Accounting and tax services for incorporated businesses

Running an incorporated business involves more than filing a corporate tax return once a year.

We help incorporated business owners manage their corporate year-end, tax filings, compensation, bookkeeping, and important financial decisions. The work is coordinated across the corporation and its owners, with practical advice based on how the business actually operates.

The practice is based in Toronto and serves incorporated clients across Canada.

Corporate accounting, tax and advisory
01

Corporate tax and year-end accounting

Corporate year-end services include compilation engagements, financial statements, T2 corporate tax returns, and a review of the accounting and tax matters affecting the business.

We also consider shareholder balances, GST/HST, capital purchases, salary and dividends, instalments, and other items that should be addressed before the filings are finalized.

Corporate tax planning

Some tax decisions need to be considered before the transaction occurs or the fiscal year ends.

We help business owners review compensation, retained earnings, holding companies, ownership changes, corporate reorganizations, and planning for a future sale.

Personal tax for business owners

The corporation’s tax filings and the owner’s personal return are closely connected.

How the services fit together

Many clients begin with a corporate year-end and add support as the business develops.

For example, bookkeeping affects the year-end records, compensation affects both the corporate and personal returns, and an ownership change can create accounting, tax, and legal considerations.

Keeping these areas coordinated reduces duplicated work and makes it easier to identify issues before filing deadlines.

Support that fits your business

Not every business needs every service.

We begin by understanding the corporation, its owners, the current records, and the support required. From there, the work can be limited to the immediate filing or expanded to include planning, cleanup, or related matters where appropriate.
