Common situations
Most compliance work starts with one of these. None of them are the end of the world — they just need someone who knows what to do, doing it on time.
Got a CRA letter you don't understand
Most are routine — we'll tell you which ones are and which ones need real action. Either way, we draft and send the response.
Got reassessed and disagree
We review the basis for the reassessment, gather supporting documentation, and file a Notice of Objection within the 90-day window.
Behind on filing or missed income
The Voluntary Disclosures Program can eliminate penalties (and much of the interest) if you come forward before CRA reaches out — after that, the relief shrinks sharply. We assess which tier you qualify for and file the disclosure.
Need an HST election
Section 156 (closely-related corporations), Section 167 (sale of a business), ITC apportionment for mixed-use assets — we prepare and file the elections that protect your position.
Under audit or pre-assessment review
We act as your representative end-to-end: respond to information requests, organize records, attend meetings, and negotiate where it helps.
How it works
Send us what you got
Forward the CRA letter, the reassessment notice, or whatever's keeping you up at night. We'll review and tell you what it actually means.
We map the response
A CPA reviews your file, identifies the right path — objection, adjustment, election, voluntary disclosure — and walks you through it before we act.
We file, follow up, and close it out
We prepare the response, submit it, and stay on the file until CRA confirms. You get updates, not silence.
CRA deadlines move fast
Objection windows are typically 90 days from the date on the notice. Voluntary disclosure relief comes in tiers, and the generous one goes to people who apply before CRA reaches out. Once CRA has contacted you about the issue, the relief shrinks sharply. If the envelope has a date on it, send it now — don't wait to “have time” to read it.
