the whole team
Incorporating federally or provincially, then getting the CRA side switched on properly the first time.
Books behind, payroll to run, HST to file, and a T2 corporate tax return coming up.
A personal tax return in Canada, income or assets in India, or a benefit or credit you're not sure you've claimed.

One practice for the recurring work and the once-a-year work, so nothing falls between two providers.

day one, done right
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.
Structure, share classes, province, and whether incorporating now is even the right move for you.
Name search, articles and filing, federally or in your province, with the paperwork kept in one place.
Business number plus the GST/HST and payroll accounts your situation calls for.
Bookkeeping, payroll and a corporate year-end calendar so the first T2 isn’t a scramble.
tools, not magic
We work day-to-day in QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage and Tally, and we use AI-assisted workflows to speed up receipt capture, coding suggestions and anomaly checks. Every AI-assisted step is reviewed by a professional before anything is posted, filed or relied on. You keep ownership of your file, on your own subscription.
two countries, one file
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 supportworth checking
Benefits and credits are tied to returns being filed correctly and on time. We review your situation, flag what may apply, and help you prepare the supporting information, without predicting how the CRA will decide any application.
Most missed credit? The one nobody asked about.
We go through the list with you once a year. It takes ten minutes and occasionally pays for the return.

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

Bookkeeping
The order we work in when a Toronto small business hands us twelve months of unreconciled transactions.
Corporate tax
A working checklist of the statements, balances and documents that make a corporate year-end straightforward.
Incorporation
The questions we ask before recommending business incorporation services, and when we suggest waiting.
in their words
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.
“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.
“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.
