Accounting That Understands Cleaning Companies

Seasonal demand can cause cash flow to rise and fall throughout the year, while under-pricing jobs or not tracking costs closely can quietly reduce profit. Without clear financial reporting and tax planning, business owners are often left guessing how much they are truly earning and what they need to set aside for taxes. Our accounting services are built to bring clarity, consistency, and control to your cleaning business finances so you can grow with confidence and avoid year-end stress.

Messy or late bookkeeping and invoicing

We organize your records and ensure invoices are accurate and sent on time.

Unclear profit per job, crew, or contract

We track costs properly so you know which work is actually profitable.

Confusion around HST and subcontractor payments

We help you apply the right tax treatment and stay CRA-compliant.

No plan for tax instalments and year-end bills

We plan ahead so tax payments are predictable and manageable.

Stay Compliant While You Grow Your Cleaning Business

Business Structure and Registration

Choosing between a sole proprietorship and a corporation affects how much tax you pay and your personal risk. We help cleaning business owners decide when incorporation makes sense and ensure all required CRA and provincial registrations are set up correctly from the start.

HST, Payroll, and Subcontractors

We guide you on when to register for HST, how to charge and report it properly on cleaning invoices, and how to manage payroll for employees or payments to subcontractors. Proper classification and record-keeping help you avoid penalties and issues if CRA reviews your business.

Year-End Financials and Tax Returns

We prepare T1 business schedules for unincorporated cleaners or T2 corporate tax returns for incorporated businesses, along with clean financial statements. These reports support financing, leasing, and planning so there are no surprises at tax time.

Cleaning businesses deal with mobile crews, multiple jobs per day, mixed payroll structures, and HST obligations. Gondaliya CPA understands these challenges and helps keep your books accurate, tax-efficient, and CRA-compliant year-round.

Do cleaning businesses need to register for HST in Canada?

Most cleaning services are taxable, and registration is required once revenue exceeds the CRA threshold. We help cleaning business owners determine when to register, charge HST correctly, and file on time to avoid penalties.

How should cleaning companies track expenses and receipts?

Fuel, supplies, equipment, and subcontractor payments must be tracked consistently. Gondaliya CPA sets up systems that capture expenses properly so you never miss deductions or struggle at tax time.

What is the difference between employees and subcontractors for cleaning businesses?

Misclassifying workers can lead to CRA penalties and payroll reassessments. We help you apply CRA rules correctly and set up payroll or subcontractor reporting the right way.

Can a cleaning business reduce taxes by incorporating?

Incorporation may lower taxes and provide better planning opportunities, depending on your income level and growth plans. Gondaliya CPA reviews your situation and advises when incorporation makes financial sense.

What tax returns do cleaning business owners need to file?

Unincorporated cleaners file a T1 with business schedules, while incorporated companies file a T2 corporate return. Gondaliya CPA prepares the correct filings and plans ahead to prevent year-end surprises.

Do you manage payroll for cleaning staff?

Yes. We handle payroll for both employees and contract cleaners, including tax remittances and year-end forms.

Can you help with GST/HST filing?

Absolutely. We manage your GST/HST reporting to ensure compliance and timely filing.

Do you work with franchised cleaning businesses?

Yes. We provide scalable accounting solutions for independent cleaners, franchise owners, and multi-location operations.
