CPA & Tax Accountant in London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton & Brantford
Instant quotes for tax preparation & bookkeeping — serving southwestern Ontario in person and clients across Ontario and Canada virtually
Most people come to us for two things: back filings to get caught up, and someone to keep things current afterwards. This prices both separately, so you can see what it costs to fix the past and what it costs to stay on top of it.
Bank and credit card lines, sales and bills. 250 a month or fewer is $350; up to 750 is $575. Under 1,000 a year, back filings get a flat rate.
This changes how much work the return actually is.
1Catching up one-time
Back filings are priced below our stand-alone rates — $1,800 a return and $2,000 a compilation, about $400 less per year than filing one-off — because getting you current is the point.
2Staying current monthly
What you pick here also sets your tax return price below.
$100 a month covers your first 5 employees, then $20 each after that.
3At tax time each year
What you'll pay each year going forward, once you're caught up.
4Your quote
Choose what you need above and your quote will build here.
This is a quote, not a final invoice — figures are confirmed by a CPA once we've seen your records. If you're just getting started, or working through a tight patch, mention it when we talk; we can usually find an arrangement that works.
Why your return costs what it costs
The corporate return is priced on how much of the groundwork is already done. The more of your books we're already in, the less there is to rebuild at year end.
Bookkeeping clients save $800 on the return every year — which covers a meaningful share of the bookkeeping itself.
What clients say
In their words, not ours.
Paste a real review here — ideally one that names the problem the client arrived with, not just "great service".
A second review. The most persuasive ones mention being behind, stressed or unsure — because that's who is reading this page.
A third, ideally from Upwork, so the mix shows both local and remote clients.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a corporate tax return cost in Ontario?
A corporate T2 return on its own is $2,000 a year, with a compilation engagement at $2,200. On the $54 a month Do-It-Yourself plan those become $1,800 and $2,000, and when we keep your books the return drops to $1,200 with the compilation at $2,000. Prior-year returns filed as part of a catch-up are $1,800 each with compilations at $2,000. Whenever we prepare the return and the compilation together, the compilation is half price — we are already in the records, so the second job is far smaller.
We're a startup with little or no revenue. Is there a lower rate?
Yes. If you're in your first year with little or no revenue, your first corporate filing is $900 instead of $1,800 — there is far less to prepare in a year with almost nothing to report. Your going-forward annual return is priced normally: $2,000 on its own, $1,800 on the Do-It-Yourself plan, or $1,200 when we keep your books. Catch-up bookkeeping is half our ongoing rate for everyone, startup or not.
How much does bookkeeping cost for a small business?
Full bookkeeping runs $350 to $900 a month. At 250 transactions a month or fewer it is $350, and up to 750 it is $575. Above 750 we quote within that band based on how your records are kept rather than the count alone, because that is what actually drives the work. If your business runs under 1,000 transactions a year, catch-up bookkeeping for back filings is a flat $1,200 per year instead.
I have several years of unfiled returns and books that are behind. Where do I start?
That is the most common reason people call us. We split it into two parts: a one-time cost to get caught up — back returns at $1,800 each and compilations at $2,000, roughly $400 a year below our stand-alone rates, plus catch-up bookkeeping for the months behind, always charged at half our ongoing monthly rate — and then what it costs to stay current afterwards.
What does payroll cost?
$100 a month covers your first five employees, with $20 a month for each additional employee. It includes the runs, the remittances and year-end T4s.
What is a Fractional Accountant?
A CPA working inside your business on an ongoing basis — full bookkeeping plus management reporting, planning and advisory, without hiring someone full time. It starts at $1,500 a month and is quoted to the scope you actually need.
Do you offer virtual tax services outside London, Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton and Brantford?
Yes. We serve clients virtually throughout Ontario and across Canada. Everything from document collection to CRA e-filing is handled remotely, with a CPA reviewing your file.
What if money is tight right now?
Tell us. A good number of the businesses we take on come to us precisely because something has gone sideways — a few years behind, a CRA letter, a startup with more ambition than cash. Payment arrangements are a normal conversation, not an awkward one.
Is the quote from this calculator final?
It is a quote to help you plan, not an invoice. Your final fee is confirmed by a CPA after a short review of your records — book a free appointment above and we will walk through it with you.
