RHN CPA

Happy Labour Day from the RHN CPA team.

Today is a reminder to recognize the work people put in every day, in businesses, communities, and households across BC.

Please note our offices will be closed Monday, September 7, and will reopen Tuesday, September 8.

Thinking about buying a home in BC?

The listing price is only one part of the picture. Lenders also look at income, debt, down payment, qualifying rates, property taxes, strata fees, and other costs that can affect what you can realistically afford.

Our recent blog breaks down what lenders look at, how the mortgage stress test works, and where BC buyers can get surprised by the real cost of qualifying.

Fall has a way of getting busy fast.

Back-to-school schedules, busier operations, staffing needs, pricing decisions, payroll, and tax planning can all pile up quickly.

When your numbers are current, it’s easier to make decisions before everything feels urgent.

At RHN, we help business owners understand what needs attention now so they can head into fall with more clarity.

August is a good time to clean up the things that got pushed aside over the summer.

Receipts, invoices, payroll questions, old transactions, and accounts that haven’t been reviewed can turn into a bigger mess if they sit too long.

Getting your books cleaned up now makes it easier to head into fall with a clearer picture of where your business stands.

At RHN, we help business owners stay organized so bookkeeping does not become a year-end scramble.

Is your business behind on filing?

Waiting usually makes the problem more expensive, especially if there is tax owing.

If you missed a filing deadline, the next step is to get the return filed, pay what you can, and understand what penalties or interest may apply.

Our blog explains what happens when individuals or corporations file late, and what to do next.

Hiring someone as a contractor does not automatically make them one.

CRA looks at how the working relationship actually functions, including who controls the work, who provides tools, whether there is a chance of profit or risk of loss, and how connected the worker is to the business.

Getting it wrong can create issues with CPP, EI, payroll deductions, and remittances.

RHN breaks down what business owners need to know in our latest blog.

Are you paying yourself properly?

A lot of business owners pull money from the company when they need it, but don’t always know how that affects tax, cash flow, or year-end planning.

Salary, dividends, shareholder draws, how your businesses money moves matters.

At RHN, we help business owners understand their options and make sure compensation is handled properly.

Reach out to RHN today if you’re not sure whether your current setup still makes sense.
