Payroll that treats trust money like trust money.
The pay run is the easy half. The half that hurts businesses is the remittance calendar — source deductions the CRA treats as its own money from the moment you withhold them. We run both halves, connected to your books.
What’s included
Priced per employee inside your fixed monthly fee — the runs, the remittances, and the year-end.
Runs processed on your rhythm
Weekly or biweekly, salaried and hourly, with the withholdings — tax, CPP, EI — calculated correctly for every pay.
Remittances tracked to the due date
Source deductions scheduled against the CRA's actual calendar for your remitter class and tracked to each due date — because trust money is the one deadline never to float.
T4s and T4As at year-end
Slips prepared, filed by the last day of February, and reconciled to what was actually remitted during the year — the mismatch the CRA checks first.
Records of employment when they're needed
Departures handled properly: ROEs issued on time so your former employee's EI isn't stuck on your paperwork.
Ontario obligations watched
EHT and WSIB where they apply to you — registered, calculated and filed on their own calendars, not discovered in an audit letter.
Payroll that posts itself to the books
Every run lands in the ledger automatically — wages, liabilities, remittances — because payroll here is part of the books, not a separate app that exports a PDF.
Why payroll belongs inside the books
Run payroll in a standalone app and someone still has to move the numbers into the books, reconcile the liability accounts, and check that what was remitted matches what was withheld. That someone is usually nobody — until February, when the T4s don’t tie. Here payroll posts straight into the same ledger your bookkeeping lives in, so wages, liabilities and remittances reconcile monthly by construction. The CRA’s remittance rules themselves are in our payroll remittance reference.
How it starts
A 20-minute conversation
Free, and genuinely 20 minutes: your volume, your entities, the state of the books. If we are not the right fit, we say so and point you somewhere.
A fixed fee, in writing
One number for the year, agreed before any work starts. Software, setup and onboarding are part of it — there is no second bill from anyone else.
We take it from there
Our team builds your books on our platform, catches up whatever is behind, and runs the monthly close. You watch it happen in the same system we work in.
Asked about payroll
When are payroll remittances due?
For most employers — 'regular remitters' — source deductions are due by the 15th of the month after the pay. Larger payrolls remit faster on the CRA's accelerated schedules; some small employers qualify for quarterly. Your remitter class is set by the CRA and it tells you in writing.
What happens if a remittance is late?
Penalties start immediately and scale with lateness — and unremitted source deductions are trust money, which the CRA pursues harder than any other balance, up to director liability. It is the one payment we treat as immovable, which is why remittance dates live in the filing calendar with the runs themselves.
We're hiring our first employee. What needs to exist?
A payroll program account with the CRA before the first pay, correct TD1 forms, a compliant pay calculation, and a remittance calendar. WSIB registration often applies from the first hire, and EHT once Ontario payroll passes the exemption. We set all of it up as part of onboarding — it is far cheaper to start right than to repair.
Owner-manager: should I pay myself salary or dividends?
It depends on CPP, RRSP room, income level and what the corporation retains — a genuine planning question that crosses your T1 and T2. Because we prepare both, the answer is modelled on your numbers rather than folklore, and payroll is set up to match it.
