RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since we started working with KSH Accounting & Tax Services, our company has stayed fully up to date and compliant. Our bookkeeping is current, and every corporate tax return (T2), HST return, and payroll filing has been prepared and filed. In 2020, KSH Accounting & Tax Services also guided us through our Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) application, preparing and submitting the required expense documents during a critical period for the business. 

Having accurate, on-time filings year after year has kept us in good standing with the CRA and given us reliable financial records for our banking and business decisions.

Moreover, our financial processes are much better organized. Our bookkeeping is kept up to date instead of being done at year-end, our payroll and remittances are processed properly and on schedule, and all of our tax and HST filings go in on time. We have a clear picture of our financial position throughout the year, and having one firm handle everything — bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes — has freed up our time to focus on running the business and serving our customers instead of paperwork.

Outsourcing our accounting to KSH Accounting & Tax Services saves us an estimated 15–20 hours per month that we used to spend on bookkeeping, payroll, and paperwork — time we now spend on jobs and customers. 

Filing errors and missed deadlines have been eliminated since we started working together: our HST, payroll remittances, and corporate filings have gone in on time every period. Our cash flow is also easier to manage because our books are always current, and we know exactly what we owe and what is owed to us before making decisions.

How did KSH Accounting & Tax Services perform from a project management standpoint?

KSH Accounting & Tax Services' project management was very professional and well organized. They planned the work around our filing deadlines, let us know in advance what documents they needed from us, and kept us informed throughout. We communicated via email and a messaging app.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were impressed by how personally KSH Accounting & Tax Services knew our business. They didn't just process our numbers at year-end — they answered our questions quickly, explained things in plain language, and flagged anything that needed our attention before it became a problem. 

Having one person who handled our bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes and who we could actually reach when we needed them was what made KSH Accounting & Tax Services different from other accounting firms we had worked with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, we were very happy with the work. If anything, during the busiest times of the year — tax season especially — a scheduled monthly check-in would help us plan a little better on our side instead of most communication happening around deadlines. However, that was a small thing, and it never affected the quality or timeliness of the work itself.
