Pacific Ledger Chartered Professional Accountant · Vancouver

Services & fixed fees

Everything your business needs from its accountant — under one fixed fee.

Six services, each scoped in writing and priced before any work begins. Take one, or hand us the whole finance function.

01Year-end & T2

Corporate year-end & T2

The annual close, done properly and explained plainly. We prepare compilation financial statements, file your T2 with every schedule the CRA expects, and then do the part most firms skip — a short letter, in plain English, on what changed, what it means, and what to do differently next year.

Built for: incorporated businesses, professional corporations and holding companies — whatever your fiscal year-end.

From$1,800per year-end · CAD

What's included

  • Compilation financial statements
  • T2 corporate return with full GIFI schedules
  • T4 and T5 slips for owner salary and dividends
  • Adjusting entries and a clean year-end trial balance
  • Shareholder loan and capital dividend account tracking
  • E-filing with CRA confirmation, both deadlines diarized

You walk away with

Filed statements and T2, slips issued, a one-page year-end letter you'll actually read — delivered at least two weeks before any deadline, with next year's plan attached.

02Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping

Books that close every month, not every spring. We run your bookkeeping on Xero or QuickBooks Online with Dext receipt capture, reconcile every account monthly, and send a summary a human being can read.

Built for: owners tired of shoeboxes and year-end catch-up invoices — anyone who wants current numbers before making a decision.

From$250per month · CAD

What's included

  • Xero or QuickBooks Online setup and subscription management
  • Receipt and bill capture from your phone, via Dext
  • Monthly bank, credit card and loan reconciliations
  • GST and PST coding checked as we go — not fixed later
  • Monthly summary: profit, cash position, anything odd
  • Year-end-ready books — no catch-up invoice in March

You walk away with

Reconciled, current, CRA-ready books every month, and a short summary email that tells you how the business is actually doing.

03Personal tax

Personal tax (T1)

Personal returns done with the corporate picture in view. For an incorporated owner, the T1 isn't a standalone form — it's where salary, dividends, RRSP room and instalments all land. We file it as part of the plan, not as an afterthought.

Built for: incorporated professionals, owner families, and anyone with employment, investment or rental income worth doing properly.

From$180per return · CAD

What's included

  • T1 preparation and electronic filing
  • Employment, dividend, investment and rental income
  • RRSP contribution and TFSA-timing guidance
  • Instalment schedules, so interest never sneaks up
  • Spousal returns prepared and optimized together
  • CRA My Account review for missed slips and carry-forwards

You walk away with

A filed return, a plain-English note on the refund or balance — and why — plus next year's instalment calendar so nothing arrives unannounced.

04Payroll & sales tax

Payroll, GST & PST

The remittance treadmill, handled. Payroll runs, source deductions, GST returns and BC PST — each filed against a hard internal deadline set ahead of the CRA's, so penalties and interest simply never come up.

Built for: employers with one to fifteen staff, and any business registered — or that should be registered — for GST or PST.

From$95per month · CAD

What's included

  • Payroll processing with direct-deposit-ready registers
  • Source deduction remittances — CPP, EI and income tax
  • T4s, T4 summaries and ROEs when staff move on
  • GST returns — monthly, quarterly or annual
  • BC PST returns and WorkSafeBC filings
  • Program account registrations when you need them

You walk away with

A calendar of every filing for the year ahead, a confirmation after each one lands, and a team that gets paid correctly, on time, every time.

05Planning

Tax planning & incorporation

The work that actually lowers the bill. Returns report the past; planning changes it. We model salary versus dividends with your real numbers, time RRSP and TFSA moves, and — when the numbers say so — incorporate you properly.

Built for: sole proprietors weighing incorporation, and incorporated owners who've been taking compensation ad hoc.

From$600per engagement · CAD

What's included

  • Salary-vs-dividends modelling on your actual figures
  • Incorporation guidance: BC company, business number, GST and payroll accounts
  • An owner compensation calendar for the year
  • RRSP versus corporate-investing comparison
  • Income-splitting review, kept safely inside the TOSI rules
  • A written plan, dated before year-end — when it can still work

You walk away with

A written plan with real numbers attached: what to pay yourself, when, in what mix — and what it saves compared with doing nothing.

06CRA support

CRA reviews & audit support

When the brown envelope arrives, forward it and get back to work. Most CRA letters are routine reviews with a deadline attached. We register as your authorized representative, respond in the CRA's own language, and keep you out of the middle.

Built for: anyone holding a review letter, a processing review, a GST examination — or a full audit notice.

From$400per matter · CAD

What's included

  • Authorized representative registration — the CRA calls us, not you
  • Response drafting and document assembly
  • Pre-assessment and processing reviews
  • GST and PST examinations, payroll compliance checks
  • Full audit management, start to finish
  • Notices of Objection when an assessment is simply wrong

You walk away with

Every deadline met, every letter answered, and plain-English status updates — instead of a winter spent on hold with the CRA.

The Pacific Ledger office — warm wood, linen chairs and evergreen walls

How engagements run

A downtown office. A virtual-first practice.

Clients drop by our Downtown Vancouver office for year-end reviews and signatures — and plenty never come in at all. Secure document portal, e-signatures, video calls, and books that live in the cloud: the service, and the CPA behind it, are identical either way.

  • Secure portal for documents — nothing sensitive by email
  • E-signatures on statements, returns and authorizations
  • Clients across Metro Vancouver, and remote across BC

Monthly plans, recapped
