WHY IT MATTERS

Tax Rules Change Every Year. Your Return Should Keep Up.

Federal and provincial tax rules shift constantly, new credits, new brackets, new reporting requirements. Our job is to stay ahead of those changes so you claim every government benefit you're entitled to, and never get caught by a penalty you didn't see coming.

Whether you're filing a straightforward return or managing self-employment income alongside it, we look at your full financial picture, not just this year's paperwork so your return works for you today and sets you up for next year too.



Direct access to a CPA, not a seasonal call centre



Every credit and deduction you qualify for, found and claimed



Proactive tax planning, not just April filing

CLIENT STORY

From Employee to Incorporated Business Owner

When a North Vancouver engineering consultant left his job to start his own practice, he had two contracts secured and a long list of questions, sole proprietorship or incorporation, how to structure banking, how GST actually worked.

Over a series of planning meetings, we helped him incorporate (saving significant tax as his earnings grew), setting up his GST/Payroll accounts correctly from day one, and built his bookkeeping so he could focus on client work instead of paperwork.

Two years later, his family is paying considerably less tax than before incorporating and he's never had to think twice about whether it's being handled right.

FAQ

Personal Tax Questions We Get Often

When are personal taxes due in Canada?

Individual returns are due April 30. Self-employed individuals and their spouses have until June 15 to file, though any balance owing is still due April 30 to avoid interest.

Do I need a CPA for a simple tax return?

Not always. But if you have self-employment income, rental property, investments, or more than one income source, a CPA can often find savings that offset the cost of professional preparation.
