I'm an independent software consultant and have a incorporated company.

Looking for a good accountant to handle company accounting ( taxes, filing regularly for GST etc, EI and CPP deductions etc etc...). It would not be very complicated since I'm the only employee currently.

What kind of accountant should I be looking for, i.e. with what qualification? How much would i be paying approximately?

Anybody know anyone good in or around Mississauga? Your recommendations are appreciated.

I am also software consultant. I am not incorporated though. My accountant is in Markham, which I think is too far from where you live.

Anyway, it is lot of JAFA. I would better love back to go to employment....

How right you are, Garvobhai!!!

It is the biggest JAFA in the whole world. Its actually much bigger once you're incorporated. This year is the first time I'm filing as a inc. contractor and its too much, I'm going back to being an employee.

Btw, how much does your accountant charge you? Is he a "gora" or a "desi"?

Agreed. I'm not shelling out money for the complexity of it, just the hassle. I think its more psychological than practical, but hey!!

Its not such a big deal to do it yourself though, I'm sure!!
