Three things we do properly
Most clients use us as their whole accounting department. You can also take one piece — the year end, or just the payables — and keep the rest in house.
Tax
Corporate and personal returns, GST and payroll filings. We are the representative on record, so when CRA writes, the letter comes to us.
Corporate tax →
Accounting system setup
QuickBooks Online and Xero, set up so the numbers mean something. Chart of accounts, opening balances, bank feeds and a close process your team can run.
System setup →
Managed accounts payable
Invoices in, approvals routed, payment runs prepared on a set day, vendor statements reconciled. You keep authority over releasing money.
Managed AP →We also keep books, on a quarterly or annual cycle — not daily. How that works.
When CRA writes, you don't answer alone
A review letter is not an accusation, but it has a deadline, and what you send in the first reply decides how long the file stays open. We handle post-assessing reviews, GST and payroll desk reviews, audits, Notices of Objection, taxpayer relief and voluntary disclosures.
We answer every point CRA raises, including the ones that don't apply and why. That is what keeps a routine review from turning into a second round.
How we work
The thing that goes wrong most often in this business is a fee set at the end, from a feeling about how long something took. We do it the other way round.
A first conversation, at no charge
Thirty minutes on what you have, what state it's in and what's coming up. You'll get a straight answer on whether we're the right fit, including when we're not.
Scope and fee in writing, before anything starts
What's included, what isn't, what it costs, and what happens if the work turns out bigger than it looked. No surprise invoice at the end.
A rhythm you can rely on
Books closed on a schedule, payables run on a set day, remittances made before the deadline rather than on it, and a real person who picks up when you call about a letter.
Talk to us before you commit to anything
Thirty minutes, no charge, and a straight answer on whether we're the right fit — including when we're not. You'll have the scope and the fee in writing before any work starts.
