Who you're working with
Hey, I'm Frank.
The Guy Behind The
Numbers.
Hey, I'm Frank.
The Guy Behind The Numbers.
Here's the short version: I started IDSL because I love working with entrepreneurs. I know what it feels like to pour everything into an idea, and I know the numbers can be the scariest part. My whole goal is to make that part feel safe. You hand me the books, you trust they're done right, and you get to breathe.
That's the name, honestly. Ideas Sell. Your idea is the spark. I just make sure the money side keeps the lights on.

Trusting someone with your finances is a big deal. So here's exactly how your data stays yours.
QuickBooks Online
I get user-level access only. Remove it anytime from your settings.
Hubdoc
Linked to your QBO account. I only import what you've uploaded.
Google Drive
Shared folders live under your account. You invite me, and you can revoke anytime.
No personal devices
Your documents are never kept on personal or unapproved local storage.
No AI or third-party tools
Your data never goes into generative AI or unapproved tools without your written OK.
Revoked on request
Any access I have is removed immediately when you ask, in writing. No delay.
What clients say
Don't Just Take
My Word For It.
I let the work, and my clients, do the talking. Real reviews land here as they come in; you can always read them straight from my Upwork profile too.
Do I need to have my books in order before we start?
Nope. Messy, behind, or starting from zero, that's exactly what I'm here for. We sort it out together.
How does pricing work?
Transparent and straightforward, with no hidden fees. Bookkeeping is $40/hour (billed on actual hours) and GST/QST remittances are $50 per quarterly filing. Tax returns are flat-rate: $150 for a self-employed return, $950 for a corporate return. Prefer fixed pricing? The Quarterly Clean-Up is $450/quarter, or $1,800/year for the full 'Your Books Are Served' package.
Do you work with my accounting software?
Yes, I work in QuickBooks Online, with Hubdoc for receipts and Google Drive for documents. All under your accounts, with access you control.
Is my financial data safe with you?
Completely. I only ever get user-level access, nothing lives on personal devices, your data never touches AI tools without written permission, and you can revoke my access instantly, anytime.
