With over 35 years of collective business experience, we're here to help your business succeed so you can do more of what you love.
Tax, accounting, and financial support for Ajax businesses in the Durham Region.
You're our most important client
At Padgett, you'll find more than a tax preparer or accountant — you'll find a true partner and advisor. As business owners ourselves, we know the ins and outs of what it takes to succeed. We'll build a real relationship to understand your needs throughout the year.
Our Services
Build a better foundation for your financial health
It's no surprise that many small business owners are stressed about making a mistake with their bookkeeping. If you own a business, properly maintained books are especially crucial. Accounting is a tool you need in your belt. An accurate picture of your financial situation is necessary to make smart, informed decisions for the future and protect your bottom line. Partnering with a Padgett professional can help you gain confidence in the accuracy of your financial reports—and give you the understanding you need to put that information to work.
Ongoing financial tracking
Padgett can compile all of your business's books and records into current, usable information.
We won't just hand you a stack of numbers. We'll make sure you understand what that information really means for you and your business.
As a business owner, you likely want to maximize profits and minimize taxes. Accurate accounting reviews will help you accomplish your goals.
Your business doesn't stop. We'll be with you year-round so you get consistent, monthly accounting reports, even during tax season.
Accounting software is a powerful tool—if you know how to use it properly. Even if you have accounting software, it doesn't need to take up your time. We are familiar with many of the accounting software packages in the marketplace and Padgett has National Account status with Intuit QuickBooks.
Experience with your software
Consistent tax support in an ever-changing world
Understanding your taxes can be stressful and time consuming, especially when mistakes can present a significant financial risk to you or your business. Our years of experience mean we can notice mistakes that could negatively impact your future. We may also see opportunities and make suggestions to improve your financial situation. Stay in control and reclaim your time by working with a Padgett tax professional during the year.
We know taxes aren't easy
Taxes are complicated enough without constant legislative changes. But when the tax code only gets more and more complex each year, it's almost impossible to keep up with it on your own.
Receiving a CRA notice can be scary if you don't know what it means and don't know who to turn to for help.
At some tax preparation companies, your experience is limited to a once-annual transaction during tax time. They may not be there to answer your questions or address notices, audits, or errors.
If your tax preparer makes mistakes or is difficult to communicate with, it can leave you with a stressful situation that you shouldn't have to face alone.
We can provide more than just an accurate, timely tax return for you or your business. We build a relationship with you and become not just your tax preparer, but your tax partner. We'll get to know you, so we can help transform your past tax data into usable information for future planning for your business and other life events. We keep current on new legislation and updates, so you can make proactive changes rather than after-the-fact adjustments. Whether it's helping you gather documentation for an audit or just responding to a letter from the CRA, we're here to help.
Padgett's tax service is different
Modern, efficient processes for your business and employees
People have been keeping payroll records for thousands of years, yet it's still a stressful, high-risk task for most business owners. But if you have employees, payroll isn't something you can avoid. With frequent deadlines to meet, it can be a time-consuming process to manage payroll on your own, and the consequences of mistakes can be disastrous—from employee loss to tax penalties. Working with a Padgett payroll partner can help relieve that stress and free up your time for the things you care about.
A true partner for your payroll
Reduce risk and streamline your payroll process by working with a professional to complete your payroll tasks.
You'll have a dedicated specialist, so you always know who to call with questions.
With PayTrak's self-service payroll portal, you, employees or your Padgett advisor can access payroll reports when or where you need them.
Padgett can manage your payroll using your current application or our preferred partner, PayTrak Payroll Services. We can save you time by processing your regular payroll cheques, T4's, T4A's and T4SUMs and providing you with user-friendly reports. You can feel confident that your employees are being paid on time and your taxes and deductions are calculated accurately.
Better employee support
Discover new opportunities for your financial growth
Are you taking advantage of financial opportunities? Your local Padgett office does things machines and big corporations can't like providing the understanding and essential advice that individuals and small businesses need to make decisions with peace of mind. According to a survey of small business owners, 70% of businesses who had an advisor or mentor survived more than five years. When you work with a Padgett advisor, you get to draw on our years of business experience to help you succeed.
Feel secure in your financial situation
Life is unpredictable, and a Padgett advisor can help you make dynamic financial and business decisions with confidence.
We can address almost any business management topic, including budgeting, setting and tracking your goals, addressing cash flow issues and more.
For individuals, we provide financial advice to help you through life's big and little moments, such as education, marriage, divorce, childcare, and your day-to-day finances.
Do you know who to call if you have a question about your business or finances? With a Padgett advisor, you don't have to wonder. You need a true partner to support your financial health, and that kind of relationship isn't possible if it's limited to a tax discussion once a year. Instead, we'll be with you year-round to address financial issues as they arise, not after it's too late to make positive adjustments.
We're there when you need us
We're particularly experienced with the Food Service, Personal Service, Construction/Trade, Real Estate, Retail, & Professional Services industries.
That means instead of focusing on your finances, you get to devote more time to what's important to you! Our clients say that by working with Padgett, they've grown their business or spent more time with loved ones.
