LedgerLogic CPA Team |
A Xero accountant does more than reconcile transactions. The right one configures your file so GST/HST comes out correct by default, automates the busywork with bank rules and Hubdoc, and turns clean books into filings and decisions. That is the standard we hold every engagement to, whether you are choosing Xero for the first time (start with our complete guide to Xero in Canada), switching from another platform, or replacing an accountant who never quite learned the software.
Everything a Xero Accountant Should Do for You
Six areas, one team, one fixed monthly fee. Take the parts you need.

Why a Certified Xero Partner CPA, Not a Generalist
Any accountant can log into Xero. Few configure it so the software does the heavy lifting.
Certified Xero Partner
Xero advisor certified, with partner-level support access and early visibility into platform changes that affect your books.
CPA, Not Just a Bookkeeper
Every engagement is overseen by a licensed Canadian CPA with 10+ years of CRA experience. The compliance layer is covered, not outsourced.
Automation-First Setup
Bank rules, Hubdoc, and repeating invoices configured so the routine work runs itself and your fixed fee buys review, not data entry.
One Team, Year-Round
Bookkeeping, GST/HST, payroll coordination, year-end, and corporate tax under one roof. No handoffs between three different firms.
A Xero Accountant for Every Province
Sales tax is provincial in Canada, and your Xero configuration has to match. We work remotely with businesses coast to coast.
Xero Accountant in Ontario
HST at 13%, WSIB, and EHT: we keep Ontario businesses compliant and their Xero files CRA-ready. Most of our client base operates in Ontario.
Xero Accountant in British Columbia
GST plus 7% PST means two registrations and two filings. We configure Xero tax rates correctly for BC sellers, including PST on software.
Xero Accountant in Alberta
GST-only keeps Alberta filings simpler, and we make the most of it: lean Xero setups and clean corporate year-ends for Alberta companies.
Everywhere Else in Canada
LedgerLogic is fully remote. Saskatchewan PST, Manitoba RST, Quebec QST, Atlantic HST: we serve every province and territory over video calls and shared Xero access.

Hiring a Xero accountant, answered.
The questions Canadian business owners ask us before handing over their Xero file. Something else on your mind?

It is not a legal requirement, but it matters in practice. A certified Xero partner has completed Xero advisor training, gets partner-level support directly from Xero, and knows the platform features that save you money, like bank rules, Hubdoc, and tracking categories. A generalist who rarely uses Xero will be slower and more error-prone in the same file.
Day to day: reconciling bank and credit card feeds, categorizing transactions, and keeping receipts attached. Monthly and quarterly: GST/HST and provincial sales tax filings, payroll coordination, and management reports. Annually: year-end working papers and corporate tax filings. A good Xero accountant also configures the file properly so most of this runs on automation.
Yes. You invite us as an advisor to your existing Xero file, we review the setup, fix coding errors, catch up any unreconciled periods, and take over from your previous bookkeeper or accountant. There is no need to start a new file or lose history.
Yes. LedgerLogic is a fully remote CPA firm serving every Canadian province and territory. We handle provincial tax differences including HST provinces, GST plus PST in BC and Saskatchewan, RST in Manitoba, and QST in Quebec.
Yes. We run a full migration service that transfers your chart of accounts, opening balances, contacts, and outstanding invoices and bills from QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 50, and most other platforms. Most migrations complete within 5 to 7 business days.
No. If you are not on Xero yet, we set up the subscription for you, and as a Xero partner we can apply a promotional discount of 80% off for your first 6 months. You always own your own Xero subscription and data.
A bookkeeper records transactions and reconciles accounts. A CPA-led Xero accountant does that plus the compliance and advisory layer: GST/HST filings, payroll remittances, year-end financial statements, corporate tax, and planning. With LedgerLogic you get both under one fixed monthly fee.
