How can ASR save me money when I already have an accountant or bookkeeper who can incorporate me and does not charge me a sign-up and monthly fee?

As a business owner you will have to submit to Revenue Canada Agency your year end tax return. This can be an extensive cost , and you still have to worry about your personal tax return!

ASR’s services include the cost of preparing and filing both your corporate and personal tax return. An added bonus of ASR’s services is the preparation and filing of your spouses personal tax return.

There are many added benefits to ASR membership. For example, when you require financing for that new truck or home, the quarterly statements that ASR’s certified accountants have prepared will aid in your credentials as an incorporated business owner as well as having saved you time and money.

ASR’s membership fees are approximately the same cost as having an accountant prepare your corporate tax return. So basically your bookkeeping, quarterly statements, third quarter review, personal tax return, spouse’s personal tax return, the opportunity to take advantage of preferred Insurance rates, and numerous other benefits of ASR Membership are a yearly bonus to you and your business.

I can do my bookkeeping for a flat annual fee, why should I pay per month fee for a service that I can do for less?

You might think that it is less expensive to do your bookwork at the end of the year and save money.  Here are four reasons why that is not true.

1. Your accountant does not like a pile of papers given to him or her at the year end.  They are busy and will have to block out a substantial amount of time just for your work.  Guess who pays a premium for this, you the client.  Have your accounting performed on a regular quarterly basis.  This will make it easier for your accountant and save you money.
2. At the end of the year invoices and important papers can be lost and that means lost income for you.
3. The worst problem is your memory.  We all forget what we did last week never mind questions on money transfers and amounts going in and out of your accounts last year.  This can add up to lost opportunity to save on your taxes.
4. Have you’re accounting bill spread out over the entire year instead of one big over inflated bill at the end of the year is easier on your business to handle. You will have up to date information on your business which will save you money in planning for the future.

Not only will you’re accounting bill be the same or less but you will have access to information on your businesses operations that are vital for your success.
