Bookkeeping for CPEs and daycares
Track subsidies and parent fees cleanly, run specialized payroll, and give your board and funders reporting they trust.
In short A non-profit CPE or daycare runs on subsidies and parent fees, with a board and a ministry both watching the numbers. We set up fund-aware books that keep subsidy and fee revenue clean, handle a sizeable payroll, and produce board-ready statements.
What we handle for CPEs and daycares
- Subsidy and parent-fee tracking — government subsidies and family contributions recorded separately and reconciled, ready for funder reporting.
- Specialized payroll — educators and staff, with RL-1 and T4 slips, vacation and source deductions on time.
- Board and ministry reporting — clean monthly statements a volunteer board treasurer can actually read.
- GST/QST and the rebates that apply to qualifying organizations.
- Québec non-profit filings — the CO-17.SP and the REQ annual update.
Most CPEs are non-profit organizations rather than registered charities — which changes your filings (see charity vs. NPO). We confirm your status and build the books to match. Plans start at $350/month; book a free call.
