Most law firms are professional corporations
Practising through a law professional corporation changes what you owe and when. Your corporation files a T2, the partners and sole practitioners behind it file personal returns, and HST applies to your legal fees. We treat all of it as one coordinated tax engagement, a full standalone accounting service prepared and filed by a CPA, so nothing is missed and every deadline is met.

Tax filing built for legal practices
Prepared and filed by a CPA
Every return is prepared and reviewed by a Chartered Professional Accountant, not seasonal software or a part time preparer.
Corporate and personal in sync
We file your firm's T2 and the partners' personal returns together, so salary, dividends, and drawings line up across both.
Deductions that stand up
We claim the professional expenses your practice is entitled to, from LSO dues to insurance and software, and nothing that puts you at risk.
Deadlines you never miss
We track your corporate year end, personal deadlines, and HST periods, so filings and balances are handled before they are due.
Filed by a CPA, from start to finish
Your firm's returns are prepared, reviewed, and filed by a Chartered Professional Accountant. That means accurate numbers, defensible claims, and filings that are ready to stand up to CRA review.
