Questions, answered in plain language
The things people actually ask us — before they become clients, and after. Can't find yours? Ask us directly.
Your T4s and other income slips, RRSP contribution receipts, childcare and medical receipts, last year's notice of assessment if you have it, and your SIN. Don't worry if something's missing — we'll send you a checklist when you book and help track down the rest.
April 30 for most individuals. If you or your spouse are self-employed, the filing deadline extends to June 15 — but any balance owing is still due April 30. Filing late with a balance owing means penalties and interest, so book early.
Once your taxable sales pass $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters, registration is mandatory. Many businesses register earlier voluntarily to claim input tax credits. We can tell you which side of the line you're on in a free consultation.
A bookkeeper records your day-to-day transactions and keeps your records tidy. An accountant uses those records to file taxes, plan, and advise. We do both — so your books and your tax return always agree with each other.
Yes — it happens more often than you'd think, and there's no judgement here. We'll file your missing returns, deal with the CRA on your behalf, and in many cases we can request relief from penalties through the voluntary disclosure program.
Don't ignore it, and don't reply before we look at it. Bring the letter (or a photo of it) to us. Most CRA letters are routine review requests — we identify what's needed, gather the documents, and respond for you.
Most of our clients are local, but we work with Ontario businesses anywhere by video and secure document upload. In-person meetings are available in the Windsor–Essex area.
Sample pricing starts at $120 for a straightforward return. Returns with rental income, self-employment, or investments cost more — you'll always get a fixed quote before we start, so there are no surprises.
Absolutely. We'll coordinate the handover with your previous accountant, move your records over, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. There's no setup fee for switching to us.
Our team works in English, and we can arrange support for French, Hindi and Gujarati conversations on request. Let us know when you book and we'll match you with the right person.
