The hard part is rarely the filing. It is getting the owner to do things in the right order, and to stop before they distribute. CloseMyBusiness.ca works through the options with your client and prepares a work order for you. You keep the client and bill for your work.
Get the free packet and work orderA client-ready closing guide, and a one-page work order template.
Information for professional review. Not legal, tax or accounting advice.
All three are offered to every accountant and bookkeeper. None depends on you referring anyone.
One page per client, prepared from the owner's answers with their permission. It lists what you are asked to request, compute and file, and the deadlines.
A checklist and plain-language guide you can hand to a client who says they want to close. It says CloseMyBusiness.ca is not a firm of accountants or lawyers, and that it pays and receives no referral fees.
A named contact for your questions about a client's closing, answered within 2 business days.
A sample, so you can judge it before you ask a client to use it.
CloseMyBusiness.ca works with the owner: it sets out the options, puts the steps in order, and prepares documents for professional review. You do the CRA work and the tax computations you are licensed to do, and you bill your client for them.
Request the CRA clearance certificate, file the final returns, compute tax on any distribution, and advise on tax.
Assesses the situation, sets out options, prepares the work order and drafts for review, coaches the owner, and coordinates. We do not file with the CRA.
Handles claims, employee disputes and the dissolution documents where a lawyer is needed. A licensed insolvency trustee steps in if the company cannot pay its debts.
CloseMyBusiness.ca pays no commission, fee, rebate, gift or discount for referrals, and accepts none from accountants. We do not rank or reward accountants by referrals, and where an owner needs an accountant, we will show more than one name and let the owner choose. If you want to tell a client where you stand, you may say: "CloseMyBusiness.ca pays me nothing and I receive no benefit for introducing it."
No. CloseMyBusiness.ca does not prepare tax filings or act for the CRA. The accountant on file stays the accountant and bills for the work.
The work order asks you to do your own work as you would for any client. Our materials are information for professional review, not advice.
No, and we accept none. That is deliberate.
The optional AI agent is switched off unless the owner turns it on. It does not file or send anything, and it sends complex questions to a person. The packet and work order need no AI at all.
The Options Check refers them to a licensed insolvency trustee. CloseMyBusiness.ca does not act as a trustee.
The work order is built to save time, and you decide how much to take on.
No. You will get the resource, and occasional related material you can unsubscribe from at any time.
