Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in an ongoing corporate accounting relationship?

Depending on the engagement, services may include corporate year-end financial statements, T2 corporate tax returns, bookkeeping, T4 and T5 filings, salary and dividend planning, shareholder personal tax returns and year-round support with corporate tax questions. We can also assist with CRA correspondence, reviews, audits and representation when required, with a focus on accurate, well-supported and CRA-defensible filings.
 

What types of Maple Ridge businesses are the best fit for TSB CPA?

We work with BC corporations seeking a reliable, long-term accounting relationship. This includes established companies, growing businesses, incorporated professionals and newly incorporated businesses that want to establish the right accounting and tax foundation from the beginning.
 

Can you help transition records from another accountant?

Yes. After you approve the engagement, we coordinate the professional transition and request the necessary records from the previous accountant.
 

Will I receive a secure client portal and mobile access?

Every corporate and personal tax client receives access to a dedicated, secure client portal and mobile app. You can use it for encrypted document exchange, electronic signatures and organized storage of the filings and documents we provide, giving you convenient access whenever you need them.
