Afshan Ahmad CPA Professional Corporation

Virtual chartered accounting for Ontario small businesses

Afshan Ahmad CPA Professional Corporation serves clients across Ontario largely by remote working. Its roots are in Whitby and the Durham Region, where it has operated since 2001, and it focuses on small businesses and corporations. The practice keeps files paperless, and describes its aim as a one-stop resource where small businesses can get accounting and tax services in one place.

Corporate tax and filings

Corporate work includes T2 returns and filings at year end for incorporated companies. The practice also handles HST and GST filing and compliance. It prepares clients for Canada Revenue Agency audits and represents them during those audits.

Personal tax for existing clients

Personal tax work covers T1 returns and self-employed filings, and it is available to existing clients. The practice says it is not accepting new personal tax clients at present, while corporate and advisory inquiries are welcome.

Accounting, incorporation and start-ups

Accounting and bookkeeping are provided for businesses, along with advice on incorporating a business. Business advisory for start-ups aims to help owners reduce operating costs, improve cash flow and minimise income taxes. The practice says it values client relationships built on trust.

Deadlines and resources

The practice publishes a due date calendar covering corporate income tax, GST and HST remittances and payroll deadlines, together with resources for business and personal tax planning.
