Who we serve · Arts & Culture

Clean books. Funder-ready reports. No CADAC scramble.

Box office, rentals, memberships, and season-driven cash flow, handled by a team that works with arts and culture organizations. Books current, reports on time, one flat monthly fee.

Sound familiar?

The parts of the job nobody warned you about.

You're not alone. Most arts organizations we meet are wrestling with the same three things.

01

Earned revenue gets messy

Box office, venue rentals, memberships, and concessions land through different systems that somehow all have to reconcile back to clean books.

02

CADAC reporting turns into a scramble

Funders need your numbers in CADAC's exact format, and pulling that together from scattered spreadsheets days before the deadline is nobody's idea of a good time.

03

Paying artists and crew gets complicated

Guest artists, performers, and casual crew all get paid differently. Some need a T4, some a T4A, some fall under union rate agreements. Getting the classification wrong isn't just messy, it's a CRA risk.

FAQ

The questions that usually come up before the first review.

01Can you handle artist and contractor payments?

Yes. We classify every guest artist, performer, and casual hire correctly as T4 or T4A, apply the right union rates, and keep records ready for year-end T4A issuance, with the exact process refined to fit how your organization already works.

02Can you reconcile ticketing, rentals, memberships, and donations?

Yes. We map each revenue source into the books, reconcile monthly, and keep earned revenue separate where your reporting or board package needs that view.

03Can you help with CADAC reporting?

Yes. We keep your books structured to match CADAC's categories throughout the year, so when reporting season comes around, the numbers are ready to pull, no scrambling through spreadsheets to reverse-engineer the format.

04Do we need to leave QuickBooks Online?

No. Your books stay in your own QuickBooks Online account. We work inside it, clean up the structure where needed, and keep you in full visibility.
