Tax Returns · Personal & Corporate

Smarter accounting. Smaller tax bills.

Personal (T1), corporate (T2), and multi-year filings — done right and filed on time. We identify legitimate deductions and credits that reduce your tax bill, every year.

Accounting & Financial Analysis

Clean books today. Better decisions tomorrow.

Bookkeeping that's accurate is the floor — not the ceiling. We deliver financial statements and analysis you actually need to run your business and find inefficiencies before they cost you.

Opening a Business · Incorporation

From idea to incorporated, with the structure right.

Starting a business is exciting — and full of decisions you don't want to get wrong. We handle registration, recommend the right structure, and set up your books clean from day one.

Payroll · CPP · EI · ROE

Run payroll without the headache.

Payroll done wrong creates compounding problems. We take the whole thing off your plate — every cycle, every deduction, every slip — handled correctly the first time.

CRA Matters · Audit Support

We talk to CRA so you don't have to.

From WSIB filings and HST reconciliations to a full-blown CRA audit, we represent your interests directly with the agencies. We respond, prepare, and shepherd reviews to clean closure.

Get to know us

A personal approach to your numbers.

Optimal Accounting & Tax Solutions is built on three principles that shape every engagement — focus, team, and values. Here's what each one means in practice.

— 01 · Focus

Built for small business and individuals

We specialize in small businesses, self-employed professionals, and individual tax returns. We emphasize automated bookkeeping, planning, forecasting, and goal-setting — keeping you financially on track and helping you grow your business, your profits, and your personal wealth.

— 02 · Team

Pro-active accountants, not order-takers

Our team brings professional, experienced accountants who provide value-added consulting that distinguishes us from other firms. We work as an integral part of your team to achieve your goals — not just file a return once a year and disappear.

— 03 · Values

Professional. Confidential. Efficient.

We listen first, then recommend. Your files are kept in a secure, confidential environment, and we treat your time as carefully as your money — fast, efficient, and never hidden behind layers of process.

Affordable Services

Everything you need from an accountant. Nothing you don't.

Five core service areas covering the full lifecycle of a small business — from incorporation to year-end, payroll to CRA representation. Pick what you need, leave the rest.

Trusted by Toronto's small business owners.

★★★★★

Switched to Optimal three years ago and never looked back. They actually pick up the phone, return calls the same day, and saved us thousands in our first year alone.

Mark Henderson Owner, Henderson Trades
★★★★★

As a self-employed consultant my taxes used to be a yearly nightmare. Now they're handled. The team is responsive, professional, and explains things in plain English.

Aisha Rahman Independent Consultant
★★★★★

They handled our incorporation, set up our payroll, and walked us through every step. We're a year in and everything has run smoothly. Highly recommended.

David & Lisa Park Park Family Restaurant
★★★★★

CRA sent us a scary-looking review letter. Optimal handled it end-to-end and we never had to speak to anyone at the agency. Cleared in three weeks. Worth every dollar.

FAQ

Quick answers to common questions.

It depends on scope. Personal tax returns typically start around $150, monthly bookkeeping packages from $250, and corporate year-ends from $1,200. We always provide a flat-fee quote in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

No. Most of our clients work with us remotely through secure cloud-based tools, video meetings, and digital document workflows. Our office in Etobicoke is open if you prefer in-person — just book through our online appointment system.

Generally when you're earning more than you need to live on, when you want liability protection, or when your industry expects it. We'll model the tax impact of incorporating versus staying as a sole proprietor and walk you through the decision in plain English — no rush, no pressure.

Yes — full CRA audit support is a core service. We respond to inquiries on your behalf, prepare requested documentation, and represent your interests through any review or appeal. Most reviews close cleanly when handled professionally from the start.
