Corporate Tax & Compliance
Accurate corporate tax filing and CRA compliance — with practical, day-to-day tax planning built in. A one-stop finance home if you want it, or seamless support alongside the tax advisor you already have.
CPA-led compliance · Practical planning · Works with your existing advisor
Compliance done right — with planning where it helps
Every incorporated business has to file. Pulse CPA handles your corporate tax compliance accurately and on time — the T2 return, instalments, slips and CRA correspondence — as part of a clean, year-round finance function rather than a once-a-year scramble.
We also bring practical tax planning into the everyday work: how owners are paid, using the small business deduction sensibly, and the timing of major decisions. For specialized or complex tax strategy, we coordinate with tax specialists so you always get the right depth of advice without overreaching.
However you came to us, we fit. We can be a one-stop finance home if you'd rather have everything in one place — or focused accounting and compliance support that works seamlessly alongside the tax advisor who referred you or whom you already trust.
This is for you if…
- Your corporate return is a last-minute scramble every year
- You're not sure your remuneration (salary vs. dividends) is set up sensibly

- You want your accounting and tax to actually talk to each other
- You'd like one firm for the day-to-day, with specialists looped in only when needed
- You were referred to us for accounting and want your tax advisor kept in the lead

How it works
Review
We look at your structure, how you're paid and your filing history, confirm what's needed, and agree scope and a fixed fee.
Set up the basics
We get remuneration, instalments and HST/GST onto a sensible footing and a clear compliance calendar.
Keep it current
Compliance runs inside the same monthly system as your books, so nothing is left to a year-end rush.
Coordinate where needed
For specialized strategy, we bring in or work with tax specialists — and keep your existing advisor in the loop where you have one.
File & reconcile
Your return is prepared from a clean, reconciled year-end file — by us, or handed to your advisor ready to file.
Two ways we fit
Whether you want one firm for everything or support alongside your current advisor, the day-to-day stays clean.
| One firm for everything | Support alongside your advisor | |
|---|---|---|
| Day-to-day books & compliance | Pulse handles it | Pulse handles it |
| Corporate tax filing (T2) | Pulse | Pulse or your advisor — your call |
| Specialized tax strategy | Coordinated with specialists | Your tax advisor leads |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do tax, or just accounting?
Both — corporate tax compliance (T2, HST/GST, slips and CRA correspondence) plus practical day-to-day planning like remuneration and instalments. For specialized strategy we coordinate with tax specialists so you get the right depth.
We were referred to you for accounting — will you step on our tax advisor's toes?
No. We're glad to handle the books and compliance and keep your tax advisor in the lead, preparing a clean, tax-ready year-end file for them. Many of our engagements work exactly that way — we complement other firms, we don't try to replace them.
Can you be our one firm for everything?
Yes, if you'd prefer the simplicity of a single finance home. We handle the day-to-day and loop in specialists for anything complex or one-off.
Salary or dividends — which should I take?
We help set sensible remuneration within the rules and model it to your situation rather than apply a rule of thumb.
Do you handle HST/GST?
Yes — returns, reconciliations and registration guidance, tracked on a compliance calendar so nothing slips.
What about complex tax planning — reorganizations, estate, or a sale?
For specialized work we bring in or coordinate with tax specialists so you get the right expertise. We focus on doing the compliance and everyday planning well, not on overreaching into highly specialized areas.
