What makes us different from the other guys
No "call for a quote." Our pricing is right on this page. You know exactly what you're paying before we talk.
Built for the field. We speak trip tickets, LOA claims, IFTA, per-diems, equipment depreciation, and the realities of running a business from the cab or the job site.
Everything runs on QuickBooks Online. Access your books from the cab, the shop, or the couch. No paper, no desktop software.
$1M Errors & Omissions insurance + $50K cyber liability coverage. Your data and your business are protected.
Month-to-month. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. We keep you because we earn it, not because you're stuck.
Start with Essential, move to Premium as you scale. Same bookkeeper, same system, bigger support. Upgrade anytime.
Everything you need to know before getting started
Any single line item in your bank or credit card statement — a deposit, payment, transfer, or fee. A month with 45 bank transactions and 20 credit card charges = 65 transactions.
No problem. Extra transactions are $2 each. If you consistently exceed your limit, we'll recommend the next tier for better value.
We use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for all clients. If you're on something else, we'll migrate your data as part of onboarding — no extra charge. Your QBO subscription is included in every plan.
Most clients are fully onboarded within 48 hours. You fill out a quick form, e-sign your agreement, and we configure everything in QuickBooks.
We offer catch-up bookkeeping at $75/hour. We'll get you current, then roll into your monthly plan. Most catch-ups take 2-5 hours depending on how far behind you are.
No — we're bookkeepers, not accountants. We keep your books clean year-round so your CPA can file your return quickly and accurately. We'll connect you with a trusted CPA partner if you need one.
Yes. We use QuickBooks Online (bank-level encryption), communicate through secure channels, and carry $1M Errors & Omissions insurance plus $50K cyber liability coverage. Your data is protected.
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No cancellation fees, no penalties. Your QuickBooks data is always yours.

Founder · QBO ProAdvisor Certified
Steadyhand Bookkeeping is based in Red Deer, Alberta, serving trades, trucking, and small businesses across the province.
I'm Jory. I've built and run several small businesses across Alberta — from the field side of things, not the office side. Long days on the tools or on the road, then the paperwork piled up waiting for me when I got home. Tax deadlines that sneak up on you. Receipts shoved in a binder. A GST return you keep putting off. Electricians, welders, framers, contractors, plumbers, roofers, hotshot operators, haulers, shop owners — we've all lived it. That's why I built Steadyhand: to handle the books so tradespeople, trucking operators, and small business owners can focus on the work that pays the bills instead of the paperwork that nobody enjoys.
I'm a Certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor (tested + accredited by Intuit) and carry $1M Errors & Omissions insurance. My engagement letter and privacy policy were reviewed by an Alberta lawyer before launch. Your data is protected. Your books are clean. Your deadlines are met.
