How it works

Getting started is easy

1

Say hello

Message us on Facebook Messenger. Tell us, in your own words, what you need — a return filed, books cleaned up, a question answered. No question is too small.

2

We tell you what to bring

You get a short, plain list of the slips and documents for your situation — T4s, receipts, last year’s return — so nothing is missing when we start.

3

Review, then file

We prepare the work, walk you through the result before anything is filed, and explain it until it makes sense. Nothing goes in without your okay.

What to bring

For a typical personal return, it helps to have these on hand. Not everyone needs every item — this is a general starting list so you can gather what applies to you before your appointment.

  • T4 slips from employers, and any other income slips you received
  • T5 slips for interest, dividends, and other investment income
  • RRSP contribution receipts
  • Medical expense receipts and charitable donation receipts
  • Your prior-year return or notice of assessment, if you have it
  • Your Social Insurance Number (SIN)
  • Direct deposit information — for example, a void cheque or your banking details for a refund

General information only — your situation may need different documents. If you’re unsure about an item, bring what you have and ask when you get in touch.

Why AAAT

The office neighbours come back to

No call centres, no jargon, no runaround — just knowledgeable help from Kim, our lead accountant, and a small team that treats you like a neighbour, because you are one. Clients have trusted Kim for years — one family for 30 years.

Plain language, always

Taxes are confusing enough on their own. We explain what we’re doing and why, in words that make sense — before anything is filed, not after.

Fair, honest prices

Good tax help shouldn’t cost a fortune. You get a clear quote on consultation, before any work starts — and that’s the price you pay.

Here for you every year

One client: “Kim has been doing my taxes for many years. She is fast, efficient and extremely knowledgeable.” Once we know your situation, each year gets a little simpler.

Tips to keep you informed

On Facebook, we share plain-language tips about Canadian tax — the kind of thing we post:

It’s tax season — file on time

Deadlines come around every year, and late filing costs money. If you haven’t filed yet or have a question about your situation, reach out — we’re always happy to help.

Keep your receipts in one folder

The CRA can ask for proof behind claims like medical or childcare expenses. One folder, kept for six years, saves a scramble later.

Questions? Just ask

Not sure what a slip means or whether a credit applies? Message us — we’re always happy to answer questions, before you file, not after.

Common questions

Questions people ask us

General information about filing in Canada — not advice for your specific situation. When in doubt, ask before you file.

What if I’m missing a slip?

It happens often. Many slips, like T4s and T5s, are also sent to the CRA by the issuer, and copies can sometimes be retrieved through CRA My Account or by asking the issuer for a duplicate. It’s generally better to track down a missing slip than to file without it, because the CRA may reassess a return later if income was left out, and an amended return may be needed.

To confirm your situation, message us on Facebook.

I haven’t filed in a few years — can I still file?

In general, yes. Past-year returns can usually still be prepared and filed, and filing them brings your record up to date. You may need slips and records for each year, and any balance owing for a past year may have interest applied by the CRA. Getting caught up is a common starting point, and it’s usually simpler once the years are handled one at a time.

To confirm your situation, message us on Facebook.

Do I need to file if I had little or no income?

Often, filing is still worthwhile even with little or no income. Filing a return is generally how eligibility is assessed for benefits and credits such as the GST/HST credit and certain provincial programs, and it can also create RRSP contribution room. If you had tax withheld from pay, filing is also the way to claim a refund of that amount.

To confirm your situation, message us on Facebook.

What do I do about a CRA letter?

Don’t ignore it — most CRA letters are routine requests for information or receipts, but they include a deadline. Read what the letter is asking for and by when, keep the letter itself, and gather the documents it names. If you’re not sure what it means, get help understanding it before the deadline rather than guessing at a response.

To confirm your situation, message us on Facebook.

What happens after filing?

After a return is filed, the CRA processes it and issues a notice of assessment, which confirms the return as filed or explains any changes the CRA made. Any refund is generally sent by direct deposit or cheque, and any balance owing will show its payment deadline on the notice. Keep your notice of assessment and your receipts — you may need them later, and receipts should generally be kept for six years.

For individuals

Personal tax returns

Your T1 return, prepared from your actual slips and receipts — with credits and deductions checked before anything is filed, and the result explained to you in plain language.

What a personal return typically covers

  • Employment income (T4) and other income slips — investment income, pensions, benefits
  • RRSP contributions and how they affect this year’s return
  • Credits and deductions checked: medical expenses, charitable donations, tuition, childcare, moving and work-from-home expenses where they apply
  • Rental income or self-employment income reported on the right schedules
  • Spousal and family amounts coordinated so credits land where they help most
  • A review of the finished return with you before it is filed
Illustrative example

How it can go

A couple comes in with two T4s, daycare receipts, and a folder of donation slips they weren’t sure counted. The preparer works through each slip, checks the credits the family qualifies for — including ones carried forward from a prior year — and explains the refund or balance owing line by line before filing.

That’s the shape of a typical appointment: bring what you have, ask anything, leave knowing what was filed and why.

Quoted on consultation — fair prices, no obligation, and no pressure.

For businesses

Corporate tax returns

T2 returns for incorporated businesses, prepared from your year-end records and filed on deadline — with the numbers reconciled to your books, not just typed in.

What a corporate return typically covers

  • Year-end financial statements prepared from your bookkeeping records
  • The T2 return and schedules, including capital cost allowance on equipment and vehicles
  • Owner salary vs. dividends reviewed so draws from the company are reported correctly
  • Losses carried back or forward where the rules allow
  • Filing deadlines tracked so the return and any balance owing are on time
  • A plain-language walkthrough of what the company owes and why
Illustrative example

How it can go

A small incorporated contractor finishes its fiscal year with a box of receipts and a bank statement. The records are organized into year-end statements, equipment purchases are sorted into the right capital cost classes, and the T2 is prepared and reviewed with the owner before filing — with next year’s deadlines noted so there’s no scramble.

Quoted on consultation — fair prices, no obligation, and no pressure.

Bookkeeping

Your records kept current month by month — sales, expenses, and bank accounts reconciled regularly — so you always know where the business stands and tax time is routine.

What monthly bookkeeping typically includes

  • Sales and expense transactions recorded and categorized each month
  • Bank and credit card accounts reconciled against statements
  • Receipts and invoices organized so nothing is lost by year-end
  • HST/GST collected and paid tracked for your filing periods
  • A simple monthly summary: what came in, what went out, what’s owed
  • Year-end records handed to tax preparation already in order
Illustrative example

How it can go

A café owner drops off each month’s invoices and statements (or sends photos of them). By mid-month the books are reconciled, the HST owing for the quarter is known well before the deadline, and the owner gets a one-page summary instead of a year-end pile of paper.

Quoted on consultation — fair prices, no obligation, and no pressure.

Tax planning

Plan ahead instead of reacting. We look at your income, credits and deductions before year-end, so there are no surprises when the return is filed.

What tax planning typically includes

  • A look at your income and deductions before year-end, while there is still time to act
  • RRSP contributions timed to the year they help most
  • Credits and deductions checked so nothing you qualify for is missed
  • For business owners, salary vs. dividends reviewed so draws are reported correctly
  • Installments and amounts owing estimated in advance — no surprise balance
  • A plain-language walkthrough of the plan before anything is filed
Illustrative example

How it can go

A client with employment income and a small side business meets us before year-end. We sort out which expenses count, time an RRSP contribution to the year it helps most, and estimate the balance owing in advance — so April brings a plan, not a surprise.

Quoted on consultation — fair prices, no obligation, and no pressure.

Filing & deadlines

Returns filed on time, every time. We e-file with the CRA, track the deadlines that apply to you, and keep a copy of everything filed — so nothing slips past a due date.

What filing with us typically includes

  • Your return prepared from your slips and receipts, and reviewed with you before it is filed
  • E-filed with the CRA — no paper, no mailing
  • Deadlines tracked: personal returns, corporate returns, and instalments where they apply
  • Your notice of assessment explained when it arrives, including any refund or balance owing
  • Copies of everything filed kept on record for you
  • If a deadline was missed, help getting caught up — past-year returns can usually still be filed
Illustrative example

How it can go

A client hasn’t filed in a couple of years and isn’t sure where to start. The slips and records for each year are gathered, the returns are prepared one year at a time, and the record is brought up to date — with the deadlines for each year noted so it doesn’t happen again.

Quoted on consultation — fair prices, no obligation, and no pressure.

Tax questions, answered

Not sure what a slip means, whether you need to file, or what a credit is worth? Ask us — we’re always happy to answer questions, and a straight answer before you file beats a correction after.

What asking us typically looks like

  • Your question answered in plain language — what a slip means, what a credit does, whether you need to file
  • An honest read on whether your situation needs a full return or just an answer
  • What to bring if the question turns into a filing: slips, receipts, last year’s return
  • Deadlines that apply to your situation, so nothing is missed
  • No obligation — if the answer is simple, the answer is the service
Illustrative example

How it can go

A client messages us with a T4 and a question about a credit they’ve never claimed. The answer takes a few minutes, the credit turns out to apply, and the return — when they’re ready — is prepared with it included.
