Our Pricing Transparency Promise: Full and Final Flat Fees, Shown in 2 Minutes
Most accounting firms make you call, book a meeting and wait days to find out what they charge. We do the opposite. Answer a few questions in our pricing calculator and your full and final flat fee appears on screen instantly — it takes a MAXIMUM of two minutes. Flat, full and final fees, no hourly billing and no surprise invoice at the end.
If it suits you, you can hire us in EXACTLY another 5 minutes on the same screen. You can also add or remove services based on your budget and priorities directly in our pricing calculator, and your updated full and final flat fee appears instantly.
Also, once you will hire us, you can select time of Onboarding Meeting of the same day or next day based on your availability.
So, pricing + hiring + Onboarding can be in one day.
Why we publish our fees where anyone can see them
Ask ten accounting firms in Toronto what a corporate tax return costs and you will get ten versions of the same answer: it depends. That answer is not wrong — scope really does change the price — but it is usually a way of avoiding the number until you are already in a meeting.
We do the opposite. You should be able to see the number first, in private, before you give anyone your time. So we put our fees in a calculator and pointed it at the public internet. Anyone can use it: our clients, people shopping around, and the firms we compete with. You tell it what you actually need — corporate tax filing, bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST, incorporation — and your full and final flat fee appears instantly. It takes a maximum of two minutes. Nothing is held back for the meeting.
Publishing the price also hands you control of it. Add or remove services in the calculator based on your budget and your priorities, and the updated full and final flat fee appears instantly. You decide what you are buying, and at what price, before anyone asks you for a commitment — and if the number works, you can hire us in exactly another five minutes on the same screen and pick an onboarding time for the same day or the next day.
Publishing a price is a commitment, not a marketing line. It means we cannot quote one business more than another for the same work, we cannot let a fee drift upward because a file took longer than we planned, and we cannot bill you for asking us a question. That discipline is the entire point.
How the 2-minute quote works, step by step
The pricing calculator is a short online form that shows you your full and final fee. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you open it.
Open the calculator
Go straight to the pricing calculator. Nothing is behind a login, nothing is gated, and there is no obligation to continue.
Tell us about your business
Corporation or sole proprietor, your industry, roughly how many transactions and employees, whether you are registered for GST/HST.
Pick the services you need
Corporate tax filing, bookkeeping, payroll, GST/HST returns, compilation report, incorporation — tick only what applies.
Your fee appears instantly
Your full and final flat fee lands on screen the moment you finish. Start to end, it takes a maximum of two minutes.
Nothing about that number is provisional, and nothing about it is fixed against your wishes. Add or remove services and the updated full and final flat fee appears instantly, so you can shape the engagement around your budget and your priorities before you commit to anything — and try as many combinations as you like in the time it would take another firm to return your first call.
If your situation is unusual — several years of catch-up filing, a holding company, a non-resident shareholder — the calculator still gives you a firm number, and a short conversation settles the detail before anything is signed.
How hiring us takes 5 minutes, step by step
This is how to hire a CPA in 5 minutes. Once your fee is on screen there is no proposal to wait for, no second meeting to schedule and no other website to visit. You hire us on the same screen, in exactly another five minutes.

We get started
All in one day
Pricing, hiring and onboarding can all happen in a single day, at the fee you saw before you committed.
That is the whole path. Final pricing, signing the engagement letter and finalising onboarding take a maximum of 10 minutes and 0 email exchanges, all on the same screen. At a traditional firm the same three steps take 7–10 business days and around 15 emails, and the onboarding meeting itself sits an average of 7 business days out — ours averages 1 business day. Payment is by Interac e-Transfer to info@gondaliyacpa.ca (auto-deposit is enabled, so no security question is needed), and there is no retainer to fund before we start.
What “full and final” actually means
“Flat fee” is a phrase a lot of firms use loosely. Here is the plain-English version of what it means at Gondaliya CPA.
What the fee covers
- Every service you selected in the calculator, done end to end and filed
- Your questions by phone and email while we do it — we do not bill for calls
- HST, already inside the number you saw
- CRA correspondence on the returns we prepared for you
- The tax strategy conversation that comes with being our client
What it does not mean
- It is not a deposit, a retainer or a “starting from” teaser
- It is not an estimate that gets reconciled against hours later
- It is not exclusive of tax — HST is included, not added on
- It does not cover work you have not asked for and not agreed to
- It does not quietly expire if the file takes us longer than we planned
The only thing that changes it
- A change in the services covered — and only one you decide on
- You can add or remove services yourself; the new full and final fee shows instantly
- Example: one year of catch-up filing turns out to be three
- Example: a CRA audit of a year we did not prepare
- Either way, you see the new number before any work starts
If we misjudge the scope and the work turns out bigger than we thought, that is our problem, not your invoice. The number you agreed to is the number you pay.
Traditional CPA firm process vs Gondaliya CPA process
Take the three steps that stand between you and an accountant actually starting work — final pricing, signing the engagement letter, and finalising onboarding. Here is what each of them costs you at a traditional firm, and here is what they cost you with us.
Final pricing + engagement letter signing + onboarding finalisation
and 15 email exchanges
- Quote arrives days after your first call
- Engagement letter goes back and forth by email
- Onboarding meeting: average 7 business days away
- Spread across a dozen inboxes and two weeks of your time
Final pricing + engagement letter signing + onboarding finalisation
and 0 email exchanges — everything on the same screen
- Full and final fee on screen instantly, maximum 2 minutes
- Engagement letter signed on the same screen, in another 5 minutes
- Onboarding meeting: average 1 business day
- No callbacks, no proposal PDFs, no email chain to chase
Nothing below is a criticism of the traditional model — it is simply how most firms have always worked. It is also why getting priced, engaged and onboarded usually takes two weeks instead of ten minutes.
