Services

Tax leads. Accounting supports.

Corporate and owner tax are the core of every engagement — prepared accurately and filed on time. Bookkeeping, reporting and controller support are available where they make the relationship more useful — never mandatory.

01 — Core

GST/HST & Payroll Tax

The recurring filings that keep a corporation in good standing — filed on time and reconciled to the accounts. We can run payroll end to end, or work alongside the payroll provider you already use.

Included

  • GST/HST returns
  • Registration analysis
  • Input-tax-credit reconciliations
  • Payroll remittances
  • Full payroll runs & direct deposit
  • ROEs & new-hire paperwork
  • T4 & T4A preparation
  • Taxable benefits
  • Payroll-account reconciliations
  • Workers' comp (WSIB/CNESST) & EHT coordination
  • Contractor-vs-employee analysis

Workers'-compensation premiums (WSIB in Ontario, CNESST in Quebec, the equivalent board in your province) and provincial payroll levies such as Ontario's EHT are kept on the same calendar as your CRA remittances. Which of those we prepare and which we coordinate varies by province — we confirm exactly which accounts we handle at the estimate.

06 — Full service

Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting

Need us to manage the underlying records as well? We can maintain or clean up your books so the tax work is based on reliable, up-to-date information.

Included

  • Monthly bookkeeping
  • Bank & credit-card reconciliations
  • Bookkeeping cleanup
  • Chart-of-accounts design
  • Monthly close
  • Management statements
  • Payroll runs, direct deposit & ROEs
  • AP & AR support
  • System setup & migration

Already have a bookkeeper or accounting system? We work with your existing records and recommend changes only where they improve the quality or efficiency of the service.

Reporting, Budgets & CFO Support

When your bank, your bonding agent or a large customer asks for numbers, you need statements that hold up — and you need them quickly. This is the work behind those requests: a budget you can run the year against, profit by job, truck or location, and reporting that arrives on a schedule instead of in a scramble. No full-time finance hire required.

Included

  • Lender & bonding statements
  • Budgets & cash-flow forecasts
  • Profitability by job, truck or location
  • KPI reporting
  • Multi-entity reporting
  • Process improvement & controls
  • Audit-readiness support

Some lender and bonding packages call for statements from an independent CPA firm — a review or audit engagement. We are not a CPA firm, so where that is required we prepare the underlying reporting and work alongside the firm that signs it.

Service boundaries

Clear about what we do — and what we refer.

We are not a CPA firm and do not provide audits, review engagements or other independent assurance. Specialized matters are referred to independent professionals we trust — often served jointly.
