Personal income tax return preparation is available to new and existing clients, without a bookkeeping engagement. Corporate T2 returns are available only to established bookkeeping clients or businesses with an existing relationship with TBR, never as a standalone service. Scope and fees are confirmed before work begins.

What Every TBR Client Actually Gets
You work directly with Alex — a former CRA Trust Account Examination Officer, college-level QuickBooks instructor, and certified QuickBooks and Xero partner. Not a junior bookkeeper. Not offshore staff.
Client list is capped at seven bookkeeping clients so the work stays personal. Cloud access to your financials. Secure data handling. CRA compliance as an ongoing practice, not a once-a-year scramble.
Sister Company
Need the operational side covered too?
Some businesses need both financial compliance and operational infrastructure. Our sister company, Trusted AI Systems, builds custom AI agent systems, websites, and operational infrastructure for Canadian businesses. If you want both sides covered through one trusted relationship, ask about combined engagement options during your consultation.

Data Sovereignty
Know Where Your Financial Data Is Processed
Your books, payroll, and supporting records contain personal information. Client records are kept on Canadian infrastructure wherever TBR controls the stack; the website and intake path use the US-hosted processors disclosed in our Privacy Policy.
Data stored on US servers is subject to US legal process, including the US CLOUD Act, in ways Canadian-stored data is not. For businesses handing us bank feeds, payroll, and CRA filings, that exposure is not a default we accept.
