Start with the situation you’re in
Three questions cover most first visits. Pick the one that sounds like you and the next page answers it.
“I’m incorporated and want one CPA for the year-end, the T2 and the books.”
That is the core of the practice. Start Here lays out the three ways in, what the first year looks like, and what it costs.
Start here“I don’t know how much accounting I actually need.”
Bookkeeper, controller or CFO is a scope question, not a title. This page sorts it by what your business does each month.
Which level fits“I have a CRA letter, a deadline, or a year that never got filed.”
Email what happened. A CPA reads it and replies within one business day with the next step and the fee, in writing.

You see the number before the work starts
Quoted in writing after a free consultation. Nothing begins until you say yes.
Personal tax
from $100
A T1 return for an owner, a contractor, or someone with rental income. Filed alongside the corporate year-end, not in isolation.
Monthly bookkeeping
from $300/mo
Books that close monthly instead of being rebuilt each spring, with GST and PST kept as the separate taxes they are.
Fractional CFO
from $2,500/mo
For when bookkeeping stops answering the question. A fractional controller, at $1,500 a month, sits between the two.
Corporate tax (T2)
quoted up front
The T2 return with year-end statements, e-filed, and the salary-versus-dividend call made before the year closes rather than after. Estimate it without a call.
Four things move the corporate number, and none of them is a clock:
What if it turns out bigger than the quote?
You hear about it before it happens, not on the invoice.
If opening the books shows a worse year than the consultation suggested, a missing quarter of GST or two years rather than one, we talk first and agree the revised number the same way we agreed the first. A quote that quietly grows isn’t a fixed fee.
Questions through the year are included in every engagement. An email in July about whether to buy the truck now or in January doesn’t generate an invoice. The questions people skip because of the meter are usually the ones worth asking. See published fees or get an estimate without a call.
Your first ninety days, in order
Most of what goes wrong in a first year is a sequencing problem. This is the order that avoids it.
A free conversation
Thirty minutes on what you do, what’s filed, and what’s overdue. You leave with a fixed fee in writing and no obligation. Book it here.
Access and records
We’re authorised with the CRA, so notices and balances get looked up rather than requested from you. Switching? Your file is requested the same week.
Set up, or catch up
Books set up or brought current, the chart of accounts arranged so year-end reads properly, and anything overdue scheduled oldest year first.
Reports, then a plan
First monthly reports, the next twelve months of deadlines set, and the decisions that belong before a year-end made while there’s still time.
You don’t have to wait for a year-end
People stay somewhere they’ve outgrown because they think moving is disruptive. It takes three steps.
You authorise us
One CRA form, signed electronically. You don’t have to explain it to anyone, and you don’t need to have a reason ready.
We request your file
A courtesy between firms. You never make that call yourself, and nobody asks you why you’re leaving.
We pick up
From the last filed year-end, with the books brought current. Nothing gets re-done that doesn’t need re-doing.
You don’t need a complaint
Businesses outgrow an arrangement for ordinary reasons.
The firm that suited a sole proprietorship isn’t always right for a corporation with payroll, and a practice that has grown may have moved your file to someone you’ve never met. Neither is a reason to stay.
And if the books are behind, that’s not a reason to put it off. It’s usually the reason to move. Catch-up work is quoted separately, so you can see what clearing the backlog costs before you commit to it. How switching actually goes.
Four dates, and none of them should surprise you
An incorporated business runs on a handful of fixed dates. We hold the calendar so you don’t have to.
What missing one costs
None of it is dramatic on its own. It’s just money you had no reason to spend.
File the T2 late and the penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for every complete month, up to twelve. If you were charged it in any of the three previous years, it doubles to 10% plus 2% a month.
Interest runs separately, at the CRA’s prescribed rate, and it isn’t deductible. Slips carry their own penalty, charged per slip. Every CRA deadline in one place, if you’d rather see the whole calendar.
Who this is for, and who it isn’t
An honest answer saves everyone a meeting.
This fits you
Incorporated owner-managers. Contractors and trades, realtors and professional corporations, truckers and owner-operators, e-commerce sellers, construction companies.
Businesses past doing the books themselves and nowhere near needing a finance department. People who want one CPA on the file from first call to filed return, who’d rather know the fee than discover it, and who want an answer when they ask a question rather than a meeting request.
This fits you less well
If you want the cheapest possible filing and nothing else. A return prepared without a conversation is a cheaper product and some firms do it well. This isn’t that.
Or if you genuinely need an audit. Most owner-managed companies don’t, and finding out what your bank will actually accept is often the biggest saving on the table. Where a real audit is required, a compilation isn’t it, and you want a firm set up for assurance work.
Not sure which one you are? That’s what the free consultation is for. Or ask a question first if you’d rather not book anything yet.
Working with us from anywhere
The office is on South Fraser Way in Abbotsford. Almost none of the work needs you to come to it.
Records stay where they belong. Your documents are kept for the six years CRA expects, in one place rather than scattered across an email thread, and they are yours to ask for at any time. If you ever leave, you take the file with you. That’s how it should work, and it’s worth saying out loud because it often isn’t.
Fraser Valley clients tend to meet once and then never need to again. Clients in Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Winnipeg have never been to the office at all, and it hasn’t changed the work. What distance doesn’t change is who does it: the same CPA prepares and reviews the file, and answers when you ask.
