Small Business Accountant in Alberta
Full-service accounting for owner-managed businesses across Alberta — bookkeeping, GST, payroll, statements and tax from BOMCAS Canada.
Your Small Business Accountant in Alberta
BOMCAS Canada is the small business accountant of choice for owner-managed companies, sole proprietors and partnerships across Alberta. We handle the full financial picture — bookkeeping, GST filing, payroll, financial statements and tax returns — so you can spend your time running the business instead of wrestling with the books. From Sherwood Park and Sherwood Park to towns across the province, we give small businesses big-firm expertise with personal, responsive service.
Small businesses face a particular challenge: the same compliance obligations as large companies, but without an in-house finance department. Miss a GST filing, fall behind on payroll remittances, or lose track of deductible expenses, and the cost shows up quickly in penalties and overpaid tax. A dedicated small business accountant takes that weight off your shoulders, keeps you compliant, and turns your numbers into decisions you can act on.
The Alberta small business landscape
Alberta is one of the best places in Canada to run a small business. There is no provincial sales tax — only the 5 percent federal GST — and incorporated small businesses enjoy the lowest combined corporate tax rate in the country at roughly 11 percent on the first $500,000 of qualifying active income. GST registration becomes mandatory once your taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive quarters, though many businesses register earlier to recover input tax credits on start-up costs. Whether you should incorporate, when to register for GST, and how to pay yourself are decisions that benefit enormously from professional input, and they are exactly the conversations we have with small business owners every week. Our GST calculator and self-employed tax calculator are useful starting points.
Everything a small business needs, under one roof
- Bookkeeping and cloud accounting — accurate, up-to-date books in QuickBooks Online or Xero through our cloud accounting service.
- GST returns — registration, filing and input-tax-credit tracking; see GST/HST filing.
- Payroll — pay runs, source deductions, T4s and ROEs via payroll & source deductions.
- Financial statements — compilations and reporting that lenders and investors trust, from our financial reporting team.
- Tax returns — sole-proprietor T1 filings and incorporated T2 corporate returns.
- Incorporation and advisory — should-you-incorporate analysis, setup and ongoing business advisory.
Should you incorporate? We will help you decide
One of the most common questions small business owners ask is whether to incorporate. Incorporation can offer limited liability, access to the low small-business tax rate, and the ability to defer tax by leaving profits in the company — but it also brings extra filings, costs and complexity, and it only pays off once your business is earning more than you need to draw personally. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. We run the numbers for your specific situation, weigh the tax deferral against the added compliance, and give you a clear recommendation. If incorporating makes sense, our incorporation and corporate services team handles the setup; if it does not yet, we keep your sole proprietorship efficient and revisit the question as you grow.
