Accounting That Understands Tech Businesses

Working with accountants who understand the tech industry ensures that financial systems are tailored to the company’s unique structure. This expertise allows business owners to focus on growth and innovation while maintaining accurate records, meeting regulatory requirements, and planning strategically for taxes and funding opportunities.

Unclear Revenue & Cash Flow

Mixed income streams make forecasting and planning difficult.

Contractor & Payroll Issues

Managing employees, contractors, and stock compensation can create compliance risks.

Grants & R&D Confusion

Complex rules may lead to missed tax benefits.

Investor-Ready Financials Missing

Reporting is not optimized for funding or financing needs.

Stay Compliant While You Scale

Corporate Structure and Ownership

Choosing the right corporate structure and understanding ownership stakes is essential for tax planning and long-term growth. Incorporation provides liability protection and potential tax advantages, while founder ownership percentages and basic equity considerations influence decision-making and future investment opportunities.

GST/HST, Payroll, and Cross-Border Activity

Tech companies need to know when to register for GST/HST and how to handle payroll for local staff. Additionally, serving international clients can introduce cross-border tax considerations that impact reporting and compliance. Staying on top of these obligations prevents penalties and ensures your business operates efficiently across multiple markets.

Year-End Financials and Tax Filings

Preparing accurate year-end financial statements is critical for corporate tax filing (T2 returns), securing bank financing, attracting investors, and planning for tax instalments. Timely and precise reporting helps business owners make informed strategic decisions while remaining compliant with CRA regulations.

Accounting Services Tailored for Tech Companies

Real, practitioner-level CPA expertise for SaaS companies, software firms, IT service providers, and tech startups across Ontario — built for how tech businesses actually raise, build, and scale.

1

Corporate Tax Filing for Tech Companies

  • We file your tech company's T2 return with SR&ED eligible R&D expenditures identified and separated on Schedule 1 so your claim is positioned for the maximum refundable investment tax credit under ITA section 127.3 for CCPCs.
  • SaaS subscription revenue must be recognized on an accrual basis on your tech company T2 return — annual prepayments from customers are deferred revenue, not current-year income.
  • We classify server hardware and networking equipment under CCA Class 50 on Schedule 8, and proprietary software development costs under Class 12.
  • IRAP contributions received by your tech company must be recorded as government assistance, reducing the cost base of related R&D expenditures.
  • Developer compensation paid as salary must be reported on T4 slips and reconciled against the deduction on Schedule 1.
2

Accounting & Bookkeeping for Tech Companies

  • We set up your tech company bookkeeping chart of accounts to separate SaaS subscription revenue, one-time license fees, and professional services income.
  • We reconcile Stripe, PayPal, and payment processor deposits against bank records monthly in your tech company bookkeeping.

  • For tech companies with contractors and freelance developers, we track each contractor's invoices and prepare T4A slips.
  • We configure your tech company bookkeeping in QBO or Xero with bank feed automation.
3

Corporate Tax Planning for Tech Companies

  • We monitor your tech company's passive investment income annually to preserve the Small Business Deduction.
  • For tech companies with multiple co-founders, we plan intercorporate structures using holding companies.
  • We model salary versus dividend splits for tech company founders based on active income levels.
4

Catch-Up Corporate Tax Filing for Tech Companies

  • If your tech company has unfiled T2 returns, we file all outstanding years and negotiate penalty relief.
  • We prepare nil returns for pre-revenue tech corporations with missing filings.
  • We reconstruct missing tech company revenue from Stripe dashboards and bank deposits.
  • Late tech company filing penalties compound monthly — we prioritize the oldest years first.
  • We review unfiled periods for missed CCA deductions on hardware and leasehold improvements.
5

GST/HST Filing for Tech Companies

  • SaaS subscription revenue earned by your tech company is taxable at 13% HST in Ontario.
  • We claim ITCs on taxable tech company overhead including AWS, Azure, GCP, and coworking expenses.
  • Tech companies receiving IRAP or SR&ED funding must not overclaim ITCs on reimbursed expenditures.
  • Voluntary GST/HST registration lets pre-revenue tech startups recover ITCs on startup costs.

Corporate Tax Cleanup for Tech Companies

  • For tech startups seeking financing, we reconcile Stripe and subscription platform revenue to bank deposits.
  • We prepare financial statements with properly classified deferred revenue, shareholder loans, SAFE notes, and convertible debt.
  • Our CPA compilation report service helps tech companies maintain lender- and investor-ready year-end financial statements.
  • We adjust misclassified software subscriptions, hosting expenses, and equipment purchases before issuing the compilation report.
