The Montana
Group's
Commitment

To supply accurate and timely
bookkeeping and related services
to clients at a reasonable cost
while ensuring total confidentiality

Welcome!

As President of The Montana Group, I would like to welcome you personally to our web site.

Bookkeepers do more than add and subtract. Today's bookkeepers offer a wealth of financial information, ensure your records are kept in accordance with legal and tax requirements, and reduce your margin for error... at a cost far less than what a Chartered Accountant would charge to clean up bookkeeping disasters.

Leveraging the power of QuickBooksTM, The Montana Group has the expertise necessary to take your company to the next level, and help you stay in the black, not the dark.

And please take a look at our HST page for the latest news on the new Harmonized Sales Tax. We look forward to working with you.

The fees were imposed on manufacturers and retailers to help fund a recycling program that diverts potentially hazardous items from landfills.
