Industries We Serve
Last reviewed: August 2026
Three industries we know better than the rest, and general practice for incorporated owner-managed businesses outside them. That split is deliberate.
A general practice accountant can file anyone's T2, but the money in small business accounting is not in the return. It is in knowing that an electrician's service van avoids the passenger vehicle cap, that a registered massage therapist charges HST while the physiotherapist beside them does not, and that a med spa gift card is not revenue when sold. Those are different bodies of knowledge, and keeping them current takes real work.
Where we go deep
Industries we know best
Each one has its own body of rules, its own filing obligations and its own way of quietly losing money.
Contractors and trades
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, renovation, cleaning and general contractors. T5018 slips, statutory holdbacks, HST timing on progress billings and substantial completion, work in progress, WSIB coverage that catches owners who assume they are exempt, and the subcontractor versus employee test.
Accounting for contractors and tradesHealth and wellness clinics
Physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, mental health and multi-disciplinary clinics. Which services are exempt and which are taxable, the fact that exempt revenue blocks input tax credit recovery on rent and equipment, apportionment in mixed clinics, and associate contracts.
Accounting for clinicsMed spas and cosmetic clinics
Injectors, nurse practitioners and physician-owned cosmetic practices. The cosmetic versus medical HST line and the input tax credit apportionment behind it, gift cards, prepaid treatment packages, POS and booking platform reconciliation, and paying associates correctly.
Accounting for med spasEveryone else
General owner-managed corporations
Professional services, e-commerce, transport and property holding companies. Salary versus dividends, shareholder loans, the T2 and the family's T1s prepared together so the numbers match, and instalments that do not surprise you in March.
There is no separate page for this because there is no separate body of rules. The work is held to the same standard, and if your industry has rules we do not know, we say so on the first call rather than learning them on your file.
Common ground
What every client gets, whatever the industry
- Corporate tax (T2) and the owner's personal tax (T1) prepared by the same firm
- GST/HST prepared with the rules that actually apply to your industry
- QuickBooks Online bookkeeping, reconciled and closed monthly or quarterly
- Payroll, T4 and T5
- Fixed fees quoted up front, before the work starts
- A conversation before year end rather than after it
