CRA EFILE authorized · Every filing signed by an accountant · Switching is free — about an hour of your time
What a small business accountant should actually do
Most owner-managed corporations do not need complicated accounting. They need four things done properly and on time: books that reflect reality, payroll that reaches CRA on schedule, filings that are not late, and someone who answers when a question comes up. The trouble is that the traditional model delivers those in batches — books reconciled quarterly, advice priced by the hour, the corporate return assembled months after the year it describes.
By the time the numbers arrive, the decisions they should have informed have already been made.
All four, at published prices
taxifi covers bookkeeping, payroll, tax, and business advisory as a single service rather than four separate engagements. AI does the daily work — categorizing and reconciling transactions as they land — and a Canadian accountant reviews, advises, signs, and files.
Bundle tax with your bookkeeping and your year-end corporate tax return is spread across the monthly price. There is no separate invoice in the spring for the T2, which is where flat-fee arrangements usually turn out not to be flat.
What sets the price
Four things: how many transactions run through the business in a typical month, how many bank accounts and payment processors we connect and balance, how complex the business is (multiple currencies, subcontractor reporting, revenue recognized over time), and how many people you pay. We ask about each on a discovery call and quote one number, live, before you hang up. Our pricing page walks through each factor.
Switching accountants
You do not have to wait for year-end. Switching takes about an hour of your time — we request your file and history from your current accountant and pick it up from there — and the first month is guaranteed. Our guide on switching accountants in Ontario covers what to ask for before you go.

“So grateful I don’t have to bang my head against the wall navigating other bookkeeping systems, trying to create my own, hunting for a report and then trying to figure out what it actually means. Taxifi speaks in language I understand, and because of that I have a much better handle on, and feel more in control of, my finances. The Taxifi team is amazing and responsive, and the system itself is so user-friendly. I genuinely feel like they’re invested in my success. Highly recommend!”

Common questions
What does a small business accountant actually do?
For an owner-managed corporation it comes down to four things: keeping the books accurate, running payroll and remitting source deductions, filing HST and the year-end corporate tax return (T2), and answering the questions that come up in between. taxifi does all four at published prices.
How much does a small business accountant cost in Canada?
It depends on four things: how many transactions run through the business each month, how many bank and card accounts we connect, how complex the business is, and how many people you pay. Prices are published: bookkeeping from $199 a month, accountant-reviewed from $299 (scaling with monthly expenses), and the year-end T2 from $1,000 a year; bundle them and the T2 is spread across your monthly price with the bundle discount, so there is no separate spring bill.
Do I need to be incorporated?
taxifi is built for incorporated, HST-registered Canadian businesses, usually with employees or subcontractors on payroll. If you are still a sole proprietor, our guide on incorporating in Ontario covers when the switch makes sense.
Can I switch from my current accountant partway through the year?
Yes. Switching is free and takes about an hour of your time: we request your file and history from your current accountant and take it from there. Your first month is guaranteed.
