We handle the full payroll cycle: wages, source deductions, CRA remittances, T4 slips, Records of Employment and ongoing compliance.
Payroll errors trigger penalties quickly. We make sure your team is paid correctly and your remittances are never late.

Our process
We set up or review your CRA payroll program account and remitter type.
We collect TD1 forms and employee details and configure pay schedules.
We process each pay run and remit source deductions on time.
We prepare and file T4 and T4A slips and summaries by the deadline.
FAQ
T4 and T4A slips and summaries are due on the last day of February following the calendar year.
