A fractional CFO typically costs a fraction of a $200,000-plus full-time hire while still covering forecasting, banking and pricing decisions. Because the fee is fixed and economical, the economics stay predictable whether your file is simple or messy.
Before you hand business valuation coordination to anyone, it is worth knowing what the work actually turns on.
The first thing worth pinning down is this: Gross margin by product or service line, not overall revenue, is what tells an owner which work to take more of. A business can grow revenue and lose money at the same time.
That rule rarely travels alone; alongside it sits another: A rolling thirteen-week cash-flow forecast is the single most-used tool in advisory work. It is what shows whether payroll is safe through a slow quarter. It beats an annual budget in every month that matters. Ask what a reviewer will want to see, and the answer sits in this rule: A small corporation still carries the full compliance set: T2, GST/HST, payroll, and the annual return with the incorporating jurisdiction. The annual corporate return is separate from the T2 and is the one most often forgotten, which can lead to administrative dissolution.
What this means in practice: the rules themselves are public, but applying them to your situation is where an income tax specialist earns the fee. Two files can read the same rules and land in very different places. Think of this list as the raw material an income tax specialist works from on business valuation coordination.
Our terms are the same for every engagement: a fixed fee agreed before work begins, a full review with you before filing, and payment only after the service is complete.

12 months of records at a corporation approaching a covenant test date in Edmonton, Alberta had never been reconciled. That left a covenant breach discovered only when the bank called. Rebuilding recovered $5,700.
Nothing reconciled at a corporation approaching a covenant test date in Edmonton, Alberta. Every filing started with 12 months of cleanup. The file was carrying a covenant breach discovered only when the bank called. We rebuilt from source rather than correcting on top of the existing file. We modelled the covenant ratios monthly and restructured the debt before the next test date rather than after it. Then we set the routine that keeps it clean. 12 months reconciled to the bank. The close now takes 6 days, and $5,700 of previously unclaimable input tax was recovered in the process.
Collections had begun against a company hiring its first finance staff in Red Deer, Alberta over 6 years of unfiled returns. Bringing them current cut $68,000 from the balance.
By the time a company hiring its first finance staff in Red Deer, Alberta called, 6 years were outstanding. The CRA had assessed on estimates. Underneath it sat a borrowing drawn for an unrelated personal purchase with the interest claimed against the business. We reconstructed the records year by year. We built a rolling thirteen-week cash-flow model, tightened collections, and renegotiated supplier terms so the growth stopped consuming the bank balance. Each filing replaced an arbitrary assessment with a real one. The account is current. Filing on real numbers rather than CRA estimates reduced the balance by $68,000, and a relief application addressed part of the accumulated interest.
A mid-sized professional services firm in Ottawa, Ontario was scaling. The growth exposed an owner making hiring decisions on last quarter’s bank balance. The back office was rebuilt to match, freeing $82,000.
A mid-sized professional services firm in Ottawa, Ontario was opening in a second province. That meant different filing obligations and a different payroll regime. An owner making hiring decisions on last quarter’s bank balance already sat in the file. We added the balance sheet and a cash view to the monthly package, so the owner saw working capital move rather than only profit. We then put monthly reporting in place. That let the owner see the cash effect of growth while there was still time to act on it. Growth was absorbed without a compliance failure. $82,000 of cash was released, and the monthly reporting now flags a problem while it is still small.
A 6-week rebuild at a manufacturer planning a plant expansion in Victoria, British Columbia got the filing in with 23 days to spare. That avoided $29,000 in penalties.
A manufacturer planning a plant expansion in Victoria, British Columbia was weeks away from the deadline for business valuation coordination. Behind that sat a monthly report that stopped at the income statement, with no balance sheet and no cash view. The exposure if the date slipped was around $29,000. We separated customer prepayments from earned revenue in the reporting, so the cash position and the tax position were visible at the same time. The filing went in complete rather than provisional, so there was no amended return to follow. Filed with 23 days to spare. $29,000 in late-filing penalties avoided, and the working papers are ready for the following year.
A fast-growing e-commerce brand in Winnipeg, Manitoba was preparing to sell. However, a minute book with no resolutions behind a decade of dividends disqualified the shares. Purification sheltered $875,000 under the exemption.
A fast-growing e-commerce brand in Winnipeg, Manitoba had an offer on the table and 12 months to close. The shares did not qualify for the capital gains exemption. A minute book with no resolutions behind a decade of dividends was part of the reason. We purified the corporation so the shares met the qualifying tests. We produced a board-ready monthly package — cash, margin, pipeline and covenant headroom — that replaced a spreadsheet nobody trusted. All of it was done well ahead of the closing date. The sale closed on schedule with $875,000 sheltered by the lifetime capital gains exemption across the shareholders.
A professional practice adding partners in Windsor, Ontario was filing correctly and still overpaying. The reason was revenue up 40% year over year and a bank balance that kept falling. Restructuring the position cut $15,000 from the annual bill.
A professional practice adding partners in Windsor, Ontario was compliant but paying more than it needed to. The prior year had been filed correctly. It still left revenue up 40% year over year and a bank balance that kept falling on the table. We modelled the current position against the alternatives before changing anything. Then we rebuilt the reporting around gross margin by service line, which showed two of five offerings were losing money at the current price. The change saved $15,000 in the first year and repeats annually. Nothing about the filings became more aggressive. The position is simply the one the rules already allowed.

Same fixed fees in every province. Find your city or your sector.
Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Business Valuation Coordination starts at a fixed fee quoted before any work begins. The quote is locked at the outset and does not change mid-engagement, and you pay only after you have reviewed and approved the deliverable. Compare every plan on our transparent pricing page.
At minimum: prior-year returns and notices of assessment, your bank and credit-card statements for the fiscal period, payroll records if you have employees, and GST/HST filings. We send a checklist tailored to your situation after the free 15-minute call.
Most engagements are completed within 3 to 5 business days once your documents are complete. Catch-up work covering multiple years takes longer, and we tell you the realistic timeline before you commit rather than after.
We respond on your behalf at no extra charge for any return we prepared. Every figure we file is supported by documentation retained in your file, which is what turns a CRA review from a crisis into correspondence. See how our CRA audit representation works.
Yes. Late filing penalties compound at 5% of the balance owing plus 1% per month, so the cost of waiting is real. We prioritise catch-up work and, where eligible, file under the CRA's Voluntary Disclosures Program to reduce penalties.
Yes. We serve clients in every province and territory at the same fixed fees, so your location does not change the price or the service. Browse our coverage across Canada to find your city.
We work across construction, healthcare, e-commerce, professional services, restaurants, real estate, transportation, technology and non-profits, each with its own deduction profile and CRA scrutiny patterns. See all industries we serve.
Software applies the rules you already know about. An experienced tax accountant finds the ones you do not: capital cost allowance timing, the small business deduction threshold, shareholder loan repayment rules, and TOSI exposure on family dividends. The fee is usually smaller than the deductions it surfaces.
Our business valuation coordination services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.

In our files, this is the deciding factor: A fractional CFO covers forecasting, banking relationships and pricing decisions for a fraction of what a full-time hire costs. A tax preparation specialist applies it to your numbers before submission.
The short answer comes straight from our working notes: Gross margin by product or service line, not overall revenue, is what tells an owner which work to take more of. A business can grow revenue and lose money at the same time. How that plays out on your file depends on the specifics, which is exactly what the engagement is for.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
Online banking is the simplest route: add the CRA as a payee, select the account and tax year precisely, and pay from your chequing account. CRA My Payment takes debit card payments, and pre-authorised debit can be scheduled in My Account or My Business Account for a single amount or a run of instalments. Corporations and GST/HST registrants use the same channels under their business number. Keep the confirmation number and allow several days for the payment to post.
Sign in to CRA My Account, or use the CRA's mobile app, where the return shows as received, in process or assessed, and the refund amount and payment date appear once it has been assessed. The CRA also runs an automated telephone service giving the same information. A representative you have authorised through Represent a Client can check it for you. If the status has not moved past the published processing time, the return is probably under review.
A tax deduction is an amount subtracted from your income before tax is worked out, so it reduces the income being taxed rather than the tax bill directly. Its worth depends on your marginal rate: the higher the rate, the more the deduction saves. Common examples are RRSP contributions, child care costs, union dues, moving expenses and business expenses. Credits work the other way, reducing the tax calculated on that income.
Yes. Most people file electronically through NETFILE using CRA-certified software, which submits the return directly and confirms receipt immediately. Filing online is also what makes a fast refund possible: for 2025 returns filed in 2026 the CRA service standard is about two weeks online, against a considerably longer standard for a paper return, and registering direct deposit removes the cheque step. CRA online filing for 2025 returns opened 23 February 2026 and closes 29 January 2027.
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your next dollar of income, not on your income as a whole. Federally for 2026 that is 14%, 20.5%, 26%, 29% or 33% depending on the bracket you have reached, and your province's rate stacks on top, so an Ontario earner in the 26% federal band adds the Ontario rate for their own band. The two sets of thresholds rarely line up, so add the two rates together.
The business number is the single identifier the CRA uses for your business, with a separate programme account opened under it for each obligation: GST/HST, payroll deductions, corporate income tax, import and export. Register through Business Registration Online, by phone or by mail, or receive one automatically when you incorporate federally. You need it before you can remit payroll or file GST/HST. Provincial registration is separate in some provinces, notably Quebec, where Revenu Québec administers its own accounts.
Yes, and it is usually worth doing. Filing with little or no income is how you claim the GST/HST credit, provincial and territorial credits and, if you have children, the Canada child benefit - these are based on an assessed return each year. Filing also carries forward tuition and other unused amounts, creates RRSP room from any earned income, and keeps your CRA record current for later years.
Coffee bought ready to drink from a cafe or restaurant is taxable at the GST/HST rate where you buy it, so 5% GST alone in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Coffee beans, ground coffee and instant coffee sold in a grocery store are basic groceries and are zero-rated, so no GST/HST applies. Provincial sales tax follows its own food rules.
All of it. Tips are fully taxable, so there is no percentage a server is allowed to declare instead of the full amount, whether it arrived by card, in cash, or through a tip pool. There is no special rate either: tips are added to your other income and taxed at your marginal rate. Controlled tips paid out by the employer appear on your T4; direct and pooled tips usually do not, so keep a daily record.
Tax break is informal shorthand for anything that lowers your tax: a deduction, a credit, an exemption or a deferral. A deduction reduces the income you are taxed on, so it is worth your marginal rate. A credit reduces the tax itself, and a refundable credit can be paid out even when no tax is owing. A deferral, such as an RRSP contribution or a rollover on incorporating, delays the tax rather than removing it.
A bursary is treated the same way as a scholarship. The payer reports it on a T4A, and the scholarship exemption then removes the amount from income for a student enrolled full time in a qualifying educational program. Part-time students can exempt an amount tied to tuition and program costs. Money that is really compensation for work is taxable and belongs in income, and support for training outside a qualifying program is taxable only beyond the small basic exemption that applies to awards which do not qualify.
Drugs prescribed by a medical practitioner and recorded by a pharmacist are eligible medical expenses. Over-the-counter products are not eligible even when a doctor recommends them, and most vitamins and supplements fall outside the rules too. Ask the pharmacy for an annual printout instead of saving till receipts, because it shows the prescribing detail the CRA expects. Only the total above an income-based floor produces a credit, and reimbursed amounts must be excluded.
