Once the records are sufficiently complete, we coordinate the preparation and filing of the applicable corporate or personal income-tax returns, including self-employment activity where relevant.

Typical work may include:

• T2 corporate income-tax returns;

• T1 personal returns and sole-proprietor schedules;

• prior-period information gathering;

• notices of assessment review; and

• CRA authorization and communication where included in the engagement.

We review outstanding periods, reconcile available records and help prepare the information required to bring indirect-tax and payroll accounts current.

Typical work may include:

• HST/GST return preparation and reconciliation;

• payroll account and remittance review;

• T4/T4A information coordination; and

• identification of missing or inconsistent records.

Clean records should become useful information. We prepare the agreed financial reporting and help management understand what the numbers say about the business.

Typical work may include:

• internal financial statements;

• compilation engagements when separately agreed and professionally permitted;

• management reporting;

• cash-flow and working-capital analysis; and

• lender-ready information packages.

Tax compliance is only part of corporate compliance. We help organize corporate records and recurring entity obligations so important filings do not disappear into a desk drawer.

Typical work may include:

• corporate-profile and status review;

• annual-return tracking and coordination;

• registers, resolutions and minute-book organization;

• business-name and licence renewal tracking;

• director, officer and shareholder record coordination; and

• recurring compliance calendars.

Entity-management services do not constitute legal advice. Legal work is referred to or coordinated with an appropriately licensed legal professional where required.

Current records can make it easier to evaluate financing options and present the business credibly. Where appropriate, Cedargrove or an affiliated business may help assess capital readiness after the accounting foundation is repaired.

Financing is subject to underwriting, eligibility, lender requirements and separate engagement terms. No financing approval is promised.

Where included in the engagement and after the required authorization is in place, an appropriately authorized professional may communicate with the CRA regarding agreed matters. Authorization does not guarantee a particular CRA decision or outcome.

Missing records are common in catch-up engagements. We first identify available third-party sources and material gaps. Any estimates, assumptions or unresolved items must be handled according to applicable tax and professional requirements.

We cannot promise that interest or penalties will be reduced or cancelled. We can help establish the facts, complete agreed filings and identify whether relief options should be reviewed with an appropriately qualified tax professional.

Timing depends on the number of periods, transaction volume, condition of the records, complexity of the entity and how quickly requested information is provided. We provide an estimated work plan after the preliminary review.

Yes. The preferred outcome is a recurring bookkeeping, reporting, tax and entity-management calendar that keeps the business current.

Reliable financial records are often required to evaluate a financing request and may improve readiness. Approval remains subject to lender underwriting, eligibility, security, cash flow and other requirements.

We treat inquiries with care and limit the initial discussion to information needed to understand the situation. A public inquiry does not itself create a professional-client relationship. Do not submit sensitive records through the website.
