Because your books, tax and payroll live in one place, nothing falls through the cracks.

No hourly billing.

Accounting & Tax Services Tailored for Small Businesses

Each service, explained in full, so you know exactly what is included and how it keeps your business compliant and your tax as low as the rules allow.

  • We file your equipment, computers and vehicles under the correct CCA classes (Class 8, 10 and 50) on separate pools of your small business T2 corporate tax return to maximize depreciation deductions each fiscal year.
  • We reconcile subcontractor and associate payments against T4A slips before filing your corporate tax return, so CRA matching does not flag discrepancies between what your business reported and what each contractor received.
  • We apply the Accelerated Investment Incentive on new equipment and machinery purchases on Schedule 8, claiming an enhanced first-year CCA write-off to reduce the corporate tax your small business owes in the year of acquisition.
  • We map software subscriptions, licence fees and technology costs to the correct GIFI codes on your T2 return so CRA’s automated matching system does not flag your small business expenses for review.
  • We apply the small business deduction, loss carryforwards and every eligible credit on your T2 return so your corporation pays the lowest legal tax rate and stays fully CRA-compliant.
  • We reconcile sales and collections from your POS or invoicing system against bank deposits every month, so no revenue goes unrecorded in your small business bookkeeping — a mismatch between sales reports and bank records is a common CRA audit trigger.
  • We track supplier and vendor invoices against purchase orders in your accounts payable, ensuring expenses in your bookkeeping tie to real transactions and nothing is double-entered or missed at month-end.
  • We set up separate revenue accounts in your chart of accounts for each income stream — product sales, service fees, retainers and online payments — so every stream reconciles independently in QuickBooks or Xero each month.
  • We categorize consumable supplies separately from capital equipment purchases in your bookkeeping, so your small business overhead reporting is accurate and CCA claims are not inflated on day-to-day supplies.
  • We configure your accounting in Xero or QuickBooks Online to track departments or product lines as separate cost centres, giving you clear visibility on profitability without manual spreadsheet tracking.
  • We structure family members as non-voting shareholders in your corporation so you can multiply access to the $1.25M Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption on a future business sale through proactive tax planning.
  • We model salary-versus-dividend splits for owner-managers based on your corporation’s active income, targeting the $500,000 small business deduction threshold while maximizing personal RRSP contribution room and CPP planning.
  • We time major equipment purchases and leasehold buildouts before your corporation’s fiscal year-end to trigger Accelerated CCA as part of your annual small business tax planning strategy.
  • Our corporate tax planning includes annual passive investment income monitoring to keep your business below the $50,000 threshold that claws back the small business deduction, preserving the 12.2% combined rate on active income.
  • For owners with more than one company, we plan intercorporate management fees and holding-company structures, ensuring the fees are at fair market value and deductible without CRA challenge.
  • If your corporation has two or more years of unfiled T2 returns, CRA can revoke your business number and issue arbitrary assessments — we file all outstanding catch-up corporate tax returns and negotiate penalty relief.
  • We reconstruct missing revenue from invoices, merchant statements and bank deposits when your catch-up corporate tax filing requires financial statements for years where bookkeeping was never completed.
  • Late corporate tax filing penalties compound at 5% plus 1% per month on unpaid tax — our catch-up filing service prioritizes the oldest year first to stop this accumulation and restore your small business to CRA compliance.
  • For businesses that fell behind during growth or an ownership change, we rebuild sales and expense data from QuickBooks or Xero exports to prepare accurate catch-up T2 returns for every unfiled year.
  • We review unfiled periods for missed CCA deductions on equipment and leasehold improvements, so your catch-up returns claim every legitimate deduction instead of just reporting income and paying maximum tax.
  • We determine whether each of your products and services is taxable, zero-rated or exempt under the Excise Tax Act and separate them on your GST/HST return to avoid CRA reassessments on mixed-supply revenue.
  • We claim input tax credits (ITCs) on taxable business overhead — supplies, software subscriptions, professional fees and equipment maintenance — that many small businesses miss on their GST/HST return each period.
  • We compare the Quick Method against the regular method on your HST return, choosing the option that minimizes what your small business remits and puts more cash back into the business.
  • For businesses near the $30,000 small-supplier threshold, we monitor taxable revenue to determine the exact quarter you must register for GST/HST, preventing a retroactive CRA assessment of uncollected tax.
  • We allocate ITCs proportionally between taxable and exempt revenue on your GST/HST return using CRA’s prescribed methods, so you recover the maximum credit without overclaiming on mixed-use expenses.
  • We correct misclassified CCA pools where previous accountants lumped different asset classes together, recovering years of lost depreciation deductions on your small business corporate tax cleanup.
  • Our corporate tax cleanup reconciles historical sales against T2 reported revenue for each prior year, identifying discrepancies that could trigger CRA matching reviews and correcting them through amended returns.
  • Where owner and contractor payments were inconsistently reported as salary versus contractor fees, we reclassify and amend T4 and T4A slips as part of your corporate tax cleanup to match CRA records.
  • We rebuild the shareholder loan account on Schedule 50 where owner draws, personal expenses and reimbursements were never separated, preventing ITA subsection 15(2) taxable-benefit income inclusions during cleanup.
  • Our cleanup fixes retained earnings carryforward errors on Schedule 100 caused by changing accountants, ensuring your balance sheet matches the actual equity position for lenders and financing reviews.
  • Small businesses face frequent CRA audits on contractor classification — we defend your T4A independent-contractor treatment using proper engagement agreements and control-test documentation for CRA audit resolution.
  • When CRA questions revenue discrepancies between your T2 return and third-party data, we reconcile every statement and prepare a documented response as part of your small business CRA audit resolution.
  • We respond to CRA payroll record requests by presenting PD7A reconciliations, T4 summaries and remittance documentation in an organized audit package that demonstrates full payroll compliance.
  • For businesses flagged on HST treatment, we prepare CRA audit resolution submissions showing the proper split between exempt and taxable revenue using your sales and accounting records.
  • We submit RC4288 Taxpayer Relief requests as part of CRA audit resolution when penalties resulted from a previous accountant’s errors, documenting the circumstances to maximize penalty cancellation.
  • We prepare CSRS 4200 compilation engagement financial statements for your small business corporation that banks and lenders require — a CPA-compiled Notice to Reader carries more weight than internally prepared statements and is often mandatory for business loans, equipment financing and acquisitions.
  • Your Notice to Reader includes a compiled balance sheet showing receivables, equipment at net book value, leasehold improvements, shareholder loan balances and retained earnings, giving lenders an accurate snapshot of your small business’s financial position.
  • We compile your income statement with sales revenue, cost of goods sold, payroll and operating expenses classified under the correct GIFI codes, so the Notice to Reader financial statements match your T2 return exactly and satisfy lender requirements.
  • We prepare the CPA compilation report with the required CSRS 4200 communication disclosing that no audit or review was performed, plus notes covering revenue recognition, related-party transactions and shareholder loan terms.
  • We deliver your Notice to Reader within 30 days of receiving your year-end trial balance, so you never lose access to a credit line or delay a financing close because CPA-compiled statements were late.
  • We handle the full incorporation process for your Ontario or federal small business, including the NUANS name search, articles of incorporation and initial registrations, so you can start billing through the corporation quickly.
  • We design a multi-class share structure at incorporation — voting shares for the owner, non-voting shares for family members — to support future income splitting and estate planning without a costly articles amendment later.
  • As part of incorporation, we register your corporation for a CRA Business Number, GST/HST account and payroll account so your small business is CRA-compliant from the first day of operations.
  • We prepare the opening balance sheet and minute book for your corporation, including director resolutions, share certificates and the shareholder register, so your corporate records are complete and compliant.
  • For owners moving from a sole proprietorship, we coordinate the ITA section 85 rollover of business assets — equipment, goodwill and inventory — into the new corporation at elected amounts to defer capital gains and recapture.

Small Business Accounting & Tax FAQs

How much does small business accounting cost?
Our small business accounting is billed as an AFFORDABLE flat fee, never hourly, so you always know the cost up front. Monthly bookkeeping starts at $150/month and includes your HST filing and T2 corporate tax return FREE. Full-service payroll is from $125/month, and a stand-alone T2 corporate tax return starts at $400. Notice to Reader (NTR) financial statements start at $250/year. Your exact fee depends on transaction volume, the number of bank accounts, payroll frequency and how far behind your bookkeeping is. Because everything is a fixed fee, there are no billing surprises at year-end. For a precise quote in under two minutes, use our fee calculator. Know Your Exact Fee → See also our Pricing Transparency Promise, which explains exactly what “full and final” means.
What is included in your full-service package?
Our full-service package brings your bookkeeping, corporate tax, HST/GST, payroll and financial statements together under one CPA firm on one system. Each month we reconcile your accounts, categorize transactions and deliver a Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet you can actually read. At year-end we prepare your NTR financial statements and file your T2 corporate tax return, applying the small business deduction and Capital Cost Allowance to lower your tax. We also handle HST filing, payroll remittances, T4/T5 slips and CRA correspondence. Because everything runs on the same reconciled data, nothing falls through the cracks between separate providers, and your tax planning is based on real numbers. Small Business Accountant →
Do you use QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes, QuickBooks Online and Xero are our two primary cloud accounting platforms, and cloud setup is included for new bookkeeping clients. We connect your bank and credit-card feeds, build a chart of accounts tailored to your industry, and add receipt-capture tools such as Hubdoc or Dext for paperless records. Cloud accounting keeps your books current, lets your CPA and your team see the same real-time numbers, and makes your HST filing and year-end T2 corporate tax return faster and more accurate. If you already use another accounting system, we can either work within it or migrate your data across cleanly. QuickBooks Setup →
Can you catch up my books if I’m behind?
Absolutely — catch-up bookkeeping and past-account cleanup are among our most requested services, starting from $499. We reconcile prior months or years, rebuild missing records, categorize every transaction and prepare accurate financial statements. From there we file any overdue T2 corporate tax returns and late HST returns, and where penalties apply we pursue CRA penalty relief on your behalf. Getting current protects you from arbitrary assessments and daily compounding interest, and sets you up for clean monthly bookkeeping going forward. Most catch-up engagements are completed within a few weeks of receiving your documents. Catch-Up Bookkeeping →
Do you handle my HST filing too?
Yes. We manage GST/HST from registration through filing on your quarterly or annual schedule. Every eligible input tax credit (ITC) is tracked and claimed so you recover the HST you pay on business purchases, and we compare the Quick Method against the regular method to minimize what you remit — a choice that often saves service businesses real money. Filing on time keeps you clear of CRA interest and penalties. For monthly bookkeeping clients, HST filing is included FREE, because your reconciled books already contain everything the return needs. We also review whether your revenue means you must register for HST. HST Filing →
Can you run my payroll?
Yes, full-service payroll starts at $125/month. We process pay runs with the correct CPP, EI and income-tax deductions, remit source deductions to CRA on schedule, set up direct deposit for you and your team, and issue T4, T4A and T5 slips by the February 28 deadline. We also handle WSIB reporting and keep your CRA payroll account compliant, so a missed or late remittance never turns into a 10% penalty. Running payroll properly also supports your salary-dividend planning, since salary is what creates RRSP room and CPP entitlement for owners. Payroll Services →
Should I pay myself salary or dividends?
For most incorporated owners the best answer is a mix of both, and we model it for you every year. Salary creates RRSP contribution room and CPP entitlement and is deductible to the corporation, while dividends are simpler and can reduce CPP premiums. The optimal split depends on your income level, RRSP room, personal tax bracket and cash-flow needs, and it interacts with the small business deduction and any family shareholders, where TOSI rules must be checked. Getting owner compensation right is one of the biggest levers in small business tax planning, and we revisit it before every year-end. Tax Planning →
What is the T2 filing deadline?
Your T2 corporate tax return is due six months after your corporation’s fiscal year-end. For a December 31 year-end, that means the T2 is due June 30. Any corporate tax owing, however, is due earlier — generally two months after year-end, or three months if your corporation qualifies for the small business deduction. Filing late triggers a penalty of 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, and more for repeat late filers, while interest compounds daily. That is why we always file well ahead of the deadline. Remember that even a nil return with no income must still be filed on time. T2 Filing →
Do you work with sole proprietors, not just corporations?
Yes. Alongside our corporate clients we look after self-employed individuals, freelancers and contractors, including bookkeeping and T2125 self-employment schedules on your personal T1 return. We also handle GST/HST for sole proprietors and advise on the right time to incorporate — the point where the tax deferral from the small business deduction, liability protection and income-splitting outweigh the added cost of a corporation. If incorporating makes sense for you, we handle the setup and transition your bookkeeping across seamlessly, then keep your corporate tax and payroll compliant year after year. Self-Employed →
How do I get started with Gondaliya CPA?
Getting started is simple. Book a free, no-obligation consultation online or call 647-212-9559, and we will review your bookkeeping, CRA account status, corporate structure and current tax position. You receive a fixed-fee quote before any work begins, with no hourly surprises. Once you approve, we onboard you onto QuickBooks or Xero, confirm your prior balances and CRA program accounts, and take over your monthly bookkeeping, HST, payroll and year-end T2 corporate tax filing. Every engagement is backed by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee and 60-Day Fees-Matching Policy. Book Free Consultation →
What is the small business deduction (SBD) and how does it lower my corporate tax?
The small business deduction (SBD) is the single biggest tax break available to a Canadian-Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC). It reduces the combined federal and Ontario corporate tax rate to roughly 12.2% on the first $500,000 of active business income, versus about 26.5% on income above that threshold. On a full $500,000 of income that is tens of thousands of dollars in savings each year. We protect your access to the SBD through salary and bonus planning, Capital Cost Allowance claims, and by monitoring passive investment income, which starts to grind down the SBD once it passes $50,000. Associated corporations must share the single $500,000 limit. Corporate Tax Planning →
What business expenses can my small business deduct?
Your corporation can deduct any reasonable expense incurred to earn business income, and claiming them all is central to lowering your corporate tax. Common deductions include rent, utilities, software subscriptions, professional fees, insurance, advertising, bank charges, and a portion of vehicle and home-office costs based on business use. Capital purchases such as equipment, computers and vehicles are written off over time through Capital Cost Allowance (CCA), often accelerated in the first year. Solid monthly bookkeeping is what captures these deductions and backs them up with receipts if CRA ever asks. We review your accounts every year so nothing eligible is left on the table. Bookkeeping →
Do I need to file a corporate tax return if my business had no income?
Yes. Every incorporated business in Canada must file a T2 corporate tax return each year, even with no income, no activity or a loss — this is called a nil return. Skipping it leads to CRA demand-to-file letters and can eventually trigger an arbitrary assessment, plus loss of good standing. Filing also lets you carry non-capital losses forward up to 20 years to offset future profits, which is valuable for startups and businesses in early or slow years. We prepare nil and loss-year T2 returns at our standard AFFORDABLE flat fee so your corporation stays compliant and preserves those losses. T2 Filing →
What records and documents do I need for my year-end?
For a smooth year-end and accurate T2 filing we typically need your bank and credit-card statements for the full fiscal year, loan and mortgage statements, sales invoices and expense receipts, payroll records and any T4/T5 slips issued, your HST filings, and details of any asset purchases or sales. If you are on our monthly bookkeeping, most of this is already reconciled and ready, so year-end is fast and stress-free. Clean records also make your NTR financial statements more reliable for lenders and investors and protect you in a CRA review or audit. Every client gets a simple year-end checklist to follow. Year-End Accounting →
How can a small business accountant help me save on taxes?
A proactive small business accountant usually saves you far more than the fee. We keep your corporate income within the small business deduction threshold, optimize your salary-dividend mix for RRSP room and CPP savings, and maximize Capital Cost Allowance and every eligible deduction so you never overpay. We plan bonuses and equipment purchases before year-end, recover HST input tax credits, and keep your filings on time to avoid penalties and interest. As you grow we add cash-flow forecasting and holding-company tax planning. Because we also do your bookkeeping and payroll, our advice is based on your real numbers, not estimates. Tax Planning →
