they realized they needed some serious help and called in Stelex Solutions for some catchup/cleanup bookkeeping and cloud migration assistance.
We rolled up our sleeves and, boy, did we find some big oopsies in the books! Over a little more than two years:
Total assets overstated by 72%
That's like thinking your piggy bank is way heavier than it actually is, giving everyone a bloated idea of how much the company is worth.
Total equity overstated by 45%
That's like thinking you own more of the cake than you really do, which could really mess with how you slice it for investment and profits.
Cost of Goods Sold understated by 100%
It's like they forgot to account for the cost of making their service at all, throwing their profit calculations totally out of whack.
If they just shrugged and did nothing, tax time would have been a nightmare. Overstating income and assets means you might pay more taxes than you should. Understating expenses? That could get you in hot water with the CRA for underpaying taxes.
We didn't just tweak a few numbers here and there; we turned the whole financial story around. This meant the couple could finally see their business for what it really is, ensuring they're spot on with taxes and making decisions based on the real deal.

They had an "aha" moment: their finances needed a makeover, big time
Let's talk about this top-notch Italian hatmaker in Vancouver, BC. In September 2021, he brought in Stelex Solutions for some bookkeeping magic and a tech upgrade with cloud setup.
Of course, we then went full detective mode in his company's books. Over two and a half years:
Cost of Goods Sold understated by 55%
That's like thinking you spent way less on making those stylish hats than you actually did. This seriously made his profits look way bigger than they were.
Total equity understated by 18%
This is like underestimating how much of the hat shop you actually own!
Total liabilities understated by 10%
This is like thinking you owe less on your credit card than you actually do, which could really trip up your debt management and cash flow planning.
If these mistakes weren't corrected, the company's tax prep would have been all kinds of wrong, potentially leading to legal headaches for underpaying taxes. And making decisions based on these numbers? It's like planning a road trip with a map that's missing a few roads - not the best idea.
After we fixed a few numbers, we were able to bring the whole financial picture back into focus. This meant the hatmaker could make smart decisions based on accurate data. It's a perfect example of how critical precise bookkeeping is for a small business. It's not just about crunching numbers - it's about steering your business in the right direction, with confidence and clarity. Now, this hatmaker is all set for smooth sailing (or should we say, smooth hat-making?) into a future of growth and stability.
They hit a roadblock: their finances were in need of some serious TLC

Definitely like putting on rose-colored glasses!

This painted a picture of their company spending more than it actually was, totally skewing the view of their financial efficiency.
Now, if they had just ignored these blunders, tax time would have been an absolute nightmare. Misreporting income, expenses, and costs could have meant facing penalties and several tax troubles.
Our intervention wasn't just a quick fix; it was a game changer. By correcting these errors, we made sure the financial reports were as real as it gets. This wasn't just about staying on the right side of the CRA. It was about restoring trust in their financial data, crucial for making decisions that hit the mark.

Over a period of six years:
Total assets understated by 313%
It's like he was sitting on a gold mine without even knowing it, seriously undervaluing what he had to grow his business.
Income overstated by 81%

Total equity overstated by 3,720%
This was an unbelievable discovery. This is like thinking you own a mansion when you actually have a cozy cottage. Talk about a reality check!
