    I struggled with my accounting when I came back from my 2 year volunteering in Argentina, I used to pay a bookkeeper around 600 a year to help me out with the taxes and the guy didn't informed about deadlines and missing declarations (of course that was my responsibility not his)... it took me around 5 months to get back on track and thanks a good friend, he taught me how to keep my accounting clean forcing me to learn everything the good old way: Paper, pencils and calculators... I am proud that now I dont need to spend a dime in accountant (for now) only for the most complex stuff and I designed my own spreadsheet for quebec declaration.

    It gives you a great deal of confidence to negotiate your work... Still need to learn a lot and be more constant. But beside a good tracking software spreadsheets is the way to go.

    A few good tools I found in my last year research:

    mint.com
    paymo.biz

    and here is a draft of my google spreadsheet for quebec taxes https://docs.google.com/a/21979.…
