Are you a landscaper in the Calgary area? If you are in need of financial services, we offer full-service bookkeeping and tax preparation to small companies just like yours!
Accounting Services for Calgary Landscaping Companies
Accounting isn’t fun, especially if you enjoy working outside. Many small businesses fall into the trap of doing their own bookkeeping and tax return filing. Let us do it for you!
We can confidently provide these services for Landscaping Services in Calgary:
✅Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation
We enter and reconcile financial data from your business accounts to ensure proper recording of your business income and expenses.
✅GST/HST Remittance Filing
GST needs to be filed on a periodic basis setup between your business and the CRA. Not filing and paying GST on or before the designated date can lead to fines, penalties, and interest. We can help you file GST remittances on-time and avoid costly penalties with the CRA.
✅ Payroll Services
Landscaping is labour intensive, meaning your business heavily relies on employees and subcontractors. We can help calculate CPP, CPP2, EI, and Income Tax Withholding, and file T4’s, T5’s, and T5018 for subcontractors.
✅ Bookkeeping & Record keeping
We provide bookkeeping services, calculating all your business income and expenses so that you can track the growth of your business and learn what services are making you the most money, and which ones may not be worth your time. You can also budget based on prior period financial data.
✅ Year-End Reporting
We provide you with year-end financial statements and reports. These include Profit & Loss statements, Balance Sheets, and Notice To Reader statements, and are used to prepare the T2 Corporate tax returns for your landscaping company.
✅ Tax Filing Services
We meticulously prepare your T2 Corporate tax return at your company’s fiscal year-end, paying close attention to maximizing allowable deductions so that you don’t pay anymore than you are legally obligated to.
✅ Small Business Strategizing
We can calculate tax implications on possible scenarios, such as selling the company, buying a competitor’s business, or change of shareholders to the company.
Types of Landscapers we offer Bookkeeping & Tax Prep To
As a bookkeeping and tax preparation service, we are looking to partner with residential landscapers, commercial landscapers, landscape architects, maintenance contractors, Seasonal Decorators, holiday lighting businesses, lawn care companies, gardeners, yard maintenance, tree trimmers, landscape designers, snow removal services, irrigation system installers, pest control companies, hardscapers, and tree planters. We have built long-term relationships with companies like these and know the accounting side to these landscaping businesses.
When should your Landscaping Small Business Look for a Bookkeeping & Tax Service?
If you’re a busy landscaper, but not a big enough company to hire a full-time accountant, you could benefit from our services.
Many landscapers in Calgary have no problem staying busy, but there are only a few landscaping companies that are large enough to have their own office space with a full-time accountant.
Most landscapers fall into the category of being busy with 1-10 employees and a couple of trucks, but not big enough to invest in the overhead cost of professional office staff.
These companies (1-10 employees or Subs) are exactly who we work with and who get the best value from our services.
What Features should Landscapers Look for in A Bookkeeping Service?
As bookkeepers and tax preparers, we find that we build the best relationships with small business entrepreneurs like landscapers and tradesmen because we offer the best value for these types of businesses.
They choose our services because our rates are very reasonable and our expertise is comparable to that of a seasoned licensed professional, and many times exceeds that.
We’ve been doing business in Calgary for nearly 20 years and understand it is a fast-paced city to work in with lots of opportunity for small businesses.
With this opportunity comes accounting services that think they can do sub-par work and get top dollar.
We know this can be frustrating and we’ve built our business on providing high-value services at an affordable price, so that we can retain our customers for life.
How Using a Bookkeeping & Tax Preparation Service Contributes to Your Landscaping Business
After a client comes on with us, they will find that they have more time to focus on their business instead of trying to balance the books themselves.
Many of the small businesses we take on have had a run-in with the CRA in the past, whether that be an unexpectedly large tax bill one year, an audit, a missed GST payment, or unable to pay taxes.
You don’t have to get to that point to outsource the bookkeeping, but many people wait until then, especially contractors for some reason.
Many clients will feel a sense of relief and not be worried all the time about falling out of compliance with the CRA.
If you are a landscaping business in the Calgary area and need a bookkeeper now, we can help you today! Give us a call and we will be happy to help you.
