Implementing an electronic and cloud-based full-cycle accounting solution sounds pretty complex… but it really isn't! Getting started is simple and does not require any specialized computer skills.

Every business is unique, and we treat them as such. When annualized, our fees often end up being hundreds or thousands less per year than larger firms. For a quotation tailored to your business, complete the Contact Us page. We'll arrange a no-pressure, no obligation consultation.
We prepare T1 (Personal) and T2 (Corporate) returns with Financial Statements for every business client.
Keeping your bookkeeping up to date is one of the key factors in ensuring that all of your business filings are submitted on time. We encourage you to submit your business banking records to us on a monthly basis, but quarterly is fine, too.
Whether it's monthly, quarterly, or annually, we'll ensure your GST returns are filed on time.
We prepare all required T4s for management wages and T5s for dividends issued. T4s will also be prepared for up to 5 additional employees at no extra cost.
Is it time to incorporate your business? Should you have a holding company? How should your company's share structure be built? We'll help you navigate the labyrinth of business structuring and restructuring.
Paying tax is our civic duty. But small business owners shouldn't perform more of this duty than they have to! We implement proactive strategies to minimize your tax burden, so you can keep more money in your business and help it grow.
How is your company doing in comparison to last year, or the last several years? Compared to others in your industry? What projections can we make about the future of your enterprise? Financial analytics help business owners make better decisions and increase profit margins.
Not all questions can be answered by looking at financials; sometimes one-on-one advice is required. You can book a Skype, FaceTime, or phone conference in the client area whenever you need someone to talk business with.
Has your corporation's purpose come to an end? It is very important to close it down correctly. Allowing it to just be stricken from the registry can create serious liabilities down the road. We'll ensure that all the necessary steps are taken to correctly voluntarily dissolve your corporation.
Running a business can be a hectic endeavour. Sometimes, important details fall between the cracks. We will help you with multiple year projects, bring your filings up-to-date and back into full compliance with CRA's requirements.
We do an initial consultation where we review your prior financial statements, get to know your long-term business goals, and determine your monthly fee.
You sign up for the service. We get authorizations that allow us to work with CRA on your behalf and for your company. We will inform you of any outstanding issues on your CRA accounts that you may not have been aware of.

Digital records may be emailed, sent through Dropbox, or conveniently uploaded in the client's area of the Acuity website.
