Bookkeeping for Osoyoos and the South Okanagan
In Osoyoos the year runs on the season: summer on the lake, harvest in the fall, and a quiet winter. We keep the books monthly, run payroll for seasonal staff, and file GST and PST, so the figures are ready when you plan next season's hiring and buying.
Common in South Okanagan books
Wineries, orchards, and fruit stands share a pattern: heavy costs early in the year, revenue concentrated in a few months, and inventory — fruit, juice, wine in tank and bottle — that has to be valued at year end. Monthly books make the cash runway visible from January to the first sales.
Lakeside tourism adds motels, campgrounds, rentals, and restaurants that take deposits for future stays and hire for the summer, and the town's trades and property businesses serve both the residents and the visitors.
What we handle for Osoyoos businesses
Wineries & orchards
Seasonal cash flow planned ahead, inventory valued at year end, and excise and liquor PST kept apart from farm sales.
Lakeside tourism
Deposits for future stays held as liabilities until the stay happens, and seasonal payroll set up and closed out cleanly.
Trades & rentals
Job costs and vehicle records for the trades; rent and expenses tracked per property for the holding companies.
Local licensing: Businesses operating in Osoyoos generally need a Town of Osoyoos business licence, renewed annually.

Common questions
Our revenue is mostly June to September. How does monthly bookkeeping help?
The books show what the summer earned, what the winter costs, and how long the cash lasts, so decisions about hiring, buying, and borrowing are made from figures rather than from memory.
Do we charge GST on fruit sold at the stand?
Basic groceries, including fresh fruit, are generally zero-rated, so no GST is charged — but you still claim back the GST paid on inputs. Processed products and prepared food can be taxable, so what is sold is recorded by type.
