GTA Accounting

Working from Toronto and Mississauga, GTA Accounting is a chartered professional accounting practice that handles corporate and personal tax, bookkeeping and financial planning for clients across Ontario.

Corporate tax and incorporation

On the corporate side, the firm prepares company returns and HST reporting, helps new businesses incorporate, and offers tax advisory. The firm says its advice aims to lower a company's tax liabilities and maximize its returns. It also keeps up with changes to Canadian tax and financial law, which the firm describes as shifting each year, so that clients do not have to track them alone. Custom tax advice and budgeting are offered to help a business set financial goals.

Personal tax, cross-border and US returns

Personal tax covers online filing, cross-border and non-resident tax, and international tax, including US tax returns for individuals. The firm says it can work on personal and business situations alike, and that it tells clients its fees in advance so that they know where they stand before work begins.

Bookkeeping, payroll and financial statements

Bookkeeping includes payroll, and the preparation of financial statements and comprehensive income reports from a client's own records. The firm says it explains the reports it compiles, so that clients understand what the figures mean for their decisions.

Advisory, estate planning and audit

The advisory side extends to estate matters. Its audit work gives an objective assessment of a company's financial position and performance, which the firm describes as useful for owners who need a clear view of where their business stands.

Credentials and client base

The firm says it employs Chartered Professional Accountants, a tax consultant and a management accountant, all approved by the relevant regulatory bodies. It notes that businesses differ in how they recognize income and expenses, so the team is set up to advise accordingly. Its clients range from owners of small companies and self-employed people to restaurants, online merchants, property investors and agents, and importers and exporters, and the site lists clients in Brampton, Toronto, Barrie, Mississauga and across Ontario.
