“As a small organization without in-house financial expertise, having a knowledgeable and dependable bookkeeper has been invaluable. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional support. Melyssa and Andrew are responsive and take the time to explain financial processes in a way that helps us learn and build our own understanding. Thanks to their expertise, patience, and dedication, we know our financial matters are in excellent hands, allowing us to focus on our mission with confidence.”

“Melyssa and Andrew at M&A Bookkeeping have been fantastic to work with. They're incredibly responsive, efficient, and always make sure things are taken care of - especially when it comes to year-end and tax documents. When I started my small business, I had no idea where to begin with the bookkeeping side of things. They got me set up, organized, and ready to roll, and have made the process easy ever since. I'm so grateful to have them in my corner!”
Natalie Hennessey - Owner, Dr. Natalie Hennessey, ND

Who We Are
Melyssa & Andrew are siblings, born and raised on Prince Edward Island. Together they founded M&A in 2022 with a shared entrepreneurial vision and now work with clients from across the country. M&A has shown exponential growth year over year, providing top quality bookkeeping services and review of workflow processes to ensure accuracy and efficiency across their clients.
After graduating from UPEI with her BBA in 2022, Melyssa co-founded M&A with the goal of helping business owners have a better grasp of their financials. She had over 4 years of bookkeeping experience before starting this firm, spanning several industries. Her main focus now is on the non-profit sector, with a few private small businesses rounding out her clientele.
With his entrepreneurial mindset, and several years of bookkeeping in the restaurant industry under his belt, Andrew took the first steps in starting M&A. From there, Andrew has grown his services from full-cycle bookkeeping to project-focused work, helping business owners with integrations and migrations and giving them the tools they need to make confident business decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information or access do you need from me to start?
Basic company information and a clear picture of where your books currently stand — that's step one. From there, we'll walk you through exactly what access we need to get going.
Do I need to switch accounting software, or can you work with what I already use?
We work in QuickBooks Online. If you're coming from another software or spreadsheets, we'll move everything over for you as part of setup.
Can you take over mid-year, or do I need to wait until year-end?
We can take over any time of year. The timing and status of your books — whether filings are up to date or there's catch-up work involved — helps us determine cost and where to start.
Is everything handled remotely, or is there an option to meet in person?
Most of our work is handled remotely by email and shared folders, which works well since we serve clients across Canada. We're happy to meet in person if you prefer for introductory meetings or when needed.
Do you also file taxes?
We prepare and file GST/HST and payroll remittances. We are also well-versed in personal taxes. Corporate returns go to your accountant; we prepare and send them a year-end package and work with them through the process if they have any questions.
What does communication with you look like?
Email is our main channel, and how often you hear from us depends on what your business needs — weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. We'll set that cadence together so you always know where things stand.
Get in touch.
Introductory meeting free. Tell us where your books stand and a brief summary of what you are looking for and we will get back to you.
