Our Services
Our expertise lies in building a solid, compliant, and efficient financial structure for both your business and personal life. When your accounting is handled strategically, every other financial decision becomes clearer and easier. We ensure your financial foundation is rock solid, allowing you to focus on what you do best.
Bookkeeping
We take the day-to-day burden of administration off your shoulders, ensuring your financials are accurate and up-to-date. Our services include accurate and timely data entry, general ledger maintenance, and managing your accounts payable and receivable. We provide detailed financial reporting on a monthly or quarterly basis, giving you true clarity into your cash flow and performance. This is more than just data processing—it's about giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your books are perfectly in order.
Tax Preparation and Planning
Our approach to tax goes far beyond simple filing. We work proactively to help minimize your tax burden and ensure you remain fully compliant with all regulations. This includes expert preparation and filing for both your corporate and personal taxes. Crucially, we are your point of contact for the Canada Revenue Agency, handling all CRA inquiries, audits, and compliance matters on your behalf. We focus on strategic planning throughout the year to maximize all available deductions and credits, ensuring you keep more of what you earn.
Payroll and Advisory Services
We provide comprehensive support for your team and your long-term business strategy. Our payroll services ensure your employees are paid correctly and on time, covering full-cycle payroll processing, T4 preparation, and all necessary source deduction remittances. Furthermore, we offer advisory services to help you make key business decisions, including selecting the optimal corporate structure for tax efficiency, guiding you through business registration, and providing strategic financial analysis to forecast growth. We are here as a resource to help your business evolve and succeed.
Integrated Financial Planning
We believe your tax strategy and financial plan should be in sync. While Blue Ocean does not sell investments or insurance, we work in close collaboration with independent financial planning partners. This ensures your investment strategy, insurance needs, and corporate structure are built around a tax-smart foundation.
