Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about payroll.

ServicesWhat do your payroll services include?

Processing pay for your employees, calculating source deductions, remitting them to the Canada Revenue Agency and preparing year-end T4 slips.

ServicesCan payroll change as our staff changes?

Yes. Payroll is adjusted as staff join, leave or change hours through the year, including seasonal staff.

Your informationWhat records will you need for tax and payroll work?

We explain which records are needed for your services and when to provide them, and we agree how documents will be shared before you send them.

FeesHow are your fees determined?

Fees are quoted for each engagement and sized to your business. They depend on the services you need, the volume of transactions and the condition of your records: clean monthly statements take less work than a year of receipts in a box. We agree fees before work begins and discuss any additional work with you first.
