Game Development Studios carry their own CRA profile, and generic bookkeeping misses it. For SaaS and digital products, GST/HST place-of-supply rules decide which rate applies to each subscriber, not where the company sits. We price the whole engagement as one cheap fixed fee, quoted before work begins.
What Game Development Studios need from an accountant is not what a generic small business needs. The technology sector carries its own CRA scrutiny, its own deduction profile and its own filing calendar, and a file prepared without that context leaves money and defensibility on the table.
GST/HST on digital products follows place-of-supply rules based on the customer's location, so a Canadian SaaS business can owe 13% on an Ontario subscriber and zero on an export.
Contractor-versus-employee classification is the recurring exposure for engineering teams hired remotely; the payer carries the CPP and EI liability when the CRA reclassifies.
Software developed for internal use is generally a Class 12 or Class 50 capital asset, while software licensed monthly is a current expense — the distinction changes the year the deduction lands.
Stock option benefits are taxable to the employee, and the 50% deduction is capped at $200,000 of annual vesting for non-CCPC options; CCPC options defer the benefit until the shares are sold.
The T661 SR&ED claim must reach the CRA within 18 months of the fiscal year-end. That deadline cannot be extended, and a late claim is simply lost.
A company with employees crosses into accelerated payroll remittance as average monthly withholdings grow, and the schedule tightens without any notice from the CRA.
Holding intellectual property in the operating company simplifies SR&ED but complicates a later share sale; separating it early is cheaper than restructuring under an offer.
Founder shares issued at incorporation, while the company is worth almost nothing, are what makes the lifetime capital gains exemption available on an eventual sale.
Our team works these rules year-round for Game Development Studios, so the planning happens before year-end rather than being explained afterwards.

Growth at a data analytics consultancy in Barrie, Ontario had outrun the back office, and industry-specific reporting obligations nobody had flagged broke first. Headcount reached 61 with $30,500 of cash freed.
A $44,000 reassessment was proposed against a B2B SaaS company in Windsor, Ontario following equipment and asset classes assigned by guesswork rather than the CCA schedule. The documented response reduced it to nil.
An incentive review at a cybersecurity firm in Red Deer, Alberta found development and improvement work written off as ordinary overhead and recovered $21,000 across 4 open years.
A family transfer at an IT managed-services provider in Regina, Saskatchewan would have been fully taxable because of a minute book with no resolutions behind a decade of dividends. Restructuring deferred $550,000.
4 years of returns were outstanding at a fintech startup in Burnaby, British Columbia, on top of a previous accountant with no experience of this sector. Filing on real numbers removed $84,000 of assessed tax.
The structure at a hardware startup in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan no longer fitted the business, and seasonal revenue reported without matching the costs that produced it showed it. Rebuilding it saves $41,000 a year.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
The recurring ones are capital cost allowance on equipment placed in service late in the year, the business-use portion of vehicle and home-office costs, and professional development. Each is defensible when documented at the time and difficult to defend when reconstructed later.
Corporate tax filing starts at $90 and bookkeeping at $10 per month, quoted as a fixed fee before work begins. Sector complexity does not trigger a surcharge. Review the full price list.
Registration is mandatory once taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive quarters. Registering voluntarily below that threshold is often worthwhile, because it lets you recover input tax credits on startup and equipment purchases.
Incorporation usually pays off once profit consistently exceeds what you draw personally, because retained earnings are taxed at the small business rate rather than your marginal rate. Below that point the added compliance cost often outweighs the benefit. We model both before you decide.
The CRA requires six years of books and records from the end of the tax year they relate to: invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and contracts. Digital copies are acceptable provided they are legible and complete.
We run the cycle, remit source deductions on schedule, and issue T4s ahead of the February deadline. Late remittances draw a penalty of up to 10% and repeat lateness raises it to 20%, so timing is the whole game. See our payroll service.
Yes. We work in QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Sage, spreadsheets, and plain scanned documents. You are not required to migrate systems to become a client, and we never charge a conversion fee.
