What we take off a Ottawa HVAC contractor’s plate
Maintenance-contract revenue
Prepaid service plans shouldn't all land as income up front. We recognize them over the contract so your revenue and taxes aren't overstated.
Parts and equipment inventory
Inventory and financed equipment are tracked cleanly, so your margins and your capital cost allowance are both right.
Warranty and callback work
Callbacks and warranty jobs are tracked against the original work so you can see true job profitability.
Why Ottawa HVAC contractors choose taxifi
taxifi was built in Ottawa, and the home market is a distinctive one: an economy anchored by the federal government and everyone who serves it, a bilingual client base, and steady suburban build-out from Kanata to Barrhaven to Orléans. Demand here is stable rather than boom-and-bust — which makes messy books an unforced error.
HVAC contractors here carry the same load as anywhere: revenue that swings hard between heating and cooling seasons, which turns cash and tax planning into guesswork. What changes with taxifi is that the books are current every single day and an accountant signs everything — which means the busy season funds the slow one on purpose instead of by luck.
Common questions
My revenue swings hard between seasons. How do I avoid a surprise tax bill?
By planning from live numbers instead of last year's memory. Books that are current through the busy months show what the year is really shaping into, so tax instalments and HST set-asides get sized to reality — and the slow season arrives funded. Most HVAC tax surprises are really bookkeeping lag wearing a disguise.
How do maintenance contracts get handled in my books?
A maintenance plan billed up front is cash now for work delivered over months, and the books should reflect the work as it is earned — which affects both how healthy your months look and how income lands for tax. The right setup depends on your contracts' terms; taxifi's accountant sets the treatment and the daily bookkeeping follows it.
Does taxifi work with Ottawa businesses that serve the federal government?
Yes — a lot of Ottawa work traces back to government directly or through prime contractors, and that world runs on paperwork: proper invoices, clean records, and books that stand up when a prime or an auditor asks questions. Books that are current every day make that side of Ottawa business life routine instead of a scramble.
I already have a bookkeeper or accountant in Ottawa. How hard is switching?
The switch is free: we deal with your current provider directly, collect your file and history, and take over the monthly work. Any catch-up is scoped and priced before you commit. Your part is about an hour, and mid-year is fine.
