Filing voluntarily before CRA contacts you is almost always cheaper than waiting. We'll advise whether the Voluntary Disclosures Program applies to your situation.
Bank and credit card statements are enough to reconstruct most transactions. We'll tell you exactly what's unrecoverable and how to document it for CRA. Spreadsheets and PDFs work too.
We bill hourly at $60–$75. After a free review of your records we give you an estimated range of hours, so you know the likely total before any work starts.
There's no limit. We regularly reconstruct three to five years of records. The further back it goes, the more we rely on bank statements rather than software history.
