• Most Bookkeepers charge by the hour - they have no incentive to be more efficient
• Most Bookkeepers cannot prepare and file your Corporate Tax Returns; you have to go elsewhere, costing you more money

Get professional prepared cash flow projections and determine the viability of your business before it is too late.

One of the greatest myths in the small business community is that a CPA or large accounting firm must complete your Corporate Tax Return and Financial Statements each year; nothing could be further from the truth!

This myth, can end up costing your business thousands of dollars in unnecessary fees each year.

Establishing the proper structure for your business, before you start your business is extremely important!

In fact, if you fail to establish the proper structure in the beginning, it can be very difficult to change later and it could end up costing you thousands of dollars annually in taxes. Our Services are all available at a very low, affordable price, generally at a fraction of the cost that others charge.

Sure, there are lots of ‘do it yourself’ incorporation services out there, but do they give you advice and guidance based upon your personal tax situation?

• Should you register for GST?
• Do you need a payroll deductions account?
• Do you need a municipal business license?
• Do you need to register for Provincial Health Taxes?
• Should you incorporate because ‘your neighbour told you to’?

All of these items should be considered BEFORE you incorporate your business!

The greatest asset of your business walks in the door at 9:00am; unfortunately, the greatest liability your business has also walks in the door at 9:00am.

Ensuring your employees are paid on time and accurately is very important to the success of your business and your local Ledgers Professional will work with you to ensure that you are meeting the requirements of the Provincial Employment Standards Act.
