Corporations on both sides of the border

Your business crosses the border. So do your filings.

A Canadian corporation selling into the US or a US LLC owned from Canada can owe filings in both countries. The books behind each one have to agree. We keep the books and prepare the returns for every entity, with one team across both sides.

We actually answer. Typical reply in under 15 minutes during business hours.

Who this is for

Which of these is your business this year?

  • Your Canadian corporation sells into the US, and nobody has told you whether that means a US filing.
  • You own a US LLC or C-Corp from Canada and you are unsure which returns each country expects.
  • Your corporate return is due and the year's books are still a pile of statements.
  • You keep one set of records in Canada and another in the US, and the two never line up.
  • Money moves between your entities, and the terms behind it were never written down.
  • You are planning a second entity and want to know what it adds to your filings before you set it up.

Recognise your business in one of these? Book the consult and we will map which filings your structure triggers on each side, and what each one costs, before you commit to anything.

What changes a fee

Your fee is scoped and agreed in writing before we start. It moves for one reason only: the work moves. These are the things that change it.

  • The number of entities in the group
  • A US entity alongside the Canadian corporation, and the reporting between them
  • Catch-up years, or books that need cleanup before a return can be prepared
  • Payroll, which the annual cycle leaves out and the monthly retainer includes
  • Year-end financial statements on top of the corporate return
  • Management reporting or CFO support beyond bookkeeping and compliance

Anything that changes the fee is agreed with you before the work happens. Never after.

Fixed fees

How annual bookkeeping and tax is priced here

Every fee is fixed, quoted on the consult, and confirmed in writing before any work starts. The number of entities, catch-up years and payroll are what move it.

Annual bookkeeping and tax, per entity

One entity's full year: the books, HST/GST, the T2 and its tax slips, prepared and filed by one team. Payroll is quoted separately.

from $1,400 CAD

  • A full year of bookkeeping for one entity
  • HST/GST filed where you are registered
  • T2 prepared and filed, tax slips issued
  • A tax consultant reviews before filing

While we are in there

Books are usually where the reporting question surfaces.

Foreign accounts and foreign-held property show up in the ledger long before anyone asks about the filing that goes with them. If we see one, we will tell you.

Do you also have reporting to file?
Indicative only, not tax advice

If your business holds accounts or property outside the country you file in, FBAR or T1135 reporting may sit on top of the return. Two questions give you an indicative read.

Questions

What owners ask before they hand over the books

My Canadian corporation sells into the US. Does it have to file there?
It depends on what the corporation does in the US. Selling from Canada is treated differently from having staff, property or an office there, and some situations call for a US return even when the tax treaty means no US tax is owed. The consult establishes which filings your activity triggers, before you pay for any of them. US corporate returns are covered on our US Tax page.
I own a US LLC from Canada. What does that add?
Filings on both sides. A US LLC owned from Canada has US reporting of its own, often including Form 5472 for dealings with its owner. Canada treats the LLC as a corporation, which can bring the T1134 into play for the Canadian owner. That work sits with Cross-Border US and Canada Tax, and the consult confirms which pieces your setup needs.
Should I pick annual or monthly bookkeeping?
Annual suits a single entity with modest, steady activity: we bring the year together once and file from it. Monthly suits owners with payroll, more than one entity or HST filings through the year, and it runs as a retainer from $2,450 CAD a year. The consult is where we look at your volume and recommend one. How the monthly close runs is on our Bookkeeping page.
What does the from $1,400 CAD fee cover?
One entity's annual cycle: the year's bookkeeping, HST/GST filings, the T2 and the tax slips that go with it. Payroll sits outside it. A second entity, a US entity alongside or catch-up years move the fee, and you get the fixed number in writing before you agree to anything.
We are setting up a second entity. Where do we start?
Before you incorporate. The structure you pick decides which returns each side expects every year after, so it is cheapest to settle first. Company Formation covers single and multi-entity setups, from $997 CAD for one entity. If the question is how the group should run its finances, that is a Virtual CFO conversation, scoped as a custom engagement.
