I should add bookkeepers and every other hardworking staffer in an accounting firm!  

(My bookkeeper was recommended by my CPA.

I really want to grow my business in the US, however my new cross-border accountant has basically told me that the accounting fees, tax return filings, bookkeeping etc. required to make my operation work the way I want it will eat up most of my returns and thus make these seemingly sweeter deals in the US not so sweet.

I don't want to get a tenant toilet call and that there 2nd job cut hours so I will have to go by their place 2 to 3 times over the month to get full rent and do double bookkeeping records.

If there is any kind of split of proceeds stated, ask for the bookkeeping of collected receipts for the past 5 months and demand your cut.Also, you can see if there really is a clause that says the lease transfers with sale to the new owner.If he has none of these things to show you, I think you can consider yourself the proud owner of these machines and make them operable for yourself.Hanna

I do want to see how their bank statements compare with their bookkeeping file and tax returns. 

If you aren't ready yet, why not offer bookkeeping services that can be done from home?

I'm looking into bookkeeping services and have been hearing about Bench.co.  

On the other hand, as a Canadian, there are additional overheads (read taxes, bookkeeping, etc.) that make opportunities that seem OK, very marginal when all the costs are included.

Also everything is in place already bookkeeper, attorney, funding, management and maintenance.
