Accounting & Bookkeeping

The whole back office, or only the parts you would rather not do. Sized to the business you actually have.

Nobody starts a business to do bookkeeping.

Energy goes into sales and operations - especially early on - and the back office is what quietly slips. We pick up as much or as little of it as you want: the full function, or a single piece that keeps getting away from you.

01

Bookkeeping

Day-to-day records kept current and reconciled, monthly or quarterly, so nothing has to be reconstructed at year end.

02

Payroll

Payroll run, remittances made, and year-end slips prepared - on schedule, every period.

03

GST / HST reporting

Returns prepared and filed on your reporting cycle, with the numbers traced back to the books.

Bookkeeping services in Mississauga

Current books, visible questions.

Bookkeeping services in Mississauga should do more than produce a folder at year end. The books need to show what happened while the transactions can still be understood. When records fall behind, the problem is not only untidy accounts. HST figures become harder to trace, payroll deadlines become easier to miss, and year-end work turns into reconstruction.

Taxplan provides bookkeeping, payroll and GST/HST reporting for businesses that want the full back office handled or only the part that keeps slipping. Bookkeeping can be maintained and reconciled monthly or quarterly. Payroll and GST/HST work can be aligned with the reporting cycle. The right scope depends on the business you actually run, not a package designed for everyone. Before work starts, we need to understand the volume of records, the current state of the books and which responsibilities you want to keep.

Clean books do not guarantee that every tax question disappears. They do make the questions visible sooner and give the return a record it can be traced back to. If your books are current, year end is a review. If they are not, year end becomes an investigation. That is the difference the service is meant to address.

Hand over the part you dread.

Tell us which bit of the back office is eating your week and we will scope what it costs to take it off you.

Common questions

Asked about this all the time.

What do you need for a corporate tax return?
Start with the corporation's bookkeeping records, year-end bank and credit-card statements, sales and expense support, payroll information, GST/HST filings, prior corporate return and any CRA correspondence. The exact list depends on what the corporation did during the year. A sale, loan, new shareholder, asset purchase or related company may require additional records, so mention changes even if no document has been requested yet.
What should I do if I receive a letter from the CRA?
Do not ignore it, and do not answer from memory. Read the full letter, note any response date, and send all pages for review, including schedules or reference numbers. A CRA letter may be a routine request, a reassessment or something that needs a formal response. The wording matters. First identify what the CRA is asking for, then decide what records and explanation belong in the reply.
