The people behind your books
We’re accountants, bookkeepers, and payroll specialists — and we’re organized around your deadlines and your industry, not an org chart. Every Y&A client gets a named bookkeeper, a senior reviewer, and a partner who signs off. That’s been the setup for 25+ years and 1,000+ Ontario small businesses. It works because someone always knows your file.

Who does what
Six groups, one shared file. You’ll work with several of these people over the course of a year.
Partners & senior accountants
Your main contact. They sign off on every filing and stay on your file year-round — not just at tax time.
Your named bookkeeper
One person who knows your transactions, your vendors, and your quirks. They handle categorization, reconciliation, and month-end close.
Corporate & personal tax
T2 corporate returns, T1 personal returns, and the planning in between. They know which claims CRA looks at twice.
HST filing team
Monthly, quarterly, or annual HST returns. Input tax credits. Cross-border GST/HST for trucking and e-commerce clients.
Payroll & CRA liaison
Pay runs, T4s, ROEs, and remittances. And when CRA sends a notice or starts a review, they pick up the phone so you don't have to.
Admin & intake
The first voice you hear when you call. They keep documents, deadlines, and file handoffs moving so the technical work actually happens on time.
How your file actually moves through the team
Every file has an owner. You get a named bookkeeper and a senior reviewer. Your bookkeeper handles categorization, reconciliation, and month-end close from the documents you send. The reviewer checks everything before it leaves the firm.
And here’s the part most firms skip: we review last year’s return before we touch this year’s. That catches the mistakes other firms copy forward year after year.
Bookkeeping hands off to tax. When year-end arrives, your bookkeeper doesn’t just close the books and vanish. They brief the corporate tax or personal tax specialist on anything unusual — a new vehicle, a shareholder loan, an odd reclassification.
The tax specialist prepares the T2 or T1, flags planning opportunities, and books a review call before filing. Nothing gets e-filed without a second set of eyes.
HST, payroll, and CRA work run in parallel. While the annual cycle moves, our HST team files your returns on whatever schedule you’re on — monthly, quarterly, or annual. Our payroll team runs pay cycles, remittances, T4s, and ROEs.
When CRA sends a notice or starts a review, we respond on your behalf through the Represent a Client program. So you don’t have to deal with CRA directly.
What one client teaches us helps the next. The team meets regularly to share what we’re seeing across files — new CRA guidance, deductions we’ve had approved or denied, recurring issues by industry. That’s how a trucking client in Brampton benefits from something we caught on a restaurant file in Mississauga. Our depth in 28 industries isn’t one person’s knowledge. It’s the team’s.
Credentials that matter
25+ years in Ontario
Tax, bookkeeping, and payroll work across 28 industries in Ontario since 1998. We know the rules because we’ve been doing this every day for a quarter century.
CRA Represent a Client
We talk to CRA so you don’t have to. The Represent a Client program lets us correspond with the Canada Revenue Agency directly on your behalf.
Current on the rules
Tax law changes every year. We stay trained on the latest Canadian tax, payroll, and bookkeeping standards — so your file gets this year’s rules, not last year’s.
Want to know how we’re different?
The team structure is one thing. But the real difference is what we check, what we won’t claim, and where we spend extra time on your file.
