Payroll

Payroll Services in Toronto

Monthly payroll run, CRA source deduction remittances, T4 slips at year-end. Flat monthly rate so payroll is never a surprise.

What we run every pay period

Every payroll engagement covers all four areas. One flat monthly price regardless of how many runs you need.

  • Monthly payroll run

    Gross pay, CPP, EI, and income tax deductions calculated for each employee or owner-manager. Pay stubs generated and sent directly to employees on your schedule.

  • CRA remittances

    Source deductions remitted to CRA on time every period. We track your remittance schedule (regular, quarterly, or accelerated) and confirm each payment.

  • T4 slips and T4 Summary

    Year-end T4 preparation for all employees and filing of the T4 Summary with CRA by the February 28 deadline. ROE preparation when an employee leaves.

  • New hire and payroll setup

    CRA payroll account registration, employee onboarding, TD1 collection, and first-run setup. We also handle transitions from another provider or manual payroll.

Payroll questions

What small business owners in Ontario ask us most about payroll.

  • When are source deductions due to CRA?

    Most small employers remit by the 15th of the month following the pay period. New employers and those CRA designates as regular remitters follow this schedule. Accelerated remitters (usually businesses with over $25,000 average monthly withholdings) remit twice monthly. We track your classification and never miss a deadline.
  • What is an owner-manager payroll?

    If you run a corporation, you can pay yourself a salary, dividends, or a mix of both. Salary requires a payroll account and T4 filing. Dividends do not. The optimal split depends on your marginal tax rate, RRSP room, CPP contributions, and business income. We model this for you at year-end.
  • Can you issue Records of Employment (ROEs) when employees leave?

    Yes. ROEs must be issued within five calendar days of the first day of interruption of earnings. We prepare and submit ROEs electronically to Service Canada as part of your payroll engagement.
  • We have been doing payroll manually. Can you take it over mid-year?

    Yes. We review your year-to-date figures, reconcile against CRA records, and take over from the next pay period. Any discrepancies are corrected before year-end T4 filing.
  • What happens if CRA has a payroll query or audit?

    Payroll audit support is included in your engagement. We respond to CRA correspondence, provide working papers, and represent you through the review.
