Why Far Beyond Bookkeeping?
Canadian businesses face unique challenges—from complex tax regulations to multi-provincial operations. I bring the expertise you need to navigate it all.
Deep Canadian Tax Expertise
Running a business in Canada means navigating GST/HST calculations across multiple tax rates, provincial regulations, and constantly changing CRA requirements. I understand these intricacies and ensure your business stays fully compliant while maximizing legitimate tax advantages.
I stay current with CRA guidelines, Canadian accounting standards (ASPE/IFRS), and provincial requirements that affect your business. I don't just record transactions—I ensure your financial records tell the complete story of your operations in a way that makes sense for Canadian tax authorities and your business decisions.
Every Canadian business is different. Whether you're managing multi-provincial operations or navigating industry-specific regulations, my tailored solutions address your specific needs while maintaining consistent, professional standards.

I track input tax credits, ensure proper documentation, and maintain detailed records that withstand CRA scrutiny. Whether you're using the Regular Method or Quick Method, I help optimize your approach for your business model.
I understand timing requirements—monthly, quarterly, or annual filing—and ensure you never miss a deadline. I can also assist with voluntary disclosures if you discover past reporting issues.
Payroll & Remittances
Canadian payroll involves complex calculations for CPP, EI, income tax deductions, and employer contributions. I handle every aspect while ensuring compliance with Employment Insurance, Canada Pension Plan, and income tax regulations.
I process payroll runs, calculate statutory deductions accurately, manage remittances to CRA on schedule, and prepare year-end T4s and T4A slips. I stay current with changing rates and thresholds.
Beyond basic payroll, I help with Employer Health Tax (where applicable), workers' compensation board requirements, and employment standards compliance across provinces.
Record Retention
CRA requires businesses to retain financial records for at least six years, though some industries have longer requirements. I implement organized systems for document storage and retrieval.
I maintain both digital and physical records in compliance with CRA guidelines, ensuring you're prepared for audits, inquiries, or reviews. My systems make finding specific transactions or documents quick and efficient.
Modern cloud-based solutions allow me to store records securely while providing instant access from anywhere. I help you transition from paper-heavy systems to streamlined digital workflows.
Audit Preparation
The prospect of a CRA audit creates stress for any business. I ensure your records are audit-ready at all times, reducing anxiety and potential issues.
I conduct internal reviews to identify and address potential issues before they become problems. If your business is selected for audit, I provide comprehensive support, documentation, and representation of your financial records.
I understand CRA audit procedures and help you navigate the process smoothly. I've helped numerous businesses through audits with minimal disruption and positive outcomes.

Professional Services
Consultants, lawyers, accountants, and other professionals need bookkeeping that tracks billable hours, project expenses, and client retainers. I specialize in professional service firm financial management.
Construction & Trades
Construction companies deal with complex job costing, progress billing, subcontractor payments, and HST on new housing. I manage these complexities while ensuring compliance with construction-specific tax rules.
Retail & E-commerce
Retail businesses need inventory management, sales tracking, and point-of-sale integration. I help e-commerce companies with multi-channel sales, payment gateway reconciliation, and cross-border transactions.
Healthcare & Medical
Medical practices, clinics, and healthcare providers have unique billing systems, insurance reimbursements, and regulatory requirements. I understand healthcare-specific financial management and compliance.
