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 rolling forecasting engagement is priced as a pocket-friendly flat fee, so the cost is known before the work starts.
The pattern in rolling forecasting files repeats often enough that an accounting firm can usually tell early on where a file will need work. What follows is that read, written down for Rolling Forecasting.
The foundation is simple to state and easy to trip over: Amounts received for services not yet performed are included in income when received, with a reserve available only where the statutory conditions are met. A cash balance built out of customer prepayments can carry a tax liability inside it, which is why deferred revenue is not a financing source.
A related rule tends to get overlooked precisely because the first one draws all the attention: Interest is deductible where the borrowed money is used to earn income from a business or property, and the test is what the money actually funded. The paper trail linking each borrowing to its use is what supports the deduction when the loan and the spending sit years apart. And on timing: Planning has to be in place before the transaction. The salary-versus-dividend mix, the timing of a capital purchase and the choice of year-end all change the outcome, but only prospectively. Almost every planning opportunity we see missed was available and simply not taken in time; very few are recoverable after year-end.
Reading rules is one thing; knowing which of them your file actually triggers is another. A tax professional closes that gap, and for rolling forecasting the gap is often wider than it looks. The engagement goes fastest when last year’s filings and the current ledger arrive together.
Every rolling forecasting engagement carries the same commitments: a fixed fee settled before we begin, your sign-off before anything is filed, and payment only after the service is complete.

A family business planning succession in Kitchener, Ontario was preparing to sell, but a minute book with no resolutions behind a decade of dividends disqualified the shares. Purification sheltered $305,000 under the exemption.
Closing the books at a business whose margin varies by service line in Victoria, British Columbia took 9 weeks because of a borrowing drawn for an unrelated personal purchase with the interest claimed against the business. It now takes 9 days.
7 years of filings at a company hiring its first finance staff in Moncton, New Brunswick had never claimed the incentives the work qualified for. The review recovered $79,000.
A 3-week rebuild at a manufacturer planning a plant expansion in Kelowna, British Columbia got the filing in with 13 days to spare, avoiding $96,000 in penalties.
A professional practice adding partners in Lethbridge, Alberta faced a $137,000 proposed reassessment after pricing set by feel, with no visibility into margin by service line. We rebuilt the documentation and the adjustment was withdrawn in full.
A $120,000 reassessment landed at a subscription business tracking churn in Calgary, Alberta, resting on a covenant breach discovered only when the bank called. The objection was allowed in full.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Rolling Forecasting 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.
Our rolling forecasting services include complete filing, compliance management, and strategic advice customized to Canadian tax laws.

The honest answer comes down to one rule. 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 is the part we verify before anything is filed.
Our answer starts where the legislation starts. 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 it is a matter of applying it to your year — and that application, not the rule itself, is where a tax preparation specialist earns the fee.

HST combines the 5% federal GST with a provincial component in five participating provinces. For 2026 the combined rates are 13% in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia since 1 April 2025. Elsewhere you charge the 5% GST alone, or GST plus a separate provincial tax. The rate follows the province of supply, not where your business sits.
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.
A refund is the tax already paid minus the tax actually owed. Add the income tax withheld on your slips to any instalments you paid, work out tax payable on your total income after deductions and credits, and the difference comes back if the first figure is larger. Large refunds usually trace to over-withholding on employment income, RRSP contributions, or credits transferred to you. Run the numbers through the CRA's or a commercial estimator before you file.
For the 2026 tax year, federal rates are 14% on the first $58,523 of taxable income, 20.5% from there to $117,045, 26% to $181,440, 29% to $258,482, and 33% above that. Each rate applies only to the income inside its own band, so moving into a higher bracket does not raise the tax on the income below it. Provincial or territorial tax is added on top.
Most municipalities do not take credit cards for property tax directly. They accept pre-authorised debit, online or telephone banking, cheque, and in-person payment. Third-party payment processors will charge a property tax bill to a card for a service fee, which normally costs more than the rewards earned. The CRA works the same way for income tax and GST/HST: no direct card payment, but authorised third-party providers accept cards for a fee.
Scholarships, fellowships and bursaries are reported on a T4A, yet most students pay no tax on them. A full-time student in a qualifying programme who is eligible to claim the education amount is generally exempt on amounts received for that programme. Part-time students get a limited exemption tied to tuition and required materials. Amounts paid for services performed, such as a paid assistantship, or received as a research grant are treated differently and can be taxable.
A refund is the difference between the tax already paid on your behalf during the year and the tax you actually owe once income, deductions and credits are totalled on the return. Tax withheld from pay, instalments and refundable credits all count towards the amount paid. Where that total exceeds the tax calculated, the CRA refunds the excess; where it falls short, a balance is payable instead. The notice of assessment sets out the calculation.
Withholding is only an estimate. Your employer taxes each pay period as if that pay rate continued for the whole year, using the 2026 federal rates of 14% to 33% plus your province's, and it knows only the credits you put on your TD1. It cannot see a second job, investment income, RRSP contributions or most other deductions and credits, so the return trues everything up: a refund if too much came off, a balance owing if too little.
Sign in to My Business Account: the nine-digit number sits at the top, with a suffix for each program account, such as the GST/HST or payroll one. It is also printed on every CRA notice, remittance voucher and letter about the business, and on your GST/HST return. To confirm another company, use the federal or provincial corporate registry and the CRA's GST/HST registry search. The CRA will not read a business number out to a third party.
Yes. Toilet paper is an ordinary household product, not a basic grocery, so GST/HST applies at the rate for the province of purchase: 5% GST in Alberta, 13% HST in Ontario, 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island, and 14% in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025. Provincial sales tax may apply on top in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec.
A real CRA agent will ask you to confirm identifying details, including your social insurance number, once you have called them or after they reach you about a known file. What the CRA does not do is demand your SIN, banking details or a payment over a call you were not expecting, threaten arrest, or ask for gift cards or crypto. If a call feels wrong, hang up and phone the CRA back on a number from canada.ca.
Yes. Legal services are a taxable supply, so a registered lawyer or firm charges GST or HST at the rate for the client's province: 13% HST in Ontario, 14% HST in Nova Scotia from 1 April 2025, and 5% GST in Alberta. Disbursements can be treated differently depending on whether the lawyer incurred them as your agent. Where the fees relate to your commercial activity, the tax is generally recoverable as an input tax credit.
