Corporate Accounting

 There can be a lot of complexity when it comes to the returns and filings required for your business. Our team has the knowledge and experience to help you understand and prepare what is needed, and ensure everything is filed on time. 

Our services include:

• Financial Statements
• Corporate tax returns
• Tax planning
• Sales tax returns

 Every well-organized business needs a solid foundation of bookkeeping. Without well-kept books, it is difficult to plan for decisions that affect the future of your business. 

How can you tell a business has its books in order? A business owner can answer key questions about his or her business:

• How much are we making and spending compared to last year?
• What are our revenues and costs going to be in the future?
• What do we have to report to Canada Revenue Agency, and how?
• What happens if we get audited?

If you can't answer these questions then you may need some bookkeeping help.

When you hire J. Armstrong Shapter Inc. to do your bookkeeping, you can be assured that your income and expense records will be kept accurately, thoroughly, and securely. We can quickly turn your receipts and invoices into computerized financial statements that make sense, and prepare GST returns that make sure every bit of tax you are owed gets refunded as soon as possible.

Our rates are very reasonable, and your statements are available to you at your request.

 Personal income taxes are a fact of life for every Canadian. Our goal is to remove some of the stress associated with filing your taxes and ensure you are paying the right amount. If you are constantly wondering if you did your taxes correctly, we can give you the peace of mind that your return is prepared by a tax professional and with an attention to detail.

Unlike some tax preparation companies, our staff are not paid on commissions. This means we are able to take the time required to work individually with you to ensure nothing is missed when preparing your return.

Are you thinking of setting up a business and unsure of how to go about it? Our team can give you the practical advice needed to ensure your business is a success. We can help you submit your name request to the government as well as setting up your payroll, GST, and PST accounts.

Don't know if you need to charge PST or GST? We can advise you on that as well. Trust us, it's not as straight forward as you think!

If you already have an existing business, we can advise you on the percentage of income to set aside for taxes. We also ensure the necessary tax filings are filed on time and filed accurately.
