Gondaliya CPA specializes in accounting and tax services for architects and architecture firms across Canada.

At Gondaliya CPA, we provide affordable, CRA-compliant accounting and tax solutions for architects, helping firms maintain accurate financial records, optimize tax planning, and stay compliant year-round. Our structured approach gives architecture firms the financial clarity they need to focus on creative work, project delivery, and sustainable business growth.

Accounting That Understands Architecture Firms

Running an architecture practice means juggling creative projects with complex financial responsibilities. Gondaliya CPA specializes in accounting and tax services for architects and architecture firms, providing affordable, CRA-compliant solutions tailored to your industry. From project-based billing to payroll and consultant payments, we handle the numbers so you can focus on design, delivery, and growing your firm with confidence.

Project-based revenue and long timelines

Architectural projects often span months or years, with retainers, progress billings, and milestone payments. We ensure revenue is recorded correctly and matches project stages.

Mixed staffing models

Architecture firms commonly use employees, contract designers, consultants, and engineers. We help structure payroll, contractor payments, and T4/T4A reporting properly.

Cost tracking by project

Tracking billable vs non-billable hours, reimbursable expenses, and project profitability is critical. We set up systems that clearly show which projects are driving profit.

Professional liability and overhead costs

We account for insurance, software (AutoCAD, Revit), continuing education, and office overhead accurately—maximizing deductible expenses.

Compliance & Tax Considerations for Architects

HST on architectural services

Most architectural services are HST-taxable. We ensure correct charging, collection, and remittance while claiming eligible input tax credits.

Employee vs contractor classification

Misclassifying designers or consultants can lead to CRA penalties. We help assess and structure relationships correctly.

Corporate tax planning

Whether you operate as a sole practitioner or incorporated firm, we plan corporate taxes to reduce liabilities and improve cash flow.

Accounting Services Tailored for Architects & Architecture Firms

Real, practitioner-level CPA expertise for licensed architects, sole practitioners, multi-partner architecture firms, and design-build companies across Ontario — built for how architecture practices bill project fees, manage WIP, and pay subconsultants across long project cycles.

Corporate Tax Filing for Architects & Architecture Firms

We file your architecture firm T2 return with the WIP election under ITA section 34 so unbilled work-in-progress on long-duration design and construction administration phases is excluded from taxable income until invoiced — a critical election many architecture corporation accountants miss.
We classify plotting equipment and office furniture under CCA Class 8 at 20%, computers running AutoCAD and Revit under Class 50 at 55%, and leasehold improvements under Class 13 on Schedule 8 of your architecture firm T2 return, ensuring each asset claims the correct depreciation rate.
We deduct OAA annual membership fees, Certificate of Practice renewal costs, professional liability insurance premiums, and continuing education expenses on your architecture corporation T2 return under the correct GIFI codes — regulatory costs many architects miss when filing.
Architecture firms paying subconsultant structural engineers, mechanical engineers, or contract architectural technologists must issue T4A slips by February 28 — we prepare all subconsultant T4A summaries alongside your firm's T2 filing to avoid the $25 per day per slip late-filing penalty from CRA.
We reconcile milestone billing against project completion percentages before filing your architecture firm T2 return, ensuring revenue is recognized in the fiscal year the design phase or construction administration work is performed, not when the client pays the retainer — CRA reassesses firms that report on a cash basis when accrual is required.

Accounting & Bookkeeping for Architects & Architecture Firms

We set up project-level tracking in QBO for each architectural engagement so your firm's bookkeeping shows retainer deposits, milestone billings, subconsultant costs, and reimbursable expenses per project — giving you gross margin per job instead of a single blended architecture firm number.
We track work-in-progress by project phase — schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration — in your architecture firm bookkeeping so unbilled billable hours are visible in real time and your WIP aging report drives timely invoicing.
We record intern architect salaries, architectural technologist wages, employer CPP, EI, and WSIB premiums as separate line items in your architecture firm books each pay period so remittance amounts tie exactly to your PD7A filings and year-end T4 summaries.
We separate subconsultant invoices — structural, mechanical, electrical engineers — from your architecture firm's own revenue in your bookkeeping so pass-through consultant fees do not inflate your reported income and your financial statements show actual architecture service revenue at month-end close.
We reconcile accounts receivable from developer and institutional clients with 30-day or 60-day payment terms against your architecture firm aging report monthly, flagging overdue project billings before they become bad debts on your firm's books.

Corporate Tax Planning for Architects & Architecture Firms

We structure your architecture firm owner compensation as a salary-dividend split that keeps active business income under the $500,000 Small Business Deduction threshold, saving your architecture corporation up to 14.3% in combined corporate tax versus the general rate.
OAA allows non-voting shares in your architecture professional corporation, so we add family members and each can access the $1.25M+ Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption through proper tax planning on a future architecture practice sale or goodwill disposition.
We time year-end bonus accruals for associate architects and intern architects so the expense is deductible on your architecture firm T2 in the current fiscal year while the employee reports the bonus on their personal T1 in the following calendar year — a standard deferral strategy for firms with December year-ends.
We calculate quarterly instalment payments for your architecture corporation based on the prior-year method or current-year estimate, whichever is lower, so your firm does not overpay CRA instalments during months between project milestones when no billing is issued.
We evaluate whether your architecture firm should lease or purchase BIM workstations and plotting equipment based on CCA Class 50 depreciation versus lease deduction limits under ITA section 67.3 — whichever method saves your firm more tax given current-year project income levels.

Catch-Up Corporate Tax Filing for Architects & Architecture Firms

If your architecture corporation has two or more years of unfiled T2 returns, CRA can revoke your business number and the OAA may flag your Certificate of Practice — we file all outstanding architecture firm corporate returns and negotiate penalty relief before enforcement begins.
We reconstruct architecture firm revenue from project fee agreements, milestone invoices, and bank deposits when bookkeeping was never completed, building accurate financial statements for each unfiled year so your catch-up T2 returns claim every legitimate subconsultant and overhead deduction.
CRA charges a late-filing penalty of 5% plus 1% per month up to 12 months on each unfiled architecture corporation T2 return — we apply for penalty relief under Taxpayer Relief provisions using Form RC4288 when project deadlines or staffing transitions caused the filing delay.
We identify leasehold improvement costs, BIM workstation purchases, and plotting equipment from prior unfiled years and add them to the correct CCA class on each catch-up T2 return so your architecture firm recovers depreciation deductions that would otherwise be permanently lost.
If CRA issued arbitrary assessments because your architecture corporation never filed, the estimated income is almost always inflated — we replace those numbers with actual project fee invoices, subconsultant costs, and payroll records, reducing the outstanding balance significantly.

GST/HST Filing for Architects & Architecture Firms

Architectural design fees, construction administration services, and project management billings are HST-taxable at 13% in Ontario — we ensure every architecture firm invoice charges HST correctly and file your corporation's GST/HST return on time to avoid the late-remittance penalty.
We claim ITCs on all HST paid on AutoCAD and Revit subscriptions, BIM software licences, office rent, professional liability insurance, and subconsultant invoices on your architecture firm GST/HST return — many firms miss ITCs on plotting supplies and continuing education fees that are recoverable.
Reimbursable expenses your architecture firm bills to clients — printing, courier, travel — are subject to HST if invoiced as part of your taxable supply. We code reimbursable billings correctly on your architecture firm GST/HST return so CRA does not reassess you for uncollected HST on pass-through costs.
We reconcile HST collected on all project milestone billings and retainer invoices against HST remitted to CRA each filing period so your architecture firm GST/HST return balances exactly — discrepancies on long-cycle project billing are a primary CRA audit trigger for architecture practices.
Architectural services delivered to clients outside Canada — international design commissions — are zero-rated for HST. We separate your architecture firm's domestic and export project revenue on each GST/HST return so you do not remit HST on zero-rated international design fees.

Corporate Tax Cleanup for Architects & Architecture Firms

We correct the WIP election under ITA section 34 where your previous accountant failed to exclude unbilled work-in-progress from taxable income on prior architecture firm T2 returns — filing amended returns recovers overpaid corporate tax from years where unbilled design work was incorrectly reported as revenue.
We reclassify subconsultant payments that were incorrectly processed through payroll on past T4 slips, filing amended T4 summaries and issuing corrected T4A slips to avoid CRA reassessing your architecture corporation for employer CPP and EI on those contract engineers and technologists.
We rebuild your architecture firm retained earnings schedule from inception by reconciling every prior-year T2 return, dividends declared, and shareholder loan transactions — eliminating balance sheet discrepancies that CRA flags during architecture corporation reviews.
We correct pass-through subconsultant billing errors where your previous accountant recorded engineer and specialist invoices as architecture firm revenue and expense instead of agent disbursements — this error inflates both revenue and expenses on your architecture corporation T2 returns.
We correct shareholder loan balances where the architecture firm owner withdrew partner draws without proper documentation, applying ITA section 15(2) rules to determine if amounts must be reported as income or structured as bona fide loans with repayment terms.

CRA Audit Resolution for Architects & Architecture Firms

CRA audits architecture firms on subconsultant classification — we defend your T4A independent contractor treatment for contract engineers, designers, and technologists using written subconsultant agreements, proof of own-insurance, and control-test documentation that meets CRA guidelines.
We reconcile every bank deposit against project milestone invoices, retainer payments, and subconsultant reimbursements during a CRA audit, proving that inter-partner transfers, owner contributions, and consultant pass-throughs are not unreported architecture firm revenue.
We defend the WIP exclusion election on your architecture firm CRA audit by presenting time-entry reports, project phase schedules, and billing milestone documentation — CRA includes unbilled WIP in taxable income when no evidence supports the ITA section 34 election.
CRA auditors challenge home office deductions for sole practitioner architects — we present your dedicated workspace square footage calculation, lease documents, and utility bills to defend the business-use percentage claimed on your architecture corporation T2 under ITA section 18(12).
If CRA reassesses your architecture corporation after an audit, we file a Notice of Objection using Form T400A within 90 days and prepare a technical position paper citing ITA sections that support your architecture firm deductions, preventing the reassessed amount from becoming final.

CPA Compilation Report (Notice to Reader) for Architects & Architecture Firms

We prepare CSRS 4200 compilation engagement financial statements for your architecture professional corporation that banks, institutional clients, and the OAA require — a CPA-compiled Notice to Reader carries more weight than internally prepared statements and is often mandatory for practice financing, RFP prequalification submissions, and OAA ownership changes.
Your architecture corporation Notice to Reader includes a compiled balance sheet showing work-in-progress on active design projects, accounts receivable from developer and institutional clients, BIM workstations at net book value, and retained earnings — giving lenders and project owners an accurate snapshot of your firm's financial position prepared by a licensed CPA.
We compile your architecture firm income statement with project fee revenue by phase, subconsultant pass-through costs, intern architect and technologist payroll, and overhead classified under the correct GIFI codes so the Notice to Reader financial statements match your T2 return exactly and satisfy bank or institutional client requirements.
We prepare the CPA compilation report with the required CSRS 4200 communication disclosing that no audit or review has been performed, along with notes to the financial statements covering WIP valuation and the ITA section 34 election, revenue recognition on milestone billing, related-party transactions, and shareholder loan terms — the standard disclosures banks and institutional clients expect on an architecture firm Notice to Reader.
We deliver your architecture corporation Notice to Reader within 30 days of receiving your year-end trial balance — many architecture firms lose RFP prequalification or fail practice financing applications because their previous accountant did not produce CPA-compiled financial statements on time for the client's or lender's submission deadline.

Incorporation Services for Architects & Architecture Firms

Ontario architects must incorporate as a Professional Corporation under OAA regulations with a valid Certificate of Practice before billing clients through the corporation — we handle the OAA application, Ontario incorporation filing, and CRA business number registration as a single package.
We advise licensed architects on the right share structure at incorporation — common shares for the OAA-licensed architect, non-voting shares for family members as permitted by the OAA — so your architecture corporation is set up for income splitting and future practice sale planning from day one.
We register your newly incorporated architecture firm for WSIB coverage where required, and set up payroll source deductions so your first intern architect and technologist payroll remittance to CRA is filed correctly and on time.
We help multi-partner architecture firms incorporate a separate holding company above each partner's professional corporation to receive intercorporate dividends tax-free under ITA section 112(1), separating investment assets from the operating firm's professional liability exposure and project claims.
We prepare your architecture corporation's first-year corporate minute book with articles of incorporation, director resolutions, OAA Certificate of Practice, and share certificates — clients, insurers, and CRA require these documents for project contracts, E&O insurance, and your first T2 filing.

Gondalia CPA is a really genuine and highly recommendable CPA to tax your file especially if you are in GTA or nearby area in Ontario. I filed my last year's tax with them for the very first time and they provided very satisfactory service with maximum possible refund amount.

Yes, most architectural services in Canada are subject to HST. We ensure that your invoices correctly separate taxable and exempt items, and we help you claim eligible input tax credits to reduce your net HST liability. Proper HST handling also keeps your firm compliant with CRA regulations.

Should my architecture firm be incorporated?

Incorporation can provide significant tax planning benefits, such as income splitting and tax deferral opportunities. We evaluate your firm’s size, revenue, and long-term goals to determine whether incorporation is suitable. Incorporating can also help protect your personal assets and improve your professional credibility.

How should revenue from long-term projects be recorded?

Revenue from multi-phase projects should match project completion milestones or percentage-of-completion methods. This ensures your financial statements reflect true progress and profitability. We set up systems so you can track revenue, costs, and margins accurately for each project.

Can Gondaliya CPA work with my current accounting software?

Yes, we integrate with popular platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and project-tracking tools used by architects. Our team will optimize your current setup to improve reporting accuracy and compliance. If needed, we also recommend upgrades for smoother bookkeeping workflows.

How do you handle mixed staffing models?

Architecture firms often use a combination of employees, contractors, and consultants. We help classify each worker correctly for CRA compliance, manage payroll, T4/T4A filings, and reduce risks associated with misclassification. This ensures proper deductions and remittances while avoiding penalties.

How can I maximize tax deductions for my architecture firm?

We identify all eligible business expenses, including software, professional liability insurance, continuing education, office rent, and project-related costs. By strategically categorizing these expenses, we help reduce taxable income while keeping accurate records. Proper documentation also supports CRA audits or reviews.

How often should my firm review its finances with Gondaliya CPA?

We recommend monthly or quarterly financial reviews to track project profitability, cash flow, and tax obligations. Regular reviews allow proactive adjustments for taxes, expenses, or staffing. This keeps your firm financially healthy and ready for growth opportunities.

What happens if I miss filing deadlines for corporate or HST returns?

Late filings can result in interest, penalties, and compliance issues with the CRA. We ensure all filings are timely and accurate, including T2 corporate returns, HST, and payroll remittances. Our proactive monitoring helps prevent missed deadlines and costly mistakes.

How can I improve cash flow in my architecture practice?

We help manage retainers, progress billings, and project reimbursements to ensure consistent cash flow. Properly tracking revenue against project milestones allows you to forecast financial needs and reduce shortfalls. Optimized billing and collections also improve profitability over time.

How do I get started with Gondaliya CPA?
