Accounting for Mississauga businesses, decided during the year.
Mississauga runs on logistics and light manufacturing. Those businesses carry inventory and equipment, and many of them invoice across a border. We handle the year-end, but the work that changes the number happens well before it.
The sales tax is easy. The payroll tax is the one people miss.
Ontario employers get caught by the Employer Health Tax in the year their payroll crosses the exemption, usually without anyone telling them it happened.
Employer Health Tax has a threshold
Ontario charges EHT on payroll above an annual exemption. A business that hires steadily can cross it mid-year, and the registration is the employer’s job, not the CRA’s.
GST paid at the border comes back
GST charged on imported goods is recoverable as an input tax credit when the importer of record is set up properly. It is worth checking before a customs broker sets it up the wrong way for three years running.
Your filing frequency follows your revenue
GST/HST filing frequency is assigned when you register and it changes as the business grows. Moving from annual to quarterly pulls cash out of the business earlier in the year.
The businesses that run on inventory.
Distribution and logistics
Companies with stock on hand, equipment on the books, and a working capital position that moves every month.
Light manufacturing
Shops where job costing and payroll turn out to be the same conversation.
Importers and exporters
Firms invoicing in more than one currency, where the exchange treatment and the GST on imports both have to be right.
The ones we get asked most.
Do you meet clients in Mississauga?
The office is in Thornhill, roughly forty minutes away, and we meet clients there or on video. Most Mississauga clients have never needed the drive.
Can you take on the bookkeeping as well as the tax?
Yes. Bookkeeping runs on a monthly cycle in QuickBooks so the numbers are current when a decision needs making, rather than reconstructed the following March.
We import goods. Does that change the engagement?
It changes what gets reviewed. Import GST, currency treatment and inventory valuation each affect the return, and all of them are cheaper to fix during the year than after it.
What is the fee based on?
The agreed scope, quoted as one fixed number before anything starts. Nothing here is billed by the hour.
We also work with businesses in these cities.

In their words.
Aaron has done my personal taxes for six years and he’s the best. My files are sometimes complicated and I was not always the most organized client, yet he handles all of it without ever making me feel bad about the mess. He’s fast, he explains everything in plain English, and he always finds credits I would have missed.Shmuel Neft
