Tax and Accounting Fees
Red Castle Ridge, Yukon
Our fees depend on the services required, the complexity of your situation, the quality and organization of the records provided, and the amount of tax planning, analysis, or professional judgment involved. Work involving multiple jurisdictions, including Canada-U.S. or Québec tax filings and foreign income or assets, may also affect the cost.
Tax Return Preparation Fees
Typical fees are as follows:
- Personal tax return preparation starts at $550
- Corporate tax returns start at $2,250
- Compilation engagements, including financial statements and the corporate tax return, start at $4,000
- Trust tax returns generally start at $1,500
Fees for simpler nil corporate or trust returns or for bare trust returns may be available at a lower cost.
Bookkeeping and Payroll Fees
Bookkeeping and payroll services are available on an hourly or monthly basis. Setup, cleanup, and project work are generally billed at $100 per hour. Ongoing bookkeeping packages currently range from $950 to $3,400 per month, depending on the volume of transactions and services required. Payroll base fees start at $125 per month plus $5 per employee.
Certain tax situations may involve additional fees, including rental properties, self-employment or farming activities, foreign asset reporting, non-resident filings, GST/HST/QST returns, and bookkeeping cleanup. Software subscriptions and applicable sales taxes are additional.
We provide fee guidance before beginning an engagement and can often quote a fixed fee once we understand your circumstances and review the information available.
We maintain a dedicated, year-round team of accounting and tax professionals. This provides greater continuity for individuals, incorporated business owners, trusts, and estates whose circumstances may change over time. Where appropriate, our tax work can also be coordinated with advice-only financial planning provided separately by Objective Financial Partners.
