Salary or dividends: which one is right for you? 🤔

If you own an incorporated business, how you pay yourself affects your taxes, your retirement savings, and even your access to certain benefits. Salaries offer RRSP room and CPP. Dividends offer simplicity and more cash now. Each has its place.

Not sure which fits your situation? Let's talk it through. See the link in the comment.

Is sales tax quietly costing your business more than it should? 🤔

From CRA assessments to US sales tax you didn't know you owed, indirect taxes can catch business owners off guard. The right process makes all the difference, and less stress too.

Swipe through and see if any of these sound familiar. Then read the full blog in the comment section.

Ever wonder how much bad bookkeeping is really costing your business? 📊

It's rarely just about messy numbers. Disorganized books quietly drain businesses through overpaid taxes, cash flow blind spots, strained lender relationships, and unwanted CRA attention, often before an owner even realizes there's a problem.

The businesses that avoid this aren't necessarily the ones working harder. They're the ones with accurate, up-to-date records giving them clarity to make confident decisions.

At Achen Henderson, we manage bookkeeping directly for our clients, so their numbers are always accurate and audit-ready...no surprises, no scrambling. Don't let your books hold your business back.

Were you getting ready for PST to hit your professional service bills on October 1? 🤔

Good news: the BC government has pressed pause on the PST expansion to professional services, including accounting, bookkeeping, engineering, architectural, real estate, and security services. The delay comes as the province responds to ongoing trade tensions and tariff pressures on local businesses.

It's a welcome breather, but it's a pause, not a goodbye. If trade talks between Canada and the U.S. make progress, these changes could be back on the table with a few months' notice.

Had you already started preparing for the change? Let us know in the comments 👇
