East Gwillimbury accountant for trades, small businesses and tax returns

East Gwillimbury grew 44.4% between 2016 and 2021, from 23,991 people to 34,637. Statistics Canada ranked that as the fastest growth of any municipality in Canada with at least 5,000 people. The town is in northern York Region, and its main villages are Holland Landing, Queensville, Sharon and Mount Albert.

Highway 404 runs through town with interchanges at Green Lane, Queensville Sideroad and Woodbine Avenue, and East Gwillimbury GO is on the Barrie line. The Bradford Bypass, now under construction, will add a highway link between the 400 and the 404.

Growth like that means houses, roads and services getting built, and trades businesses doing the work: framers, electricians, plumbers, HVAC and finishers. It usually means bigger crews too, whether that's your first employee, a second truck or subs on larger jobs.

Your first hire is when payroll gets real. You need a CRA payroll account, source deductions remitted on time, T4s at year-end and WSIB premiums tracked against wages. I can handle simple payroll like that. If your situation needs a proper payroll platform, I'll tell you up front.

Paying subs instead? If more than half your business income comes from construction, CRA wants a T5018 for each sub you paid more than $500 in the year (not counting HST). It's due within six months after the end of your reporting period.
