about us
Get Balanced recognizes that there is a gap in services provided to small businesses. Many small businesses don’t have the manpower or infrastructure to have an accounting department, therefore leaving all bookkeeping tasks to the owner or other family members. Get Balanced recognizes that most small business owners who do not have the knowledge or the time to do their own bookkeeping, will rely on dropping their files at their accountant. This often leads to a rushed approach on compiling a year, often missing tax saving opportunities and spending a lot of money to have the accountants team compile their books.
Our approach is to provide custom processes based on the client’s needs. Not every small business needs are the same. The Get Balanced team spends time understanding the unique needs of each client and provides strategies in a cost efficient way.
We proudly provide

· filing of GST/PST returns
· payroll services and filing of payroll remittances
