Who Zoho Accounting is for
If one of these sounds like your situation in Nunavut, this service is likely a good fit.

Problems Zoho Accounting solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Nunavut.
Reports nobody trusts
Inconsistent accounts and tags produce confusing reports. A clean chart of accounts makes every report reliable. For a Nunavut company, the local angle is GST/HST and the expectations of the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities.
Bank reconciliation that takes days
Without feeds and rules, every transaction is matched by hand. Automated rules reduce this to review and approval. Businesses near Rankin Inlet tell us this is where time is lost.
Invoices that get paid late
Manual follow-up and unclear payment links slow cash. Reminders and online payment options shorten collection time. Budget for this in CAD before you compare quotes in Nunavut.

Use this guide to understand the process, do parts of it yourself or judge whether a provider is doing it properly.
- 1
Set organisation details and fiscal year
Enter legal name, currency (CAD), fiscal year and tax registrations first, because they affect every later step. For a Nunavut company, the local angle is GST/HST and the expectations of the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities.
- 2
Configure taxes and numbering
Create tax rates and groups for GST/HST, then set invoice and bill numbering that suits your records. In Nunavut, it helps to plan this around Eastern and Pacific time working hours.
- 3
Connect banks and write rules
Link bank feeds, then add rules for repeat payees so categorisation happens automatically. Teams in Iqaluit usually raise this in the first call.
- 4
Design the chart of accounts
Keep it as simple as your reporting allows, and agree account names with your accountant before importing balances. We see this regularly with mining businesses in Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet.
Before you start: preparation checklist
Having these ready usually shortens the project.
Last trial balance and opening balances
Opening balances anchor the new books to your last agreed position.
Your accountant's preferred account structure
Matching your accountant’s structure avoids rework at year end.
Tax registration numbers and filing frequency
Tax numbers and filing frequency drive tax settings and return reports.
