The CRA requires business records to be kept for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. Because the fee is fixed and budget-friendly, the economics stay predictable whether your file is simple or messy.
Good quarterly bookkeeping work is mostly about sequencing: which questions to settle before which. These notes lay out the sequence an income tax specialist follows on Quarterly Bookkeeping engagements.
Before anything else, one rule sets the frame. Foreign-currency amounts have to be converted at the exchange rate for the day the transaction occurred. Applying one year-end rate to twelve months of purchases distorts the recorded cost and hides the exchange gain or loss on settlement.
There is a companion rule that changes how the first one plays out in practice: The CRA requires business records to be kept for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to, in a form that allows the return to be verified. Where records cannot support the return, the CRA is entitled to assess on its own estimate — and the burden of disproving that estimate falls on the taxpayer. Then there is the matter of timing, which forgives very little: An expense is deductible where it was incurred to earn income and is reasonable in the circumstances. The business-use portion must be supported, which for vehicles means a logbook. The CRA rarely argues that an expense category is wrong; it argues that the proportion claimed was never substantiated.
Think of these rules as the fixed terrain; your circumstances decide the route through it. Mapping that route is the work an income tax specialist takes off your plate for quarterly bookkeeping. Nothing slows a file like missing records, so for quarterly bookkeeping begin with.
You will see the finished work before it goes anywhere — review-before-filing is standard here, not an add-on. The fee is fixed up front, and nothing is payable until the service is done.

A food-truck operator running two seasonal units in Winnipeg, Manitoba was scaling. The growth exposed a receivables list that included invoices collected eleven months earlier. The back office was rebuilt to match, freeing $99,000.
A food-truck operator running two seasonal units in Winnipeg, Manitoba was opening in a second province. That meant different filing obligations and a different payroll regime. A receivables list that included invoices collected eleven months earlier already sat in the file. We rebuilt sales from the processor settlement reports so gross sales, fees and refunds each landed in an account of their own. 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. $99,000 of cash was released, and the monthly reporting now flags a problem while it is still small.
A subscription box retailer in Calgary, Alberta was under review. The issue was meals and entertainment coded at full cost with the input tax credit claimed on the whole amount. The file closed in 9 weeks with $98,000 of proposed tax cleared.
A subscription box retailer in Calgary, Alberta was selected for review. Meals and entertainment coded at full cost with the input tax credit claimed on the whole amount had shown up in the CRA's automated matching. The proposed adjustment on quarterly bookkeeping came to $98,000. We rebuilt the ledger from bank and card statements and matched every receipt to a transaction. We removed duplicated input tax credits before they became a review. Every figure in the response traced to a source record the auditor could verify without asking a second question. The review closed with no change. $98,000 of proposed tax came off the table, and the documentation now in place makes the next review a short one.
6 years of filings at a specialty coffee roaster in Barrie, Ontario had never claimed the incentives the work qualified for. The review recovered $120,000.
A specialty coffee roaster in Barrie, Ontario had been filing for 6 years. In that time, the incentives its activity qualified for were never claimed. Behind that sat a receivables list that included invoices collected eleven months earlier. We tested each activity against the eligibility criteria rather than the description on the invoice. Then we recoded the meals and entertainment accounts to the statutory limit and reversed the over-claimed input tax credits before the next return went in. $120,000 in credits claimed, with the open prior years adjusted as well. The claim passed review without adjustment.
A family transfer at a two-location cafe in Kitchener, Ontario would have been fully taxable. The reason was retained cash well above what the business needed to operate. Restructuring deferred $475,000.
A generational transfer at a two-location cafe in Kitchener, Ontario had been discussed for years without a plan. Retained cash well above what the business needed to operate meant the transfer as contemplated would have been fully taxable. We set up a documented chart of accounts, a receipt-capture workflow and a monthly reconciliation that closes within ten days of month-end. We sequenced the steps so each one was complete and documented before the next depended on it. $475,000 of tax was deferred through the transfer, and the successor generation took over a corporation whose records stood up to review.
Collections had begun against an equipment rental yard in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan over 6 years of unfiled returns. Bringing them current cut $23,500 from the balance.
By the time an equipment rental yard in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan called, 6 years were outstanding. The CRA had assessed on estimates. Underneath it sat sales recorded from bank deposits, so processor fees, chargebacks and refunds appeared nowhere in the ledger. We reconstructed the records year by year. We converted the foreign-currency purchases at transaction-date rates and recorded the exchange difference at settlement instead of burying it in cost of sales. 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 $23,500, and a relief application addressed part of the accumulated interest.
The structure at a courier subcontractor paid by the drop in Ottawa, Ontario no longer fitted the business. A payroll clearing account that had never been brought to zero, carrying a balance nobody could explain showed it. Rebuilding it saves $73,000 a year.
The structure at a courier subcontractor paid by the drop in Ottawa, Ontario dated from years earlier. It had been set up for a business that no longer existed. A payroll clearing account that had never been brought to zero, carrying a balance nobody could explain had become expensive. We separated the owner’s personal spending out of the corporate accounts and cleared the resulting shareholder loan properly. The reorganisation used the rollover provisions rather than a taxable transfer, so no tax fell due on the restructuring itself. $73,000 of annual saving, achieved on a tax-deferred basis. The minute book, elections and valuations are all in the file.

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.
Quarterly Bookkeeping 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 quarterly bookkeeping services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.

There is a widespread assumption here, and the actual position is worth stating plainly. Business records must be kept for six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. The CRA can require them in electronic form that it can actually read. If your current setup was built on the assumption instead of the rule, that is fixable — but sooner is better than later.
For the 2025 tax year, an invoice of $100 or more must show the supplier’s GST/HST registration number to support an input tax credit. From $500 it also needs the buyer’s name, a description of the supply and the payment terms. 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 questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
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.
GST or HST is calculated on the selling price of a taxable supply and shown separately on the invoice. Place-of-supply rules decide which province's rate applies, and that is usually where the customer receives the goods or service rather than where you operate. A registrant remits the tax collected less input tax credits for GST or HST paid on business purchases, so the amount sent to the CRA with each return is the net figure, not everything collected.
The route depends on the structure. A sole proprietor or partner reports business income on Form T2125 and files it with the personal T1 return; for the 2025 year the self-employed filing deadline was 15 June 2026, while any balance owing was due 30 April 2026. An incorporated business files a separate T2 corporate return for each fiscal year, due six months after that year end, on top of whatever the owner reports personally.
Divide the total by one plus the tax rate expressed as a decimal. That gives the amount before tax, and subtracting it from the total leaves the tax portion. Going the other direction, multiply the pre-tax amount by the rate to get the tax and add the two together. Use the combined rate for the province of supply, and avoid rounding at each step so the tax you report matches the figures on your invoices.
Work it from your own figures rather than a rule of thumb. A corporation on active business income pays 9% federally on the first $500,000 for 2026, plus the provincial small business rate — 3.2% in Ontario, falling to 2.2% on 1 July 2026 — so reserve that share of profit as you earn it. A sole proprietor should set aside at their marginal personal rate plus CPP. Keep GST/HST collected in a separate account; that money was never yours.
Gross income is everything you earn before anything comes off: employment pay before tax, CPP and EI are withheld, plus self-employment revenue, tips, interest, dividends, rental income and taxable benefits. On a pay stub it is the top line, not the amount deposited. For a return, add the income amounts from every slip you receive, such as T4, T4A and T5, together with income for which no slip was issued, including cash and casual work.
The Canada Child Benefit and related credits are calculated on adjusted family net income taken from both spouses' prior-year returns, so there is no single income cut-off. Payments sit at a maximum up to a threshold, then reduce as income rises, and the amounts and thresholds are indexed each July. Both partners must file every year, even with no income, or payments stop. Use the CRA's child and family benefits calculator for your own figures.
Adjusted family net income is your net income plus your spouse's or common-law partner's net income, minus any universal child care benefit and registered disability savings plan income received, plus any of those amounts repaid. CRA uses the figure to test income-based benefits such as the Canada child benefit, the GST/HST credit and the Canada workers benefit. It is taken from the previous year's returns, which is why both partners have to file each year to keep payments flowing.
For account-specific questions, the CRA will discuss your own file once you have verified your identity, and its individual and business enquiry lines cover balances, slips and deadlines. For advice on what to claim or how to structure something, speak to a tax preparer. If you want the filing handled for you, taxfilings.ca agrees a fixed fee before any work starts, and you pay after the service. Call +1 (416) 619-0068.
Prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses are an eligible medical expense, so they produce a non-refundable credit rather than a deduction. A prescription from an optometrist or medical practitioner is required, which is why non-prescription sunglasses and drugstore readers do not qualify. Pool the family's receipts on the medical expense lines of your T1, subtract anything a private plan reimbursed, and note that only the total above an income-based floor produces a credit.
A T4A reports amounts that are not employment income, such as pension or annuity payments, certain benefits and fees paid for services to someone who is not your employee. Payroll slips for a calendar year are due to the recipient and to CRA by the end of February following that year. Employment income belongs on a T4 instead, where controlled tips paid through the business are included; tips a customer hands directly to staff are not, but the employee still reports them.
Taxes fund public services at three levels of government. Federal revenue pays for transfers to the provinces, benefit programmes for families and seniors, defence, debt interest and federal departments. Provincial revenue pays mainly for health care, education and social services. Municipal property tax pays for local services such as roads, water, waste collection, policing, fire and libraries. CPP contributions and EI premiums are separate contributory programmes with their own accounts rather than general tax revenue.
