What we take off a Ottawa general contractor’s plate
Holdbacks and progress draws
Construction holdbacks distort what you think you've earned. We track them so your revenue and receivables reflect what you're actually owed and when.
T5018 subcontractor reporting
Every sub payment is tracked through the year and the T5018 slips are prepared and filed on time, with records behind each number.
HST across materials and equipment
Input tax credits on materials, rentals, and equipment are captured on every transaction so your net HST is accurate.
