Toronto Bookkeepers You Can Trust
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, founder Richard Nauth established GCA Services 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
Founder & Principal Accountant
Richard Nauth graduated with a bachelor's degree in Economics from York University's Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, where he focused heavily on accounting and corporate finance frameworks. This rigorous academic foundation is paired with years of hands-on experience in corporate finance, tax planning, and public accounting.
As a well-seasoned Accountant and Bookkeeper with extensive industry experience, Richard currently serves clients across both Canada and the United States.
His entry into the profession began unexpectedly in his early teens. Stepping in to help manage the bookkeeping and build an accounting system for his father's company, he was trained exclusively by the firm's external CGA (now CPA).
This early experience threw him 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 respectively. Richard created a working system in Excel to track income and expenses as well as the company's balance sheet items, specifically a system to track and monitor Accounts Receivable and Payable.
Discovering QuickBooks a few years later, he taught himself full-cycle bookkeeping - admittedly with some errors and unreconciled ledgers at the time! With experience collaborating with his CGA and through his vast employment experience working with CPA accounting firms as a senior staff bookkeeper and staff accountant, Richard is now able to take bookkeeping and accounting to higher levels and can proudly say that he has served hundreds of clients and has performed dozens of CRA reviews/examination/audits.
I have proudly taken complex CRA cases to arbitration by filing Notices of Objection. When audits are assessed incorrectly by an assigned agent, I step in to contest the assessment—a process that has successfully recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in refunds for my clients.
Driven by a passion for his work, Richard continues to develop and strengthen his skills alongside an exceptional network of clients, staff, and accounting firms. He remains genuinely enthusiastic about his career path and looks forward to leading the next stage of GCA Services' growth.

“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 have always been timely and efficient. Since I am a novice to the role of Treasurer, Richard has always personally answered all questions needed to understand the process. I would recommend GCA Services wholeheartedly for consideration by any organization.”

“Working with GCA services has been a painless and hugely beneficial process. Having a trusted professional that I can delegate all of the bookkeeping tasks to has removed a huge weight from my shoulders and given me more time to focus on business growth. My accountant is also thrilled as my books have never looked better! Another big benefit is that having a 3rd party manage invoicing and late payment recovery has removed these awkward conversations from my client interactions. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Their highly communicative style and personal support, along with accuracy in bookkeeping, have made me feel like I have an added support team as my company grows.

Natalie Pastuszak

“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... was I ever wrong! After a few months I switched all my business over to GCA who has proven to be so organized, patient, qualified, fast and reliable. I am recommending Richard to anyone looking for a good accountant/bookkeeper. If you're on this page to find out about his services, don't bother looking elsewhere.”

“We moved our books to Richard and his team from a large accounting firm who over charged us for every little correspondence and was an absolute nightmare to deal with. GCA was a pleasure to work with as they took care of all of our monthly bookkeeping, payroll and reconciliations and I was able to sleep again at night. I couldn't ask for a better bookkeeping firm.”

“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!”
