Our Services
Accounting, Bookkeeping and Tax Services in Cornwall
Red Ribbon Accounting Inc. delivers a complete range of financial services to business owners and families across Cornwall, Ontario. Every engagement is led by a qualified accountant and supported by secure, modern tools. This page describes what we do and how we work, so that you can choose the service your business needs today.
Bookkeeping and Ledger Management
Accurate books are the foundation of every healthy business. We record your income and expenses in a clean general ledger, reconcile bank and credit card accounts each month, and keep accounts receivable and payable organised. You receive a monthly summary that shows exactly where your money is going and how your business is performing.
We match every entry to its source document so that your records hold up under any review. Whether you work on a cash basis or an accrual basis, we maintain your books to a standard that makes tax season simple. The ledger behind your business stays ready for lenders, investors and the Canada Revenue Agency at all times.
Tax Preparation and Filing
We prepare personal and corporate tax returns with care and confidence. For business owners we handle T1 personal returns, T2 corporate returns, and the working paper files that support every filing. For families we prepare clean returns that claim each deduction and credit you qualify for under current rules.
We stay current with Canadian tax legislation so that your filing reflects the latest provisions. Correspondence from the CRA is answered promptly and any adjustment notices are reviewed on your behalf. Deadlines are tracked in our office calendar and your return reaches the agency well before the due date.
Payroll Administration
Running payroll takes time and carries serious obligations. We handle payroll runs on your schedule, compute source deductions, prepare records of employment, and manage employer remittances to the CRA. Your staff are paid correctly and on time, every cycle, without you touching the payroll software.
We keep employee files organised and we prepare year end slips such as T4s and T4A-NR summaries when they apply. Payroll compliance is reviewed each quarter so that small errors never grow into penalties. If your team grows or changes, we adjust the setup without disruption to your operations.
Financial Statement Preparation
Clear financial statements tell the story of your business in numbers. We prepare balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements that lenders and partners trust. Each statement is built from your verified books and presented in a format your bank will accept without delay.
Our review procedures give the statements a professional level of assurance. When a notice to reader engagement is right for you, we produce it with the required standards in mind. The result is a dependable snapshot of your business for planning, financing and partnership discussions.
Advisory and Planning
Good accounting goes beyond record keeping. We help you plan for growth with quarterly strategy sessions, cash flow forecasts and simple budgets that guide daily decisions. We look at your numbers as a whole and point out the patterns that deserve your attention before they become problems.
When a major purchase, a new location or a succession question arrives, we model the options and lay out the tax consequences of each path. Our advisory clients make decisions with a clear view of the impact on their business and their family. Planning is the quiet work that protects your future.
Cloud Accounting Setup
Modern bookkeeping belongs in the cloud. We set up popular platforms such as QuickBooks Online and Xero, connect your bank feeds, and configure invoicing, bill payments and reporting. You gain a live view of your finances from any device, at any hour of the day.
We train your team to use the system with confidence and we keep the data reconciled behind the scenes. Documents are stored securely and shared with us through an encrypted portal. When the cloud works smoothly, your accountant works smoothly too.
