Focus LLP

Tax and accounting for private corporations

Calgary, Alberta, is home to this accounting and tax practice. The firm says it focuses its services on private corporations and their shareholders, and that it gives the same level of professional service to every client, whatever the size of the business. Its own description is of a team that works to make sure clients receive the maximum benefit available while meeting every tax and filing requirement.

Corporate tax returns prepared for efficiency

The firm says it keeps its tax training current and extensive, and that corporate and personal tax returns are prepared in the most tax-efficient manner available. Its work is aimed at owners who want accounting that is handled properly from year to year, rather than a rushed filing at the deadline.

Financial statements to the relevant standards

Corporate financial statements are prepared in a timely fashion, in line with the appropriate accounting standards for compilation or review engagements. The firm lists these engagements as one of its core services alongside the tax work.

Accounting systems set up and taught

The firm offers assistance and training in setting up and optimizing a client's accounting systems. The company says this applies whether the client uses traditional or online software, and the packages named are QuickBooks, in its desktop or online form, and Sage.

Family trusts and the filings after a death

Tax preparation for family trusts is one part of the trust and estate work. The firm also handles the complex filings required when someone dies, including the final personal tax return, the estate tax returns and requests for clearance certificates.

Business consulting next to the annual accounts

Business consulting is offered alongside the financial statements, so that an owner can discuss the figures and what they mean for the business as well as the filing itself.

Accountants who work across the year

The firm says its approach is to take the complexity out of accounting and tax, so that owners do not have to carry those burdens themselves. It describes its team as diligent in making sure that all filing requirements are met.
