One

The quadrant with the most moving parts

Northeast Calgary carries a heavy concentration of transport, warehousing, trades and small manufacturing, much of it around the airport and the industrial parks off Barlow and Deerfoot. Those businesses tend to have more employees, more subcontractors and more equipment than the city average, which means more filings rather than harder ones.

HBT handles the volume side of that: payroll that runs on time, source deductions remitted correctly, GST filed on schedule and the year end built on books that were reconciled monthly rather than reconstructed in the spring.

What a northeast engagement usually covers

Payroll at volume

More employees means more remittances and more slips, all on one schedule.

Equipment treated correctly

Vehicles and plant capitalised properly rather than expensed and later reassessed.

Subcontractor reporting

Where a construction business pays subcontractors, T5018 slips are prepared from records kept through the year.

Three

How the work begins

  1. Step 1: Map the operation

    Headcount, subcontractors, equipment and what is currently filed.

  2. Step 2: Scope and fee agreed

    In writing before any paid work begins.

  3. Step 3: A monthly rhythm

    Books closed each month so the year end is a confirmation.

Yes. The office is at Unit 220, 1830 52 Street SE, a short drive from most of the northeast industrial area. Records can be exchanged securely if you would rather not drive at all, and the work runs the same either way.
