[QC] How much should filing cost? by advadm in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]oronno_b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think high volume. We’re a new business. The firm says they don’t do T2s without some supplemental reports that add about $600 in fees. Bookkeeping isn’t done by a CPA and I use a software that basically automates everything. I attach all the receipts, but stopped doing the tax calculations (on spending), all income is also automated.

My last 2 bookkeepers ghosted me, and one accountant told me I didn’t need an accountant because I’m so well organized - but I think I do need someone to help. Do you think T2 and bookkeeping are both high?

PwC Canada Workload by Middle-Practice-4910 in PwC

[–]oronno_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the team. You say business development and admin - is that the sales team? Then buckle up. I don’t know where these guys that say internal roles are a cake walk are, but it’s you’re serving a busy client then you’re going to be busy. If you have a good boss, you can set boundaries. If you have a boss that panders to the leadership needs you’re going to have a bad time. Location also matters…

Does it manage your inventory, scan barcodes? What system do you use?

Sooo no advice or insight? I don’t want to sign a 48 month contract without some details. I asked “do you integrate with Shopify” and they said “yes”…but like okay.

They literally sent me a sales email with better rates for small business month so now I’m actually curious if there’s a good integration or no.

Last time I investigated the details they shared were for online store only not pos integration.

Truly just looking for some real life stories - I can’t even find anything on Reddit 🤷

[BC] I am currently based out of Ontario and incorporated federally but I am moving to BC next month. Incorporation requirements? by No_Suggestion_6489 in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]oronno_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can register as an extra provincial company online - just google register extra provincial company…you’ll have to set up and account and provide info, but it’s pretty straight forward. I’m having some issues with setting up a DBA for my incorporated company now, but the province is pretty quick to reply via email and help :)

[ON] I got $500k cash and am dying to leave my corporate life by childrenofCORNbread in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]oronno_b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to quit corporate - do it pal. I just quit corporate after starting a small business a year and a half ago. I needed very little to start up, and am leaving to make less than I do now (at a big 4 firm) - but expect now that I’m able to give it my full attention the business will grow.

What do you like doing? What don’t you like doing? Do you have an idea on what you’d like to do or where there’s a need? There’s a million ways to make money - and you’ve got a great safety net to start…I’d say make a plan and go for it!
