Find yourself below — we’ll take it from there.
“I’m incorporated”
You need a T2 corporate return and likely year-end statements — ideally with bookkeeping so it all ties together.
Corporate tax →“I’m self-employed”
You need a T1 with business income, with every home-office, vehicle and expense deduction captured.
Personal tax →“I’m behind on my books”
You need catch-up bookkeeping to get current, then clean monthly books so it never happens again.
Bookkeeping →“I run a trades business”
You need a CPA who handles T5018s, GST and job costing — our contractor specialty.
For contractors →“I just have a question”
You need an Advice Call — 45 paid minutes with a CPA, no engagement required, credited against your first invoice if you become a client within 60 days.
Advice Call →“I’m scaling and cash is tight”
You need a fractional CFO for forecasting, cash flow and the big decisions.
Fractional CFO →“I just want to know the cost”
See our fixed-fee pricing for every service, with real-world examples.
Pricing →“We’re a partnership”
Not every partnership files a T5013 — thresholds and partner types decide it, and the deadline moves with who the partners are.
Learn more →“I’m a BC realtor with a PREC”
A personal real estate corporation changes your filings and how you pay yourself. The year-one decisions, at fixed fees.
Learn more →“I run QuickBooks myself”
QuickBooks keeps books; it does not file T2s, plan owner pay or answer CRA letters. What a CPA adds on top of the software you already run.
Learn more →“Monthly or annual books?”
What breaks when the books are only done once a year, what the yearly approach really costs, and when each makes sense.
Learn more →“Hire a bookkeeper, or outsource?”
The real cost of each, what changes at which size, and how to tell which one your business needs now.
Learn more →“I’m about to hire”
What a hire actually costs, when the business can carry it, and what must be true for the role to pay for itself.
Learn more →“I run a farm”
You need AgriInvest and AgriStability handled with the year-end, plus quota, herd and equipment accounting done the way the CRA expects.
Farm accounting →“I run a counselling practice”
Incorporating a practice, salary vs dividends, contractor splits in group practices and books that reconcile Jane, Cliniko and insurer deposits.
Learn more →“I sell online”
You need marketplace payouts reconciled, sales tax by province, and inventory that matches what the platform says you sold.

- Corporate year-ends, T2s, GST/HST and payroll in one place
- Owners who want the salary-vs-dividend decision made deliberately
- Anyone behind on filings and wanting it priced once, in writing

If that’s you, we’ll say so on the first call and point you somewhere appropriate.
