Specialized tax work for Albertan individuals and businesses
Personal returns, self-employment income and small-business bookkeeping — prepared thoroughly, filed on time, and explained before anything is signed.
The practice
Founded in 2024, and now past two hundred returns filed for around ninety clients — alongside bookkeeping engagements that keep the year in order rather than reconstructing it each spring.

How an engagement runs
An initial call
An unhurried conversation about what has been filed, what is outstanding, and whether this is work the practice should take on.
A written scope and fee
What is included, what is not, and what it costs — agreed in writing before any work begins. The invoice matches the estimate.
The work is done
Records brought into order first where they need it, then the filings. You will know what is outstanding and when each piece is due to land.
It stays current
Filings run to a calendar you can see, and material decisions are raised with you beforehand rather than explained afterwards.
What you should expect from this work
You see it before it is filed
Nothing is submitted to CRA until you have reviewed the draft and understood what it states. No return is filed on your behalf sight unseen.
Fees agreed in advance
A flat fee against a written scope, agreed before the work begins — not an invoice assembled afterwards from time you never saw.
Explained, not just filed
You will be told what a position costs and what it risks, in terms precise enough to act on without seeking a second opinion.
Ahead of the deadline
Deadlines are worked backwards from, not towards. Nothing material is discovered in the final week.
Referred, not strung along
Where something falls outside what this practice does, you will be pointed to someone who does it — at the moment it comes up, not after the bill.
Set up for next year
You will finish the engagement knowing which records to keep and how. Most of what is lost at tax time is lost to record-keeping, not to the rules.
Where the practice helps
Personal tax returns (T1)
Your T1 prepared and filed properly — for the years where boxed software stops being enough and a wrong answer costs real money.
Self-employed and small-business tax
For sole proprietors and side businesses — the business schedule done properly, with the expense questions answered before you file.
Bookkeeping
Full-cycle bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online — reconciled monthly, or brought back into order if it has slipped.

The two tax dates that matter, and the one people get wrong
Most people know April 30. Fewer know that being self-employed moves your filing date but not your payment date, which is where the interest comes from.

Should you incorporate? The honest answer is usually 'not yet'
Incorporation gets recommended far earlier than it should. Here is the arithmetic that actually decides it, and the costs nobody mentions up front.

The $30,000 GST threshold catches people mid-year
It is not an annual test you check each January. It is a rolling one, and how fast the obligation lands depends on which way you crossed it.
Last year's return to start from, your slips as they arrive, and — if there is a business — whatever records exist, in whatever state they are in. You get a checklist up front so nothing is chased twice, and anything missing is flagged early rather than on the filing deadline.
No. Engagements are taken on one at a time, and only where the work is something this practice does well. If it is not a fit — the wrong kind of return, or no room left in the season — you will be told at the first call rather than a month later.
