Why True North Accounting?
We’re a great choice for small businesses because 1) we get you and 2) we work in a smarter, more streamlined way. No more headaches or stressing over tax deadlines.
Technology
We use the latest technology to make the process as efficient as possible for you, automating your notifications, reminders, bill payments and tax payments. Even your tax and GST instalments are automated. This keeps your costs down and improves accuracy.
Training
We learn about your business and your priorities with our onboarding sessions and annual check-up questionnaires. From there, we explain the process we use to get your books up to date and taxes filed in the easiest way possible. You have unlimited access to our accountants, so feel free to ask as many questions as you want.
No penalties
Penalties, which are incurred when deadlines are missed, are much worse than the interest charged on unpaid taxes. To avoid penalties, we promise to meet every tax and bookkeeping deadline if you meet our deadlines.
Pricing
Once we start working together, we’ll give you a clear, all-in cost for any bookkeeping, accounting or tax services. We calculate your price based on your business activities and can break down your bill to monthly pre-authorized debits to make things even easier.
Response times
You’re super busy. That’s why we give you plenty of time to respond to our questions and document requests. When you meet our deadline, we will meet the government’s deadlines. We aim to be proactive and will do what we can to keep you accountable to the tax deadlines.
CRA support
We become your representative with the CRA, so that when they have questions, they call us directly. You don’t have to worry about it. You never have to answer their questions or try to interpret their letters full of tax jargon.
Simple approach
We work in a smarter, more streamlined way. We provide a clear quote, and tell you exactly when things will happen and why. We use the best tools and technology available to save you time, save you money and save you from dealing with CRA. Ever.
