 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Waqar, my accountant, and I can't say enough good things about his services. From the very beginning, it was clear that he values professionalism and has a deep understanding of accounting principles. His communication skills are outstanding. Waqar always takes the time to explain complex financial concepts in a way that is easy to understand, which has been incredibly helpful for me. Whether it’s through emails or phone calls, he is always responsive and makes it a point to address any questions I have promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark about my finances, which is a huge relief. One of the aspects I appreciate most about Waqar is his punctuality. He consistently meets deadlines, whether it’s for filing taxes or preparing financial reports. I’ve had experiences in the past where accountants would delay tasks, but Waqar has always delivered on time without compromising quality. Overall, I highly recommend Waqar for any accounting needs. His combination of expertise, clear communication, and reliability sets him apart from others in the field.

As a self-employed worker, tax season is a stressful time. However, Waqar's knowledge and expertise make the process much smoother and relaxed. I really appreciate Waqar's consistent patience and responsiveness to my detailed questions and concerns. Given my future aspirations of working abroad, having reliable, trustworthy, affordable, and highly skilled cross-border accounting services is very important to me. Therefore, I highly recommend Waqar Naqvi and Tax Return Filers, and look forward to their continued services.

Got Any Questions?

Accounting services in Edmonton typically range from $150 to $300 per month for basic bookkeeping for a sole proprietor, $300 to $800 per month for small businesses needing monthly bookkeeping, GST filing, and payroll, and $1,500 or more per month for full-service packages covering corporate tax, year-end financial statements, and CPA representation. One-time personal T1 tax return preparation starts around $150 to $250 depending on complexity, and corporate T2 returns typically range from $800 to $2,500 based on the size and activity level of the corporation.

Bookkeeping and accounting services for small businesses in Edmonton typically cover bank reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable, GST filing, payroll processing, month-end close, and year-end financial statement preparation. Businesses running QuickBooks Online or Xero benefit from a bookkeeper who works directly inside those platforms so records stay clean and tax-ready without manual cleanup every April.

Yes. Startup requirement and planning is one of the most requested services from new Edmonton businesses. We set up your chart of accounts, configure your web-based accounting system, establish your GST registration, register your payroll account with CRA, and build a budgeting and payroll and business modelling framework that reflects your actual revenue projections from day one rather than generic templates.

Monthly accounting and bookkeeping outsourcing in Edmonton covers income and expense entries, bank and credit card reconciliation, accounts payable and receivable management, GST reconciliation and filing, payroll processing, month-end close, and customized financial reports delivered on your schedule. Online bookkeeping services give you real-time access to your numbers through QuickBooks Online or Xero without maintaining an in-house accounting team.

Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so Edmonton businesses collect and remit GST at 5% only. CRA assigns your filing frequency based on annual revenue: monthly above $6 million, quarterly between $1.5 million and $6 million, and annually below $1.5 million. Missing a GST remittance deadline triggers a penalty of 1% of the amount owing plus 25% of that penalty for each additional month it remains outstanding.

The WCB Annual Return is filed with the Workers Compensation Board of Alberta and reports your actual payroll for the prior year against the estimated premiums you paid. Most Alberta employers with workers are required to register and file annually. Missing the March 31 deadline results in penalties and interest on any balance owing.

Edmonton residents most commonly need T1 General Income Tax Return preparation, RRSP optimization, rental income reporting on Schedule T776, capital gains reporting on Schedule 3, employment expense claims on Form T2200, and foreign property disclosure on Form T1135.

Bookkeeping services near Edmonton businesses are best evaluated on three criteria: CPA credentials, industry experience, and whether the firm handles tax alongside bookkeeping or refers it elsewhere. A firm that manages your bookkeeping accounting services, GST filing, payroll, and corporate tax return under one roof eliminates the coordination gap that causes errors when multiple providers handle different parts of the same financial picture. Tax Return Filers covers all of these in Edmonton without referrals to outside firms.

A Professional Accounting Firm in Edmonton staffed by Chartered Professional Accountants can prepare Notice to Reader financial statements, represent you at CRA during audits, file T2 corporate returns claiming the small business deduction at Alberta’s combined rate of 11% on the first $500,000 of active business income, and provide licensed tax planning advice. General bookkeepers record transactions. CPA firms record, report, file, represent, and plan.

A T2 corporate tax return is due six months after your corporation’s fiscal year-end, with any balance owing due two or three months after year-end depending on your corporation type.

Bookkeeping records daily transactions, reconciles accounts, and files GST returns. Accounting builds on those records to prepare financial statements, file T1 and T2 returns, and provide CPA-licensed tax planning advice.
