Most small business entrepreneurs face the challenge of balancing their time between their core operations and administrative duties, including the necessary activity of bookkeeping. Lack of timely financial information can jeopardize their ability to obtain financing, monitor performance, save taxes, and get the right value for the business in case of its sale.
Currently, there are several small non-designated bookkeeping firms offering support at very low rates, but unfortunately in most of such cases the famous saying "You get what you pay for" holds true. Our professionally designated staff will provide you with quality services at competitive rates to meet your business needs. We will work with you to determine a cost-effective record-keeping system to provide timely financial information. We can also help you to acquire the most appropriate technology to accomplish your business objectives most efficiently and economically.

When you are starting a new business, the first decision is determining the business structure that is most appropriate for your organization. There are essentially four forms of business ownership in Canada: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Corporation and the Cooperative.
We will help you to identify the most appropriate form of business, based on your needs. We will also assist you in the process of business registration, including registration for HST, payroll, import/export for trade and WSIB.

Main advantages and disadvantages of each of these forms of business ownership:
The Sole Proprietorship
Advantages

- Owner solely controls the business
Disadvantages
- Unlimited liability
- Can be hard to raise capital
The Corporation
Advantages
- Limited liability
- Easier to raise capital
Disadvantages
- Most expensive form of business to set up
- Involves extensive paperwork
The Partnership
Advantages
- Shared risk
- Shared management
Disadvantages

Incorporation creates a distinct legal entity separate from its shareholders/owners. Limited liability is one of the primary reasons that businesses prefer incorporation. The shareholders are generally not personally liable for the company's debts, obligations, or other acts. A shareholder is only liable for the unpaid portion of shares owned. Businesses can be incorporated provincially, giving a company the right to operate in a particular province. Federal incorporation allows a company the right to operate throughout Canada.
We will help you prepare a long-term strategic business plan, projecting your business financial needs and future performance. Preparing your plan and accompanying financial data can be time consuming and requires special skills, due to the dynamic nature of the economic environment.
We will prepare your business plan and projected financial statements to determine if it will generate an adequate return in a reasonable amount of time. The plan and financial projections will show how the business will use the funds and how will it perform in the long term.

Determining financial needs:
The business financial plan will help you determine how much funds you will need for working capital (for day-to-day and month-to-month operating costs), fixed costs (for equipment, buildings, etc.), special marketing costs (for advertising, promotions, etc.) and a financing cushion.
Projecting performance:
The business plan will be based on the realistic future market conditions, working capital needs, production capacity and human resources consistent with the level of growth in line with current economic conditions. The business plan will include the annual projections for a period of 1 to 5 years, a detailed monthly cash flow budget for the first year and sensitivity analyses of the projections under different scenarios.
We see the function of accounting and finance as one of the business pillars, which if planned correctly, sets the course of direction and ensures flawless future growth.
