The answers

Who is The Accounting Doc?

A Canadian accounting firm in Pickering, Ontario, founded in 2019 and co-founded by Salman Feroz, CPA, CMA and Adnan Feroz. We handle business registration, bookkeeping, tax, payroll and financial management for owners in Canada and abroad.

How much does it cost?

Monthly accounting starts from CAD 299 per month and registration from CAD 149. Tell us about your business and we confirm a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Can I start a Canadian company from the UAE, India or Pakistan?

Yes. We register Ontario or federal corporations for owners abroad and set up the CRA accounts you need. Registering a company does not give residency, immigration status or bank approval.

Do you do audits?

No. We do not provide audit or assurance engagements. We can work alongside your auditor.

I am behind on my filings. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping, late filings and CRA correspondence are a regular part of our work. Catch-up is quoted as a one-time project.

Can I switch accountants mid-year?

Yes. We request prior files and CRA access, review the last filings and tell you plainly if anything needs correcting.

Which areas do you serve?

Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Scarborough, Markham, Toronto and Durham Region in person, plus clients across Canada and in the GCC, Asia and Africa remotely.

What happens after I send the form?

You hear from us within one working day with an indicative range and the plan that fits. The exact fixed price follows a short review and is confirmed in writing.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Everything runs through secure digital workflows, with calls and screen shares when you want to talk through the numbers. In-person meetings at the Pickering office are available when you prefer them.

Can you work with QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes. We work in QuickBooks Online and Xero, and can migrate you from spreadsheets or desktop software.

Do you handle GST/HST and payroll?

Yes: registration, filing frequency, returns, payroll runs, remittances, T4s and ROEs.

Do you file corporate taxes?

Yes. T2 corporate returns, instalments, T1 personal returns for owners, and the planning that goes with both.

Do I need to incorporate?

Not always. If your profit is close to what you spend personally, a sole proprietorship may be cheaper to run. Incorporation makes sense when you retain profit, want liability separation, or clients and lenders expect it. We model both before you decide.

Ontario or federal incorporation?

Federal gives Canada-wide name protection but requires 25% Canadian-resident directors and extra provincial registration. Ontario is simpler and has no director residency requirement. We recommend based on where you will actually operate.

How long does incorporation take?

An Ontario corporation is typically registered within one to two business days once we have your details. CRA accounts and accounting setup typically complete within one to two weeks.

Do I need to register for GST/HST right away?

Registration is generally required once taxable revenue exceeds CAD 30,000 over four consecutive quarters. Registering earlier lets you claim input tax credits, and we review whether it helps you.

Are government fees included in your prices?

No. Government filing fees for incorporation, NUANS and name registration are separate from professional fees and are shown to you before you pay.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

Monthly plans are month to month with a short onboarding period. Exact engagement terms are set out in the written quote.

Can a Canadian company open Stripe or a bank account?

Many Canadian corporations use Canadian payment processors and banks, but approval is decided by each institution on its own criteria. We prepare complete, professional corporate records to support your application. We cannot guarantee approval.

Do you provide legal or immigration advice?

No. We handle registration filings and accounting. Shareholder agreements and legal opinions should come from your lawyer, and immigration matters from a licensed immigration professional.

Do you ask for confidential documents on your forms?

No. We never ask for confidential documents on a web form. Secure upload happens after onboarding.

The Accounting Doc does not provide audit or assurance engagements.
