Session 1 9:00 – 10:30 Accounting

Joe Collins, CPA, CA & Paul Sharpe, CPA, CA

Accounting and bookkeeping can be daunting. You never know if you are missing a filing or have a large bill coming from the CRA! This session demystifies the field and will give you insights on how to approach doing your own bookkeeping or hiring someone else to do it for you.

Topics include:

• How to set-up a bookkeeping system (invoicing clients, tracking expenses, etc.)
• What to consider when hiring someone to do your bookkeeping or accounting
• What expenses can you deduct in your practice (mileage, home office, bad debts, etc.)?
• What expenses are commonly missed when filing business taxes
• Should you file your own taxes?
• Do you need to charge GST?
• Should you incorporate your business?

Participants can also receive a package of articles that cover off the above questions along with a step-by-step on how to file their tax return easily for free.
