Business Consulting & Accounting Services
Business accountants at Ghion Tax and Accounting Services Inc. can do all your bookkeeping
and also help with preparing your financial statements, reports and tax filing.
Payroll & Bookkeeping:
Maintaining proper books and records for your company is vitally important for
several reasons. The first that most people think about is that Canada Revenue
Agency requires anyone who carries on a business or is engaged in a commercial
activity in Canada to keep records containing information to enable the determination
of their liabilities and obligations. This in itself can be a very time consuming task.
Another reason to keep proper books and records is to assist the business owner
with making timely strategic and relevant business decisions. The information that
you can obtain from your company’s financial books is priceless allowing you to
change direction or pursue avenues so that you can take advantage of opportunities
as they arise to keep you ahead of your competitors or to just make your business
more successful. To do this you need accurate and timely information.
At Ghion Tax and Accounting Services Inc we can help in a variety of ways. Below
are just some of the areas we can help:
●Setting up books and records – we can help with setting up the books and records
based on your needs. Maybe you need a computerized system, maybe a manual
system will work for you. We will take the time to assess your needs and set you up
based on your requirements. We will also help with training staff.
●Bookkeeping – bookkeeping entails the recording of the transactions of the
operations of the business. What do you need help with? We can do all your
bookkeeping or assist with specific areas like paying your bills, bank reconciliations,
reviewing your books regularly and reporting to you. We are versed in numerous
accounting programs including QuickBooks, Sage, and Business Vision, SAP,
Deltek, Oracle, Simply Accounting and various other programs.
●Reporting – how do you figure out your liabilities for GST and PST? Without proper
systems in place you can very easily under report your obligations to the
government. We can help with putting systems in place to ensure that your filing
obligations are met and we can even file your returns for you so you have one less
thing to worry about.

Financial Statement Reporting:
There are three main types of financial reporting that a business can require: An
audit, a review, or a compilation. All three involve an independent accountant
providing an opinion on the fairness of the operations of the business represented in
its financial statements.
An audit provides 95% assurance that there are no material misstatements in the
statements of the business. (A material misstatement is an error or omission that
could cause a reader of the statements to form a different opinion based on those
statements. For example an investor wouldn’t invest if he knew of that error or
omission). In order to provide this high level of assurance, a lot of testing and
sampling is required by the accountant. Of course that takes time and can be quite
costly.
A review provides 60% assurance that there is no material misstatement in the
statements of the business. To provide this level of assurance, procedures and
testing is required. A lot of questions are asked of management regarding their
policies, procedures and controls in order to form the accountant's opinion.
A compilation or notice to reader engagement provides no assurance there is no
material misstatement. We do still have to ensure the statements are reasonable.
This is the most common form of statements produced and can be used for preparing
corporate income tax returns and for management purposes.
At Ghion Tax and Accounting Services Inc, we can help with preparing your financial
statements and providing an opinion on them. We can do an audit, review or notice to
reader.
Personal & Corporate Tax Returns:
Every corporation is required to file an annual return to report their taxable income
and to calculate their taxes owed. The deadline for filing this return is six months
after the company’s fiscal year end, however taxes owing are due either two months
after the year end or three months after the year end if you are eligible for the one
month extension.
Taxable income is different than accounting income. At Ghion Tax and Accounting
Services Inc we can help with your corporate filing obligations ensuring that you
receive all the deductions you are entitled to.
