Pricing

GST/HST filing is quoted separately from monthly bookkeeping. The price depends on your filing frequency, the condition of your records and whether any returns are past due, and it is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you file GST/HST returns with the CRA?
Yes. I prepare and file GST/HST returns with the CRA, based on the books I keep for you and your reporting period — annual, quarterly or monthly.
Is GST/HST filing included in monthly bookkeeping?
No. GST/HST return preparation and filing is quoted separately. Monthly bookkeeping keeps the records the return is prepared from current and reconciled.
I'm behind on my GST/HST returns. Can you help?
Yes. Past-due returns are quoted separately. We first review which periods are outstanding and get the bookkeeping for those periods in order, then prepare the returns.
Do you prepare personal or corporate income tax returns?
No. Personal (T1) and corporate (T2) income tax returns are not offered. Every monthly plan includes a year-end accountant package for your tax preparer.
