Incorporated for a few years now. My current accountant is retiring and I need to find a new one ASAP.

What I'm looking for
- company year end preparation
- help with CRA strategies
- I can and will do the basic book keeping, complete my general ledger etc, a template and minimal coaching would be enough

Ideally, they will have time to give expert advice. I don't mind being charged for it either. For example, would I be classified as a personal services corporation or as a small business given my current contracting situation. Either answer known up front can save me a lot of money. Being wrong will really hurt, almost to the point of bankruptcy in extreme scenarios.

On the other hand, I would prefer to do the book keeping to save money.

Much appreciated!
