Bestax Accountants Highlights a Decade of Experience as a Canadian Accounting Firm

MISSISSAUGA, ON, October 12, 2026 – Bestax Accountants, a Mississauga tax and accounting firm, has completed ten years of serving Canadian businesses. Since 2015, it has grown to more than 35 professionals, launched over 1,000 companies and opened a second office in Dubai. It also works with clients who have business interests in the USA and Panama.

If you own or run a Canadian business, this release explains what that experience covers, how Bestax works with you and how to get a free review of where your books and filings stand today.

A Decade of Results for Canadian Businesses

The figures below sum up Bestax’s first ten years. They come from the firm’s own records and from public review sites, where you can read client feedback for yourself.

The firm’s work is guided by four values: integrity, confidentiality, accountability and clarity. For you, a decade of practice means your file goes to a team that has already dealt with the problems Canadian businesses face most, from overdue GST/HST returns to CRA reviews.

What Bestax Handles for Your Business

Bestax covers the full financial cycle of a Canadian business, from the day you register to every year-end filing after that. You can hand over one service or all of them.

• Accounting and bookkeeping: Your books are kept monthly or quarterly, your bank and credit card accounts are reconciled, and you get a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow summary. Bestax works in QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho and Sage, so you can usually keep the software you already use.
• Backlog clean-up: If your records are months or years behind, Bestax rebuilds them, reconciles every account and files overdue returns in order, starting with the oldest year.
• Corporate and personal tax: Your T2 is prepared and filed electronically, your tax instalments are planned, and your salary and dividend mix is reviewed each year. Personal returns for owners can be prepared alongside, so the numbers match.
• GST/HST: Bestax registers your account, files your returns, checks every input tax credit against your invoices and tracks each deadline for you.
• Payroll: Pay runs for 1 to 100 employees, with CPP, EI and income tax remitted to the CRA and T4 slips filed at year end. Your employees get a self-service portal for pay stubs.
• Business setup: Federal and provincial incorporation is usually completed within 1 to 3 business days, with your CRA Business Number, GST/HST and payroll accounts opened at the same time.
• Trusts, estates and cross-border tax: T3 returns, estate filings, transfer pricing documentation and foreign tax credits.

One team handles all of it, so your books, payroll and tax returns always match.

Signs It Is Time to Change How Your Books Are Handled

You do not need a crisis to change accountants. These are the situations that most often lead businesses to call Bestax, and each one carries a real cost if it is left alone.

• Your books are months behind. Your T2 is due six months after your year end, and a late return with tax owing adds a penalty of 5% of the balance plus 1% for each full month late, up to 12 months.
• You have missed GST/HST returns. A late return with a balance owing costs 1% of the amount plus 0.25% for each full month, up to 12 months, with interest on top.
• Your corporation still files on paper. For tax years starting after 2023, most corporations must file their T2 electronically, and paper filing can bring a penalty of up to $1,000.
• You received a CRA letter and are not sure what it means. Many letters ask for records within a set time, and a slow or incomplete reply can turn a simple request into a reassessment.
• Your bookkeeper, payroll provider and tax preparer are three different people. When their numbers do not match, you pay for the time it takes to reconcile them.
• No one has reviewed how you pay yourself. The mix of salary and dividends affects your personal tax, your RRSP room and your CPP, and it should be checked every year.

If one of these sounds familiar, the free review at the end of this release is built for your situation.

How Bestax Works With You

Every engagement follows the same steps, so you always know what happens next and who is responsible.

1. Initial consultation: Bestax reviews your current records and reporting, identifies gaps in CRA compliance, and looks at your tax position and where you could save.
2. Bookkeeping and financial management: Your income and expenses are tracked, invoices and receipts are organised, and your bank and credit accounts are reconciled, so your books are ready for reports or a review at any time.
3. Tax planning: Bestax builds a tax plan around your business, identifies the deductions and credits that apply to you, and prepares and files every return on time.
4. Payroll: Wages, bonuses and deductions are calculated, remittances are made and payroll returns are filed.
5. Audit support: If the CRA reviews your business, Bestax prepares your records and works with you through the process.
6. Ongoing advice: Beyond compliance, Bestax helps you read your numbers and plan ahead, so decisions are based on current figures rather than last year’s return.

Why Growing Businesses Choose Bestax

Ready to Switch? Bestax Handles the Handover 

Many owners stay with a provider that is not working because changing feels like a project in itself. With Bestax, most of that work is done for you.

Once you sign the engagement, Bestax requests your records, prior returns and CRA access from your current accountant. The handover is planned around your next filing deadline, so no return is missed or filed twice. If you are moving payroll, Bestax aims to have you running within one payroll cycle. If you need a new accounting system, a standard setup usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, including your chart of accounts, GST/HST tax codes and bank feeds.
