day one, done right

Business incorporation services, productized for Canada

Incorporation is the easy part. What trips people up is everything immediately after it, the business number, the GST/HST account, the payroll account, the bookkeeping file, and the first corporate year-end. We package all of it into one guided path with a named person to ask.

  • Federal or provincial incorporation, name search and articles
  • CRA business number, GST/HST and payroll program accounts
  • QuickBooks Online or Desktop, Xero, Sage or Tally set up with your chart of accounts
  • Bookkeeping, payroll and corporate tax readiness from month one
See the incorporation path
  1. Consultation

    Structure, share classes, province, and whether incorporating now is even the right move for you.

  2. Incorporate

    Name search, articles and filing, federally or in your province, with the paperwork kept in one place.

  3. CRA setup

    Business number plus the GST/HST and payroll accounts your situation calls for.

  4. Run it

    Bookkeeping, payroll and a corporate year-end calendar so the first T2 isn’t a scramble.

two countries, one file

India and Canada taxation, handled together

If you've moved between India and Canada, still hold property, deposits or a business back home, or send money across, your two tax positions need to be looked at side by side. We help you work through residency, foreign income and reporting obligations carefully, and we tell you plainly when a question needs specialist counsel in either country.

Canada–India tax support

Questions we're asked most

  • Am I a resident of Canada for tax purposes this year?
  • Do I have to report property or deposits I still hold in India?
  • How is rental or interest income from India treated on my Canadian return?
  • What should I sort out before my first Canadian tax season?
  • Do I still have to file in India after moving to Canada?
  • Can I claim credit here for tax already paid in India?
  • Does money my family sends me get taxed in Canada?
  • What happens to my NRE and NRO accounts once I'm a resident?
  • I sold property in India, what does Canada need to see?
  • Do my Indian mutual funds or shares need to be reported?

Family and income benefits

Keeping returns current so benefit and credit entitlements are assessed on accurate, up-to-date information.

Business credits and filings

Identifying credits and rebates your corporation may be eligible to claim, and preparing the documentation to support them.

What clients say after the first year

Most people come to us mid-problem. Here's what they say once the books are current and the deadlines are somebody else's job to track.

  • “They caught up two years of books and never once made me feel stupid about it.”

    Twelve months of receipts in a shoebox, a GST/HST account that had never been filed, and a deadline three weeks out. Sorted, and it has stayed sorted.

    Priya S.Toronto, ON · Retail
  • “First accountant who explained the T2 in words I could repeat to my partner.”

    We incorporated with a2z and they handled the CRA accounts, payroll and the software setup in one go. Nothing fell between two providers.

    Marc D.Calgary, AB · Trades
  • “Both countries, one conversation.”

    I still have property and deposits in India. They walked through residency and reporting with me carefully instead of guessing, and told me plainly where a specialist was needed.
