Yes. Educational institutions deal with tuition revenue, grants, payroll, and compliance rules that differ from regular businesses. A specialized accountant ensures accuracy, transparency, and CRA compliance.

Are tuition fees subject to GST/HST?

Many educational services are exempt, but not all programs qualify. We review your offerings to determine correct tax treatment and avoid CRA issues.

How do you handle grants and government funding?

We track grants separately and ensure funds are recorded and reported correctly. This helps meet funding requirements and audit expectations.

Can you help non-profit or charity-registered schools?

Yes. We support corporations, non-profits, and registered charities with tailored accounting and compliance services.

Do you manage payroll for teachers and instructors?

Absolutely. We handle salaried staff, hourly instructors, and contractors, including T4 and T4A filings.

What records does CRA expect from educational institutions?

CRA expects accurate records of tuition, expenses, payroll, and funding. We maintain clean, organized, audit-ready books.

Can you fix past accounting or tax issues?

Yes. We clean up historical records, correct errors, and amend filings when needed to reduce CRA risk.

Should our institution be incorporated or registered as a non-profit?

The right structure depends on your goals and funding model. We assess your situation and recommend the most suitable structure.
