We strive for excellence in every engagement, delivering work that is accurate, thorough, and genuinely useful. We put our clients' interests first in every decision we make. And we are always looking for ways to improve our services, our processes, and our team. Every year, millions of Canadians must file their personal income tax returns with the CRA. For many, this is a straightforward process — but for others, it involves navigating complex rules around self-employment income, rental income, investment income, capital gains, foreign income, and various federal and provincial tax credits and deductions. BOMCAS Canada simplifies this process for individuals across Canada. Our personal tax accountants review your complete financial picture to prepare an accurate T1 return that maximizes your refund and minimizes your tax payable. BOMCAS Canada provides comprehensive corporate tax services to corporations of all sizes across Canada. From newly incorporated small businesses to established corporations with complex multi-jurisdictional structures, our team has the expertise to handle your corporate tax needs efficiently and accurately. Our corporate tax services include T2 corporate income tax filing, corporate tax planning, identification of all available deductions and credits, and representation during CRA audits and reviews. Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping is the foundation of every successful business. BOMCAS Canada provides professional bookkeeping services using leading cloud accounting platforms, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage. We maintain accurate records, reconcile accounts, manage payables and receivables, and provide regular financial reports so you always know where your business stands financially. Managing payroll is a time-consuming and compliance-intensive task that many Canadian businesses prefer to outsource to professionals. BOMCAS Canada provides comprehensive payroll services, including calculation of employee pay, deduction of income tax, CPP contributions, and EI premiums, preparation and remittance of payroll deductions to the CRA, issuance of T4 and T4A slips at year end, and management of Records of Employment when employees leave. Most Canadian businesses are required to register for GST/HST and file regular returns. BOMCAS Canada handles all aspects of your GST/HST compliance, including registration, preparation and filing of returns, claiming of input tax credits, and representation during CRA audits of GST/HST accounts. We ensure that your returns are accurate and filed on time, avoiding the costly penalties and interest charges that result from late or inaccurate filing. If you or your business receives a CRA audit notice, BOMCAS Canada is here to help. We provide comprehensive CRA audit representation services, working with the CRA auditor on your behalf, responding to information requests, preparing documentation, and negotiating settlements where appropriate. Our experience with CRA audits allows us to navigate the process efficiently and effectively, protecting your interests throughout. Proactive tax planning is one of the most valuable services we offer. Rather than simply reacting to your tax situation at year end, we work with you throughout the year to identify tax saving opportunities and implement strategies that reduce your overall tax burden. This may include income splitting strategies, timing of income and deductions, optimal use of RRSP and TFSA contribution room, corporate restructuring, and other planning techniques that are appropriate for your situation. Beyond accounting and tax, BOMCAS Canada provides a range of business advisory services to help our clients achieve their business goals. We assist with business planning, financial projections, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, incorporation advisory, and strategic financial advice. Our business advisory services are grounded in a deep understanding of the financial realities facing Canadian businesses, and we provide practical, actionable advice that you can actually use. While BOMCAS Canada is based in Edmonton, Alberta, we serve clients across all of Canada. Our team has experience with the tax rules and economic conditions in every province and territory, allowing us to provide advice and services that are genuinely relevant to your specific location and situation. We offer both in-person services at our Edmonton office and fully remote services for clients anywhere in Canada.
