Cafes straddle grocery and restaurant tax treatment within a metre of counter space. Prepared food and beverages for immediate consumption are taxable, but packaged basic groceries and baked goods sold in quantities of six or more are zero-rated, so the same croissant is taxed differently depending on how many are bought and how they are served. Cafes are also cash and tip heavy, which makes point-of-sale discipline the difference between a defensible return and a reconstructed one.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
The recurring ones are capital cost allowance on equipment placed in service late in the year, the business-use portion of vehicle and home-office costs, and professional development. Each is defensible when documented at the time and difficult to defend when reconstructed later.
Corporate tax filing starts at $90 and bookkeeping at $10 per month, quoted as a fixed fee before work begins. Sector complexity does not trigger a surcharge. Review the full price list.
Registration is mandatory once taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive quarters. Registering voluntarily below that threshold is often worthwhile, because it lets you recover input tax credits on startup and equipment purchases.
Incorporation usually pays off once profit consistently exceeds what you draw personally, because retained earnings are taxed at the small business rate rather than your marginal rate. Below that point the added compliance cost often outweighs the benefit. We model both before you decide.
The CRA requires six years of books and records from the end of the tax year they relate to: invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and contracts. Digital copies are acceptable provided they are legible and complete.
We run the cycle, remit source deductions on schedule, and issue T4s ahead of the February deadline. Late remittances draw a penalty of up to 10% and repeat lateness raises it to 20%, so timing is the whole game. See our payroll service.
Yes. We work in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Sage, spreadsheets, and plain scanned documents. You are not required to migrate systems to become a client, and we never charge a conversion fee.
Multi-province operations allocate taxable income by permanent establishment and payroll, and sales tax rules differ by jurisdiction. We handle the allocation schedules and the differing GST, HST, PST and QST obligations in one engagement.
Our Pay After Service model means you review and approve all deliverables before making any payment. We prepare your returns or financial files, you review them, and only then do you pay. This ensures 100% satisfaction.
