A rolling thirteen-week cash-flow forecast is the single most used tool in our advisory work — it is what keeps payroll safe through a slow quarter. Our profitability analysis engagement is priced as a cheap flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
Most of what goes wrong with profitability analysis goes wrong before anyone opens the software. As a tax specialist, that is where these notes on Profitability Analysis begin.
Start with the rule that decides most files: A fractional CFO covers forecasting, banking relationships and pricing decisions at a fraction of a $200,000-plus full-time hire, which is why most businesses under $20M revenue use one.
From there, the file turns on a second question, and the rule behind it reads as follows. 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. Ask what a reviewer will want to see, and the answer sits in this rule: 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, and it beats an annual budget in every month that matters.
None of this is exotic — but each point has to be applied to your facts, which is exactly what you are paying a tax professional to do. The engagement goes fastest when last year’s filings and the current ledger arrive together.
Whatever the file involves, the terms do not change: fixed fee agreed up front, review together before filing, payment after the service.

Growth at a professional practice adding partners in Halifax, Nova Scotia had outrun the back office, and a monthly report that stopped at the income statement, with no balance sheet and no cash view broke first. Headcount reached 83 with $116,000 of cash freed.
Remittances at a subscription business tracking churn in Regina, Saskatchewan were chronically late because of pricing set by feel, with no visibility into margin by service line. Fixing the schedule refunded $141,000.
A clinic group acquiring a competitor in Moncton, New Brunswick was 10 weeks from a deadline while carrying an owner making hiring decisions on last quarter’s bank balance. Filing complete and on time avoided roughly $102,000 in penalties.
A family business planning succession in Toronto, Ontario had outgrown its structure, with a healthy bank balance made up almost entirely of deposits for work not yet performed the visible cost. The reorganisation completed tax-deferred and saves $32,000 a year.
A business whose margin varies by service line in Ottawa, Ontario was preparing to sell, but retained cash well above what the business needed to operate disqualified the shares. Purification sheltered $795,000 under the exemption.
A company hiring its first finance staff in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan was under review over a covenant breach discovered only when the bank called. The file closed in 10 weeks with $143,000 of proposed tax cleared.

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.
Profitability Analysis 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 are a cloud-based practice serving every province and territory, 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.

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. We flag this early with every client it touches, because finding it out at filing time leaves you far fewer options than finding it out now.
The honest starting point is this: A fractional CFO covers forecasting, banking relationships and pricing decisions at a fraction of a $200,000-plus full-time hire, which is why most businesses under $20M revenue use one. Everything else we would tell you is tailoring, and tailoring requires seeing your file.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
For the 2025 tax year the filing and payment deadline is 30 April 2026. If you or your spouse were self-employed, the filing deadline moves to 15 June 2026, but any balance owing is still due 30 April 2026. Interest starts the day after the payment deadline, and a late-filing penalty applies on top when a return with a balance owing is filed late. File on time even with nothing owing, because income-tested benefits are recalculated from the filed return.
Work out the tax you actually owe for the year, then compare it with what has already been paid. Total your income, subtract deductions to reach taxable income, apply the federal and provincial brackets, take off your credits, and set the result against the tax withheld on your T4 and other slips plus any instalments. If more was withheld than you owe, the difference is your refund. Tax software approved for NETFILE runs the same arithmetic once your slips are entered.
Canada runs three systems. The federal GST is 5% for 2026 and applies nationally. Five participating provinces fold a provincial share into one harmonised rate: 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Others add their own tax to the 5% GST, giving 12% in British Columbia and Manitoba, 11% in Saskatchewan and 14.975% in Quebec. Alberta and the territories charge 5% only.
A non-refundable credit reduces the tax you owe to zero but no further, so any unused part is lost, carried forward, or transferred to a spouse or parent where the rule allows it. A refundable credit is paid to you even when no tax is owed, which is how benefit-style payments reach people with little or no income. Most personal credits on the federal return, including the basic personal amount, are non-refundable.
Yes. Canada's value-added tax is GST/HST. GST is 5% federally in 2025 and 2026. In participating provinces it is combined into HST: 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Registered businesses charge it on taxable sales and claim input tax credits on what they pay, so the tax lands on the final consumer.
Federally, no. Employer contributions to a private health services plan covering medical, dental and hospital care are not a taxable benefit, so they do not show up in your income. Quebec taxes them provincially, which is why a Quebec slip can show an amount the federal one does not. Premiums you pay yourself, including the employee share deducted from pay, can count as medical expenses on your T1. Group life and some wage-loss plans are treated differently.
Total your income, subtract deductions such as RRSP contributions and child care, apply your credits, then compare the resulting tax with the tax already withheld on your slips and any instalments paid. Tax software runs that comparison as you enter slips and shows a running balance before you submit. After filing, the notice of assessment confirms the figure, and CRA My Account shows the refund or amount owing and where it stands.
The slip reporting employment insurance benefits is issued in February following the year you received them, ahead of the filing deadline. Look for it in your My Service Canada Account and in CRA My Account; a paper copy is mailed if you have not chosen electronic delivery. EI benefits are taxable, and the tax withheld at source is often less than the tax finally due, so expect a balance owing if you had other income that year.
No. Insurance is treated as a financial service for GST/HST purposes, so the premium on an auto policy is exempt and carries no GST or HST. Some provinces charge their own tax on certain insurance premiums, which is why a policy can still show a tax line. GST/HST does apply to related taxable supplies such as repair labour, parts and a rental car, even when the insurer pays the invoice. The CRA's financial services guidance sets out the boundary.
Almost always a bank display issue rather than a tax problem. A CRA deposit usually appears as a federal or Canada payment; a pending item, a reversal, or a duplicate deposit being pulled back can sit on the debit side of the statement. Compare the amount and date with the refund recorded in CRA My Account. If the CRA shows it issued and your account does not hold it, that question belongs to your bank.
Employment income is everything your employer pays or provides for your work: salary or wages, overtime, bonuses, commissions, employer-controlled tips, and the value of taxable benefits such as a company vehicle or certain allowances. It shows in box 14 of your T4, before deductions. Add every T4 you receive, plus tips the employer did not report, then subtract only the limited employment deductions you qualify for, such as union dues or approved work-space costs.
Child care is a federal deduction, not a credit. Eligible fees paid so you can work, run a business, or study are deducted from income, normally by the spouse with the lower net income, subject to an annual limit per child that depends on the child age and disability status. Keep receipts showing the provider name and social insurance number or business number. Quebec adds a refundable provincial credit for child care, and several provinces subsidise fees directly.
