Question 1

How do I know which accounting service I need?

Accepted Answer

If filings or records are missing, begin with the Get Caught Up page and assessment. If your business is current and needs recurring support, begin with Ongoing Accounting. For a specific return, adjustment, setup or advisory question, book a strategy session so the required work can be identified.

Question 2

Do you provide both one-time and monthly services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A one-time engagement may cover a particular return, adjustment, incorporation or consultation. Recurring engagements may include monthly bookkeeping, GST/HST, payroll, reporting and year-end work. The appropriate structure depends on the condition of the records and the continuing obligations involved.

Question 3

Can several services be combined in one engagement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A written proposal may combine bookkeeping, GST/HST, payroll, T2, personal tax and CRA correspondence support when the services depend on the same records. The proposal identifies what is included and whether any earlier catch-up work must be completed first.

Question 4

What documents should I send with my first enquiry?

Accepted Answer

Do not send tax returns, Social Insurance Numbers, bank statements, payroll records or other sensitive documents through the public website form. Initially, provide only the type of assistance required, the applicable years or periods and any known deadline. Secure upload instructions are provided when appropriate.

Question 5

How are accounting service fees determined?

Accepted Answer

Fees depend on the entities, tax years or reporting periods involved, transaction volume, condition of the records, number of accounts, deadlines and required deliverables. You receive a written scope and fee before the engagement begins.

Question 6

Can you work with clients outside Ontario?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Services are available virtually across Canada. Matters involving provincial sales taxes, corporate registrations or province-specific requirements are reviewed before they are included in the engagement.

Question 7

Do these services include legal, insolvency or assurance work?

Accepted Answer

Not unless a separate qualified professional and written engagement are involved. Legal advice, licensed insolvency services, audit or review engagements and investment advice are not implied by the accounting and tax services described on this page.

Question 8

What does RPA mean?

Accepted Answer

RPA stands for Registered Professional Accountant, a professional accounting designation issued by The Society of Professional Accountants of Canada. It reflects my professional accounting education, experience and commitment to ethical standards. All services remain subject to the agreed engagement terms and applicable professional authorizations.

Accounting and Tax Services for Individuals and Owner-Managed Businesses

Choose the Right Starting Point

Most enquiries fall into one of three paths. Choose the one closest to your situation; the exact work is confirmed after an initial review.

Catch Up

Returns, program accounts or supporting records are missing, and earlier periods must be organized before current work can begin.

Stay Current

Your business is active and needs recurring bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST, reporting or year-end preparation on an agreed schedule.

One-Time Service

You need a particular return, adjustment, incorporation or consultation with clearly defined deliverables, information requirements and fees.

Accounting and Tax Services Available

These descriptions provide an overview. Your written proposal confirms the precise deliverables, periods, assumptions and responsibilities included in your engagement.

Corporate Tax and T2 Returns

T2 preparation, year-end reconciliation and practical tax planning for owner-managed corporations. Work may include prior-year returns, shareholder-account review, tax instalment considerations and coordination with the personal filings connected to the corporation.

Bookkeeping and Record Reconstruction

Monthly QuickBooks Online bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, transaction classification and reporting. Catch-up work may include reconstructing records, correcting opening balances and organizing the books required for corporate, GST/HST or personal filings.

GST/HST and Provincial Sales Tax

GST/HST return preparation and reconciliation for the reporting periods assigned to the account. Support may include catch-up periods, amendments and related correspondence. Other provincial sales-tax work is included where identified in the written scope.

Payroll calculations, source-deduction tracking, remittance support and year-end slips for businesses with employees or reporting obligations. The engagement identifies the pay frequency, included workers and any catch-up periods.

With authorization, I review CRA account information, respond to correspondence and follow up on matters included in the engagement. CRA retains control over processing, assessments, relief, payment arrangements and collection decisions.

Incorporation and Account Setup

Federal or provincial incorporation filing and accounting or CRA-account setup for new owner-managed businesses. Work may include program-account registration, opening records and guidance for separating corporate and personal activity.

Accounting Consultations

A focused meeting for a defined tax or accounting concern. We identify the facts, records, deadlines and practical next steps. Implementation, document preparation or additional research is quoted separately when it is not included in the consultation.
