Two ways to buy
Accounting firms in Canada usually take a dedicated team under their own brand. Businesses usually take a managed engagement priced on volume.

Payroll in Canada
Who does the payroll work?
Qualified accountants in our Canada pod, trained specifically on ASPE and the CRA requirements. They work on your files only, and every deliverable is checked by a second reviewer before it reaches you.
Do you file with the CRA on our behalf?
No. We prepare, reconcile and document; your licensed practitioner reviews, signs and files. That keeps professional responsibility exactly where it belongs and means you carry no licensing risk from working with us.
How quickly can payroll move across?
Twelve working days from signed scope to first reviewed deliverable in most cases. We document the process first, run two cycles in parallel with your existing team, then take it over once output matches.
What does it cost?
Dedicated accountants start at $1,850 per month; managed engagements are priced on transaction volume from $450 per entity per month. Indicative rates and volume bands are on the pricing page, quoted in CAD if you prefer.
