SMALL BUSINESS TAX ADVISORY SERVICES

First, We See What the Cash Has Already Promised

Cash-Flow Forecasting and Annual Budgets

A 12-month cash-flow forecast shows when money may enter and leave the company. We pair it with an annual budget for payroll, taxes, debt, equipment, slower months, and unexpected costs. When useful, it can also include a projected balance sheet and cash-flow statement.

Once Cash Is Clear, the Goal Can Become a Plan

Goal Planning and Growth Strategy

A goal becomes easier to test once it has dates and numbers. We can map 10- to 20-year goals into 5- to 10-year milestones, a one-year plan, and quarterly steps. Each review then compares actual results with the hire, sales target, price change, or purchase in the plan.

A Plan Needs Signs That It Is Working

Business Metrics, Benchmarks and Growth Analysis

We choose the metrics and benchmarks that will show whether the plan is working. Pricing, break-even, and investment analysis can help test an opportunity before more money goes into it. For a growth plan, we look at what is actually improving revenue, profit, or market share.

Your Reports Should Show What Is Changing

Financial Reports and Business Analysis

Monthly reports should answer the question you are asking. We can build dashboards around budget versus actual results, profitability, break-even points, cash flow, trends, and unpaid invoices. This shows whether more revenue is becoming more profit and where the margin is changing.

Some Decisions Need a More Formal Financial Picture

Financial Statements and Reporting Standards

A lender, investor, or buyer may need more than a dashboard. The financial picture may include a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, cash-flow statement, aged receivables and payables, and key ratios. We can also help with the reporting standards required for financing, investment, or a major transaction.

The Right Level of Help Depends on What Comes Next

Bookkeeper, Advisor, Controller and CFO Support

Not every business needs a CFO. A bookkeeper may be enough to keep the records current. An advisor can maintain reports, forecasts, cash monitoring, and software integrations, while a controller can oversee bills, payroll, collections, and the wider accounting function. CFO-level support uses that full picture to guide longer-term decisions.

Before the Move Is Made, Tax Belongs in the Room

Tax Planning Before Major Business Decisions

A tax question is easier to work through before the paperwork is signed. Our CPA tax advisors review corporate tax, GST, PST, instalments, and other indirect tax obligations connected to a hire, purchase, investment, or change in owner pay. We also look for avoidable penalties and explain the tax effect in plain language. If tax preparation, CRA support, or a wealth advisor is needed, we bring that support into the plan early.

If Outside Money Is Needed, the Numbers Must Tell the Same Story

Financing and Growth Capital

A lender or investor will compare the plan with the financials behind it. We can help prepare forecasts, business plans, investor decks, loan applications, and the reporting they may expect. We can also help identify grants in Alberta and across Canada, then show what information is needed to pursue the right source of growth capital.

If Ownership Changes, the Number Needs Context

Business Valuation and Restructuring

Buying, selling, adding a shareholder, or planning an exit all begin with current financials. We support the financial work behind a valuation and first confirm why the number is needed. If restructuring belongs in the plan, we map the financial and tax side and connect the legal or specialist advice it requires.

Better Reports Start With Better Financial Processes

Business Audit and Process Review

Advice is only as reliable as the information behind it. Our Business Audit & Plan reviews how invoices, timesheets, receipts, apps, approvals, and reports move through the business. It is a review of the working process, not an audit of the financial statements.

That Review Often Finds Work That Should Connect Better

Systems, Automation and Process Improvement

An invoice may begin in one app, wait for approval in another place, and reach the report weeks later. We review invoicing, collections, timesheets, quoting, pricing tools, document storage, and the path into your dashboard. TNA can help evaluate software, set up integrations and automation, write clear process policies, and turn the findings into a practical plan for the next changes.

The Plan Should Also Cover What Could Interrupt It

Internal Controls and Risk Planning

Most plans assume the business will keep running as expected. We also review internal controls, business interruption plans, disaster recovery, and business continuity. Asset protection, cybersecurity, tax-efficient insurance, or corporate structures may need a specialist. We identify that need and keep it connected to the wider financial and tax plan.

A Forecast Should Not Disappear Into a Folder

Ongoing Health-Check Meetings

Regular health-check meetings compare monthly results with your goals and bring payroll, tax instalments, cash, profit, growth, and risk back into view. They can also cover receipt or mileage reminders, app training, troubleshooting, and the questions that came up during the month. The plan changes when the business does.
