GCA was founded by Richard Nauth with one main goal in mind: to alleviate stress from small business owners by performing routine monthly bookkeeping as an extension of their company rather than being a number-cruncher behind the scene. We have had quite a number of clients who changed their bookkeepers or accounting firm to us, because of the neglect of services they provided. As a boutique bookkeeping firm, we have established a set of operating procedures that has been proven to work when performed monthly!
GCA performs high quality and boutique-styled bookkeeping and accounting services with emphasis on small and medium sized businesses eager to take their accounting to the next level. We will manage and take care of your bookkeeping and tax filing needs so you can focus on what really matters - your business!
We are certified, experienced and dedicated bookkeepers and small business accountants who have a diverse and extensive experience of various industries and have acquired a fundamental knowledge base to ensure our work is performed accurately, efficiently and on time. We routinely undergo training and networking to help us become familiar with new rules and changes to taxation, and new innovative methods in bookkeeping.
We have performed numerous CRA reviews, examinations and audits and understand how to work with the agency and help you avoid future reviews and collection calls, while minimizing your tax liability.
We also work with other accounting firms- as a team- to help support your best interest. If you have an accountant and require monthly bookkeeping services - we can be the "eyes and ears" of your company, while your accountant takes care of the year-end.
We specialize in monthly bookkeeping and small business accounting.
About the Founder: Richard Nauth
I am a well seasoned Accountant/Bookkeeper with extensive public accounting experience in various industries; currently serving clients across Canada and the United States.
I entered the industry, not by choice, in my early teens where I was asked to help take over the bookkeeping and create an accounting system for my father's company -while being trained exclusively by our company's external CGA.
I was thrown into the world of bookkeeping where the chart of accounts and account ledgers were actually balanced in literal books (with pages!) and GST/PST and source deductions were paper-filed to the Receiver General and Ministry of Finance. I created a working system in Excel to track income and expenses as well as company's balance sheet items, specifically a system to track and monitor A/R and A/P.
I discovered QuickBooks a couple years later and proudly taught myself how to perform full-cycle bookkeeping - admittedly with some errors and unreconciled ledgers at the time :). With help from our CGA and through my vast experience working with past employers and associated accounting firms, I was able to take bookkeeping and accounting to higher levels and can proudly say that I have served hundreds of clients and have performed dozens of CRA reviews/examination/audits. I have proudly taken a few CRA cases to arbitration by filing Notices of Objections, which is when some audits were assessed incorrectly by the agent assigned to the case, and have awarded these specific clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in refunds.
I continue to develop and strengthen my skills by working with amazing clients, staff and accounting firms. I am absolutely enthusiastic about my career path and look forward to the next stage of our company's growth.
Client Testimonials
"As a new small business owner, it was important to me to have quality partners to help me navigate the many questions I knew I would have along the way. I first went with a big, expensive accounting firm thinking the support would be better. Boy was I ever wrong. After a few months I switched all my business over to Richard who has proven to be so organized, patient, qualified, fast and reliable, but also a very kind person and I think we all could use a little more kindness in this crazy world. I am recommending Richard to anyone looking for a good accountant/bookkeeper. Working with him was a great decision and I am thankful for his continuous support. If you’re on this page to find out about his services, don’t bother looking elsewhere."

"We were months behind in our bookkeeping and GST/HST and GCA was hired to bring us up to date. Not only did they keep up with our monthly bookkeeping including providing paystubs and source deduction information, but they worked with our corporate accountant for our year-end, prepared and filed our employees T4s and T4As and helped explain our financial statements in detail. They are very experienced in their work and highly recommend them!"

" The service we have received from Richard and the GCA team has been second to none. There seems to be no request that is too much trouble for them. Fast turnarounds, accurate reporting, and always extremely pleasant and helpful. I feel like suddenly we have an entire accounting department at our fingertips and at a fraction of the cost! I don't know what we would do without them. "

" I have had the pleasure of working with GCA Services since inception and I would highly recommend their services to anyone. They are very professional, extremely punctual with dates and timelines and are overall lovely to work with. It is important to trust the folks that manage your finances and I know I can trust them completely. I am a sole proprietorship and need help managing my taxes in both USD and CAD and this is a non-issue for the GCA team. They send me notifications regularly so that I never fall behind with my personal and business taxes. I have already recommended GCA services to my friends and family who are looking for any financial assistance. Their turn around is very fast and their rates are affordable. I look forward to working with them for years to come. Big thanks to the GCA Team. "

“I have been using GCA Services for several months now and couldn't be more pleased with the quality of service and his attention to detail. Every item is properly categorized and accounted for. Tax rules are explained in clear communication so I can focus on my business and know exactly where I stand on any given week/month/year. Not having to think about how much HST I owe (as GCA files it), what my profit is, where my expenses are allows me to focus on my corporations next move without being burdened with paperwork. GCA always gets back to me quickly and finds answers and solutions to any questions I may have. My accountant was also very impressed (and he’s hard to impress) with the amount of detail and organization that Richard and GCA report and this will make my year end simple!
If you have years of “clean up”, just starting out, or are up to date but aren’t getting the service you deserve, please consider GCA…they make me feel like I’m their only client!”

“Richard Nauth of GCA Services had been our bookkeeper for our small non-charitable organization for years. He had come highly recommended and has proved this to be true over and over again. His reports back to me and has always been timely and efficient.
The thing I like most about GCA Services is the communication they offer in support of their service. Since I am a novice to the role of Treasurer, Richard has always personally answered all questions needed to understand the process. He has also gone beyond what we had at first agreed on and provided the financial statements in many different, but useful formats. I would recommend GCA Services wholeheartedly for consideration by any organization. “
