Cornerstone Compliance: bookkeeping built for trades & landscaping companies that are too busy to guess.

We help trades and landscaping companies improve profits and manage cash flow through personal support and real, up-to-date numbers they can trust.

You run the crews and the jobs — we keep the books behind them accurate, current, and clear.

Sound familiar?

You're not short on work. You're short on answers.

"We're busy, but I don't know where the money is going."

Revenue is up, crews are booked solid — and profit still feels lower than it should.

"I don't trust my numbers."

Reports are late, incomplete, or confusing, so decisions get made on gut feel instead.

"There never seems to be enough money in the bank to pay everything."

Payroll, suppliers, and tax remittances all come due at once, and you're left juggling what gets paid first.

Who we serve

Built for trades & landscaping companies that want a trusted advisor, not just a bookkeeper.

We work with incorporated trades and landscaping companies doing $1M–$5M a year with 5–20 employees, running on QuickBooks Online. Our best clients want someone in their corner to help them understand their cash flow and profits, and to make confident decisions alongside them. If that sounds like you, we already understand your business before we open the file.

We also know the BC rules that affect your numbers: holdbacks, PST, payroll and WorkSafeBC. See how we keep on top of them →
