Ottawa Accountant for Small Business — Online & Remote

EverStone CPA helps Ottawa business owners and independent consultants with corporate tax, bookkeeping and advice — delivered securely online by a dedicated Canadian CPA at fixed, up-front fees.

Who we help here: In Ottawa we help government contractors, tech and SaaS founders, and independent consultants stay on top of T2, HST and payroll — with clear advice on incorporating and paying yourself.

Why EverStone

A CPA firm Ottawa owners can rely on — without the office visit

Ottawa is full of incorporated consultants and contractors — especially around government, tech and professional services — who need clean books and a properly optimised salary-vs-dividend mix. We handle all of it online, pairing your federal T2 and Ontario HST with advice that actually helps you keep more of what you earn.

In Ottawa you work directly with a Chartered Professional Accountant who tracks your file year-round, not just at tax time. Everything is online with video and phone meetings, and the fee is fixed and quoted before any work begins.

What’s different about taxes in Ontario

Federal rules are the same across Canada — here’s the Ontario piece we take care of for your Ottawa business.

Sales tax

Ontario uses a single 13% HST (harmonized GST + provincial tax) rather than two separate taxes — simpler to charge, but you need to track input tax credits carefully to claim everything you’re owed.

Corporate tax rate

Ontario taxes active small-business income at 3.2% provincially, on top of the 9% federal small-business rate.

Payroll & other

Employer Health Tax (EHT) can apply once your annual payroll passes the exemption — we make sure it’s handled and never a year-end surprise.

Common questions

Ottawa accountant FAQ

Do I need to be in Ottawa to work with EverStone CPA?+
Not at all. We’re a Canadian CPA firm and we work with Ottawa business owners entirely online — video or phone meetings and electronic signatures. Because the T2, HST and CRA filings are federal, an Ottawa business is fully served by a remote CPA and location has no bearing on the work.
How does a remote accountant in Ottawa actually work?+
We take care of the books, tax and filings, and we meet by video or phone around your schedule. You get the same dedicated CPA all year — most Ottawa clients tell us it’s faster and easier than driving to a downtown office.
Do you understand Ontario taxes?+
Yes. On top of the federal T2 and GST/HST that apply everywhere in Canada, we handle the Ontario-specific pieces — sales tax, provincial corporate rates and any provincial payroll obligations — so your Ottawa business stays fully compliant on both fronts.
How much does an accountant cost for a Ottawa business?+
Fees are fixed and confirmed before any work begins, quoted after a free consultation. A standalone T2 corporate return starts at $800 — or from $1,200 with year-end financial statements. Bookkeeping starts at $300/month and personal tax from $100, all quoted to your situation.
