REASONABLE RATES

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2005 - IMPORTANT NEWS

Please note that effective July 1, 2005 my hourly rates have increased to $48.00 per hour (from $45.00 per hour) and will remain in effect until June 30, 2006.

Please also note that effective July 1, 2004 accounting services in Manitoba, Canada are mostly taxable and subject to Manitoba Provincial Retail Sales Tax of 7% (P.S.T.), which will be added to all my billings. This is an expense for you and you will not be able to recover it like G.S.T.

FEE SCHEDULE AND DEFINITIONS



TRAINING FEE RATE

I will assess, and examine your current systems of control, accounting and organization and suggest ways to improve them. We will work together with these systems for a satisfactory introductory period to be sure systems are in place. Usually, you work while I watch you do it.
  • $48.00 per hour plus 7% G.S.T. and 7% P.S.T. (CDN$)

    CONSULTING FEE RATE

    I will consult, answer or obtain answers to the information you are looking for, and suggest ways to satisfy or be compliant. You will do the work. You may or may not take my advice and seek alternate solutions.
  • $48.00 per hour plus 7% G.S.T. and 7% P.S.T.(CDN$)

    WORKING FEE RATE

    You will give me all the necessary raw information and records, and I will provide the service agreed upon at my location, and provide you with the finished product only. The fee may be agreed upon (IN ADVANCE) for the service to be provided. Otherwise, the hourly rates apply, including meetings and discussions.
  • $48.00 per hour plus 7% G.S.T. and 7% P.S.T. (CDN$)

    PERSONAL INCOME TAX RETURNS

    I will prepare your personal income tax return(s) from information that you provide to me. I will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit, althought I may ask you for clarification of some of the information. You will inform me if you own or hold foreign property at any time during the year with a cost exceeding $100,000 CAN. Fees are based on time spent plus out-of-pocket expenses (ADMIN Charge) to cover certain related costs.
  • $48.00 per hour, plus ADMIN charge, plus 7% G.S.T. and 7% P.S.T.(CDN$)

    CORPORATION INCOME TAX RETURNS

    I will prepare and publish financial statements, and file necessary compliance reports such as the T2 Corporation Income Tax Return and related schedules, and provide any or all services normally assumed or agreed upon either requested or expected and required. An engagement letter will be signed by you, outlining my services, and be in effect from year to year unless changed by either of us. The fee may be agreed upon (IN ADVANCE) for the services provided, but generally fees are based on time spent plus out-of-pocket expenses (ADMIN Charge) to cover certain related costs.
  • $48.00 per hour, plus ADMIN charge, plus 7% G.S.T. and 7% P.S.T.(CDN$)

    WHAT IS AN ADMIN CHARGE?

    Admin charges are added to my time to cover certain related costs, such as printer, supplies, software, etc. This applies to all compliance reporting returns that I prepare. My time stops when I begin printing, and the ADMIN charge covers the time for my assembly and meeting with you for signing, etc. Charges added to my billing are as follows:

  • T1 Charge - $25.00
  • T1 Efiling Charge - $5.00
  • T2 Charge - $50.00
  • T4/T4a/T5 Charges - $25.00
  • Amended Returns & T1-Adjustments - $Nil
  • G.S.T. / P.S.T. / E.P.D. filings - $Nil
  • Correspondence - $Nil

    PLEASE NOTE:

    I consider my rates reasonable. I am a fast typist and I know what I'm doing. I am also an excellent Multi-Tasker. I am set in my ways of doing things the most simplest and fastest way possible, if I can, and with the programs I am most familiar with. My standard rates while working in a Chartered Accountant's firm ranged between $75.00 to $100.00 per hour (CDN$) and that was in the 1990's. I recognize your right to negotiate. If there are overages or unexpected delays, I will let you know. Generally, fees are based on time spent, and due when invoiced. I reserve the right to suggest improvements in your procedures or accounting in order to reduce my time I spend on your file. The more organized and complete your accounting material is, the less time is required to complete the job. Jobs brought in late or near filing deadlines will generally cost more than a job brought in early. It's a fact.
