AT DAY2dayBooks
We like to work hard and play hard. This shines through how we show up in everything we do. We are a motivated, determined and open team. We respect each other’s opinion and know we are all skilled and knowledgeable.
We support each other when needed, in case deadlines need to be met or someone has to step away to look after personal matters.
We value the option to work remotely and understand the importance of teamwork and communication.

Why I Day2Day Books
There is never a dull moment at Day2Day Books. There is always a problem to solve, a client to help or a team member to support. As a business owner you try to plan things the best you can, but you’re always the person people go to with there questions. Supporting and empowering my team in what they do, is the most satisfying job I can ever wish for.

Alyson Beitz
Bookkeeper
Ontario
Nova Scotia
After many years working in the hospitality industry Alyson was ready for a career switch with regular work hours. Working as a sous-chef with long evenings was breaking her up. Even a more stable job at the hospital wasn’t it. She took a leave to invest in her personal development and did a 4 month fulltime online bookkeeping course before landing her job at Day2Day books. Alyson is now one of our most long-term employees!
Why I Day2Day Books
I am grateful to work with a company where I can learn all about cloud-based bookkeeping. With an array of clients to work with and the staff being so friendly and knowledgeable, I feel like I can grow to be successful in this industry.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work I like to explore, checking out provincial parks and beaches. Always looking for new places to walk the dog.

I'm a tech nerd with a background in HR, Operations and Social Media. I like to make things happen.
Why I Day2Day Books
I was looking for a remote opportunity that I could apply my skill set to where I could add value to the organization.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Play in the dirt. My garden is my happy place. I also like to cook and am a professional freelance makeup artist. A girl needs options!
Petra
Bookkeeper
The Netherlands
Revelstoke, BC.
We (my partner Peter, myself and 2 dogs) moved from the Netherlands to Canada spring 2005. We started off in Revelstoke not knowing if that's where we would settle but after 6 months we bought a property in Revelstoke and that's where we still live. I have worked in accounting since I was 18 years old and even though I had a full time job and studied in the evenings & weekends, I always found time for my biggest hobbies: traveling & motorcycle riding. After moving to Revelstoke I also like to explore the trails in the area most of the time together with our Rhodesian Ridgeback Jesco. Last year I decided it was time for a change and I took a break from work and started to look for something with more flexibility. I think I have found that at Day2Day Books and on top of that, I'm able to work within a great team of people!

Laura James
Bookkeeper
Ottawa Area
Golden, BC
Laura moved to Golden as it was the perfect spot to do what she loves most. Hiking and backpacking right from your doorstep! After a decade working at the local mill, Laura decided she didn’t want to do shift work much longer. She followed her mother’s footstep and started doing accounting courses through the College of the Rockies. During her studies she’s working parttime at Day2Day Books.
Why I Day2Day Books
I like working at Day2Day Books because it’s almost like hiking. Sometimes it’s a struggle to get everything done but once it’s done, there’s this feeling of accomplishment that feels so good. The teamwork is great even if we aren’t all in the same location, we get the work done and help each other along the way.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Hiking / backpacking
AT DAY2Day Books,
It's NOT ALL ABOUT NUMBERS
On a regular basis we organize team gatherings where we combine training with a fun activity. Some examples are paddle boarding and a visit to the local Skybridge and Zipline. We look forward to adding more to this list soon!

OUR VALUES
Below are our core values listed. We live and breathe them in all we do, internally as well as with our clients and all other relationships we have.
Growth
Passion
When you are excited about something, you are usually better at it and you are more likely to enjoy what you are doing, and go the extra nine yards. Our team loves number crunching, organizing paperwork and we ensure you feel comfortable with your books. We love sharing our knowledge.
Balance
As real beancounters we love to balance the books, but that’s not all! We love the right balance between being professional and cracking jokes. We don’t mind putting long days in when deadlines need to be met and taking time off during less busy times. We switch between working from the office to working from home. All to find the right balance that works for us and our clients.
Honesty
Open and honest communication is important to maintain good relationships, both between staff and clients. Being able to say that you don’t understand something, that you haven’t done something before or made a mistake and own it is hugely important. Besides this we know we are all human beings and that sometimes we have a bad day, or things happen in our personal lives that affect how we show up. That’s ok and sharing this will help us all understand.
Teamwork
At Day2Day Books we believe in ‘we’ and ‘us’ - together we are able to do so much more! This relates to us as a team where we strive to communicate well, learn, ask questions and help each other do the best job possible.
It also reflects on how we work together with our clients. We expect our clients to do the same and see us as part of their team.
