★★★★★ 5.0 from 80+ Google reviewsManufacturing tax, handled end to end by a CPA
Manufacturers face a tax picture most businesses never see. You buy equipment and machinery that gets written down over time, you may run research and development that earns credits, and you carry inventory that has to be valued correctly at year end. We handle all of it as a complete tax service, from planning through to a corporate return prepared and filed by a Chartered Professional Accountant. Fully virtual, secure digital records, and available to manufacturers across Canada.
Credits and deductions that fit manufacturing
Capital cost allowance
Equipment and machinery are deducted over time through capital cost allowance, and we claim it correctly so your write downs land in the right years.
Talk to us →SR&ED tax credits
If you carry out eligible research and development, the SR&ED program offers a deduction against income and an investment tax credit. We assess where you qualify and file it with your return.
Talk to us →Inventory valuation
Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods valued correctly at year end, so your taxable income reflects real cost, not guesswork.
Talk to us →Credit eligibility and rates depend on your situation. We confirm what applies to you against current CRA rules before we file. See the CRA overview of the SR&ED tax incentives.

Prepared and filed by a CPA
Your corporate return is prepared and filed by a Chartered Professional Accountant, not seasonal software or a part time preparer, so it is accurate and ready for CRA review.
Equipment written down right
We apply capital cost allowance to your machinery and equipment so those major purchases are deducted over time, in the correct classes and years.
Credits you may be leaving behind
Many makers never claim the research and development work they already do. We check your SR&ED eligibility and file it properly through corporate tax (T2).
A standalone tax partner
We file for manufacturers whether or not we keep their books. Prefer both in one place? Pair this with bookkeeping for manufacturers.

E-commerce can get complicated fast with fees and multiple payment platforms. Better Books Canada broke it down in a way that actually made sense. Reports arrive on time and highlight what needs attention. It’s been easier to focus on growth instead of trying to reconcile transactions late at night.![]()

This firm is amazingly detail focused and client centric. I have been using them since the conception of my business and without their expertise and dedication to the numbers of it all I would not be able to flourish the way I am. Furthermore, Bashar is personable, patient, incredibly knowledgeable, timely, trustworthy, genuine and all around a total win to have on any team for financial services.![]()

As a consultant working with federal clients in Ottawa, I needed someone who understood proper documentation and clean records. The team organized everything and set up consistent reporting so nothing slips through the cracks. It has saved hours every month. Things just feel under control now.![]()

Bashar is incredibly competent, knowledgeable and honest. He is not a bookkeeper that likes to meddle in grey areas. He has worked for the CRA and does everything he can to protect and inform his clients. He provides an incredible amount of value compared to the amount that he charges, and it’s truly been a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend Bashar if anyone is looking for bookkeeping services in Ottawa.![]()
