For most business owners, maintaining financial records and preparing accounts and taxes is one of the top priorities. However, with no grounding in accounting and bookkeeping, many of them find it difficult to efficiently manage their accounts. This prompts them to overlook the little things and commit mistakes that can have a huge impact on their business. 

While building a business from scratch can be exciting and rewarding, there are several challenges and complexities involved in the process of starting a new business. Careful planning and exceptional execution are imperative to avoid these problems and ensure the growth of your business. 

People usually receive direct phone calls and emails from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) when there are issues with their tax declaration or incase the CRA finds discrepancies in their income and tax statements. This tends to entail punitive action, which often causes fear and stress.

Balancing the books and taking care of the accounting needs of a business is not everyone’s cup of tea. Moreover, with the ever-changing guidelines and regulations, it can be difficult for a layperson to stay on top of the rules of accounting and manage the financial aspect of their business in an optimal manner.
