Rouge Valley Accounting

Personal tax deadline is next week.
Send in your docs if you haven’t yet!

Thanks to everyone who has already submitted. We appreciate you.

We can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. 😁😁😁

Two months ago, I said to Brian, “I like the beard.” And I did..

But then it continued to grow (too much). Now it has evolved into…. The Tax Beard.

At this point, it’s not going anywhere and will remain until after the personal tax deadline.

Apologies to anyone who has had to witness its full evolution.

These bearded drawings are what our girls think Brian looks like these days!

If you see this bearded man, please approach with caution and clippers!

Between the unfinished wall and the gate separating our house from the neighbours’, we feel like we’re on lockdown. 😬😬

Taxes. Taxes. Taxes.

But seriously though, if you’re a personal tax client of ours, send us your documents. April 30th will be here before you know it!

It’s THAT time of year.

We’re officially in tax-season hibernation mode.

Vacations on hold.
Coffee: strong.
Nights: late.
Phones: ringing.
Paperwork: coming in hot.

Haven’t sent your documents in yet? Consider this your friendly nudge.

Our tax checklist and forms are under Client Resources on our website, or you can send us an email and we will help you figure out what you need.

We ARE ready to go; fuelled by coffee (water for Brian), organized with spreadsheets, and looking ahead with sheer determination!!!

It’s January, and we’ve updated our client resources to help you get set up for the year ahead.

We’ve just uploaded our 2026 CRA Authorization Step-by-Step Guide to our website, along with an updated 2026 tax calendar and reference guide on our socials.

Brian created the step-by-step guide to walk clients through exactly how to authorize Rouge Valley Accounting as their CRA representative. It shows you where to click, what to select, and what to expect along the way. No guessing. No jargon.

The guide has already been emailed to clients, but it’s now also available:
✔️ On our website
✔️ As a downloadable PDF

Providing us access makes it easier to manage your filings, and you never need to share your password!

Save the guide now and keep it handy for tax season. Reach out if you need any help. 😁

2026 is off to a great start! When you get a second, take a look at our updated reference guide packed with updated numbers and useful information.

Feel free to download the PDF and print out a copy for yourself. 😁

Important Dates to remember in 2026!

Check out our updated calendar of dates to remember.

Has anyone else been staring at their tree wondering what day it is and whether or not they should take it down now?? Maybe tomorrow? 🫠

The holidays were busy for us and now we are trying to take in the last few calm days before the chaos of 2026.

In a few days, I’ll post an updated reference doc and all the important 2026 dates to remember. ✅

We hope you had a magical holiday season and 2025. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a fantastic year.

Whistler, BC. ❤️ The Rouge Valley Accounting team just got back from a family road trip to BC and Alberta. Now it's time to get back to the grind.

BC Fun Tax Fact:

Unlike Ontario’s single HST (13%), BC makes businesses file GST (5%) + PST (7%) separately.

Double the taxes, double the paperwork.

Same country, different province, slightly different tax system.

Call us from the dock. We won’t judge. 😁🚤🩴
Actually, we appreciate the candidness and the head start.

The clients who are calling us now are buying themselves peace of mind for September.

Planning ahead in the summer gives you:
✅ Less chaos when things ramp up again
✅ Time to actually enjoy the season
✅ A clear plan for your next smart money move

Fall always sneaks up fast. Get set up now before the calendar flips and the inbox fills up.
