Plumbers in London, books handled
London, Ontario supports a broad base of professional practices, trades, and health businesses that benefit from current books and included year-end tax.
For plumbers specifically, taxifi covers the work below as part of one flat monthly price, with Ontario’s HST, WSIB, and Employer Health Tax handled inside the service:
- Bookkeeping that separates service revenue from project work
- Payroll for journeymen and apprentices, remitted to CRA on time
- HST returns filed on your schedule
- Vehicles and equipment tracked for capital cost allowance
What we take off a London plumbing contractor’s plate
Service calls and project work, mixed together
Emergency calls and multi-day projects hit the books differently. We separate service revenue from project work so you can see what each actually earns.
HST on every parts run
The HST you pay on parts and fixtures is an input tax credit. We capture it on every purchase so nothing you're owed slips through.
Apprentice and journeyman payroll
Payroll runs on time with source deductions remitted to CRA, T4s ready at year-end, and records kept WSIB-ready.
Why London plumbers choose taxifi
London runs on anchors — healthcare, the university, insurance — and serves as the commercial hub for much of southwestern Ontario. It is a steady market rather than a speculative one, where businesses build on repeat customers and reputation, and where a surprise tax bill hurts precisely because everything else was predictable.
Layer onto that what plumbers deal with everywhere — parts, emergency call-outs, and crew payroll moving faster than the paperwork behind them — and the case for taxifi is simple: books kept current daily by AI, filings reviewed and signed by a Canadian accountant, and you can see which kinds of work actually pay before you book more of it.
Common questions
Should I track parts separately from labour in my books?
It is worth it — parts carry costs and often markup, labour carries payroll, and mixing them hides which jobs made money. Books that split materials from labour job by job show your real margin per call, which is the number that should set your pricing. That level of detail is only realistic when the bookkeeping happens daily instead of in a year-end batch.
How should deposits and emergency call-out fees be handled?
Consistently — that is the part most owners miss. Deposits, call-out minimums, and after-hours premiums each need a consistent treatment for both revenue and HST so the books say the same thing every month and filing season holds no surprises. Your accountant sets the treatment once; the daily bookkeeping applies it every time.
Is taxifi actually available in London, or just the biggest cities?
Fully available — taxifi is online-first, so a London clinic or contractor gets exactly the same daily bookkeeping, payroll, HST, and T2 service as a Toronto one, at the same kind of flat monthly price. No office visit exists to miss.
I already have a bookkeeper or accountant in London. 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.
