How does your fee structure work?
Our fees are dependent on the scope of work to be completed, and the particular needs and budget of the client. You will be provided with a quote once we have reviewed your unique situation. KCPA is fully transparent on its fee structure from the outset. No surprises.
What information do you need from my end to complete my corporate year-end?
It depends on the client and whether we provide bookkeeping services to the client or not, however, we usually ask for the following:

- Loan statements disclosing interest paid on loans during the year
- Insurance policy documentation
- Any correspondence received from the Canada Revenue Agency
- A year-end bank reconciliation and bank statement
