Don't Overpay CRA

UNLIMITED FREE TAX ADVICE

Most accounting firms give basic tax advice, typically on eligible expense deductions.
Those aren't really tax strategies. They also charge $95/hour to $400/hour for that advice.

We educate clients on CRA compliant tax strategies, before you hire us,
in a free one-hour consultation with a Managing Partner.

Once you hire us, we give unlimited free tax advice for 12 months.
Email us, call us or come in as often as you'd like and we'll answer all of your questions.

Plus... we perform a free review of your 3 previous years tax returns
and we typically find that clients have overpaid taxes by an average of $3,125.00/year
in previous years with other tax preparers. We may be able to recoup that money.
 

 

EXPERIENCED, BUSINESS ACCOUNTANTS

Many accounting firms use fresh out of University, inexperienced accountants.

Our Team of Business Accountants have numerous years of experience
and prepare corporate tax returns themselves

 

FAST, ACCURATE, AFFORDABLE TAX PREPARATION

Many independent tax preparers work alone. No receptionist, no administrative staff, no bookkeepers.
It often takes months to complete files and costs a lot more
because they charge you for each service at their typically high accounting rate.

We have numerous administrative staff members, bookkeepers and accountants.
Once we have all of your required information, from a checklist that we give you in advance,
we typically take less than 2 weeks to complete and charge a lot less than most
because of the volume of customers that we have, due to our affordable prices.

 

ANYTIME AVAILABILITY

Many independent tax preparers work alone, 9 to 5. No receptionist, no administrative staff, no bookkeepers.
What happens if they get sick or incapable of working? Who will perform your work?

Even our Managing Partners work evenings and weekends for your convenience. 
We also have numerous accountants. If something happens to one, another will fill in.

 

 FAMILIAR WITH ALL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

Most accountants are only familiar with one accounting software program
and in some cases it's proprietary, meaning only they use it.
What happens if they get sick or pass away and you need or want to change accountants?

Our accountants are familiar with numerous accounting software programs, including:
AccPac; FreshBooks; Quickbooks Desktop; Quickbooks Online; Sage; Simply; WaveApps; Zero... and many more!
Want to change accountants? No problem. We make the change seamless.

 

CRA REPRESENTATION IN THE EVENT OF AN AUDIT

Typically, other accountants charge a $95 to $400 hourly rate for accounting
and also when it comes to representing you with CRA.

We will represent you at CRA at no cost to you... 
if it's regarding any corporate return that we prepared for you.
(If it's from a previous accountant, we charge $100/hour)

 

HIGHEST SECURITY

Many tax preparers work from home where your financial information is potentially not safe.

We keep all your confidential files in a commercial office space 
with a state-of-the-art security system

 

CRA COMPLIANT TAX STRATEGIES

Most accountants don't offer many, if any, tax strategies as they feel their job is only accounting.
They are not taught, nor do they know, tax strategies. They give accounting advice on deductible expenses. 

Our Managing Partners are Tax Strategists.
We typically save clients hundreds of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of their companies,
implementing strategies typically reserved for business owners with multi-million dollar companies.

 

AFFORDABLE ACCOUNTANT'S FEES

Most accountants charge approximately $1,200 to $10,000 for a T2 Corporate Tax Return
The more you make, the more they charge you

We charge between $700 to $1,200 to prepare a T2 Corporate Tax Return, no matter how much you make
because whether you make $1 or $1 billion dollars, a T2 Corporate Tax Return

One bookkeeper we called charges a $400 flat monthly fee... for 10 minutes work per month.

Incorporate Your Business Canada Wide for Only $900!

Includes: Provincial Registration in Ontario Plus One Other Province

We can incorporate your business Canada Wide and register it in the province of your choice for only $900 + GST. That way you protect the name across Canada and are registered to legally operate in the province of your choosing.

 When or why should I incorporate?

There are a number of reasons why a business owner should incorporate their business, but here are a few of the more well-known reasons...

  1. Limited Liability
    Canada is getting more and more litigious in nature, similar to the United States.People are suing businesses ove anything these days. If your business is not incorporated, it means they are suing you personally. Limited liability means that when they sue, they are suing the company, not you personally. That's a pretty good reason to incorporate.

  2. Build to Sell
    Are you eventually going to sell your business? By incorporating your business, it becomes its own entity that allows you to sell it to a third party. It's difficult to sell a sole proprietorship because it's all you, therefore you can only sell the assets. We teach business owners how to build their business into a sellable entity and sell the shares.

  3. Tax Advantages
    There are many tax advantages to incorporating...

    Pay Federal Tax at a rate of only 10% and Provincial Tax at a rate of 2% instead of up to 48% that you pay personally

    Investing: When you make enough money that you are able to take out personally only what you need to live on and invest the rest through the corporation.

    Medical Expenses: Wouldn't you rather have your company pay your medical expenses with before tax dollars rather than you pay with after tax dollars?

    Life Insurance: Wouldn't you rather have your company pay your life insurance with before tax dollars rather than you pay with after tax dollars?
