Salary or dividends? For incorporated business owners, there is no one answer that works for everyone.

Salary can create RRSP contribution room, build CPP pensionable earnings, and is generally deductible to the corporation. Dividends are not subject to CPP and do not create RRSP contribution room.

The best approach depends on your personal income, corporate profits, cash flow needs, and long-term financial goals. In some cases, a combination of salary and dividends may make the most sense.

Are you paying yourself in a way that supports both your current needs and future goals?

Your audit may be costing more than it should and your accounting records could be the reason.

Missing documents, unreconciled accounts, incorrect classifications, weak payroll records, and last-minute adjustments can create more work for auditors. That often means additional questions, longer timelines, and higher professional fees.

A few simple habits can help reduce unnecessary audit work:
- Reconcile your accounts every month
- Keep invoices, receipts, and supporting documents organized
- Review unusual transactions before year-end
- Respond quickly to document requests

Our latest blog explains 10 common accounting mistakes that can increase audit fees and how stronger accounting processes can help your business stay organized, reduce delays, and remain audit-ready throughout the year.

🚨 Calling someone a contractor doesn’t automatically make them one in the eyes of the CRA.

If you control when and how someone works, provide their tools, and treat them like part of your team, the CRA may consider them an employee, even if they signed a contractor agreement.

Misclassifying a worker can become expensive fast. Your business could face:

• Backdated CPP contributions
• EI premiums
• Penalties and interest
• Payroll compliance issues

The CRA looks at the actual working relationship, not just what the contract says.

Correct classification can help protect your business from unexpected payroll costs and CRA reassessments.

🛑 Put the corporate card down. That personal charge hurts you.

Using your business card for groceries or other personal expenses may seem harmless, but it can create real problems.

Mixing personal and business spending can lead to:

• Inaccurate financial records
• Shareholder account issues
• Incorrect tax deductions
• Increased CRA audit risk

Keeping personal and business expenses separate means cleaner books, more reliable financial statements, and better visibility into your business.

Keep separate cards. Keep clean records.

🚨 Being fully booked does not always mean your business is profitable.

Sales may be increasing, your team may be working overtime, and your schedule may be full but if wages, overhead, taxes, and operating costs are consuming your revenue, your business can still struggle financially.

Growth without healthy profit margins can lead to:
❌ Cash flow shortages
❌ Financial stress
❌ Team burnout
❌ More work with little money left

To understand whether your business is truly making money, track your margins, expenses, pricing, and the profit remaining after all costs.

Revenue shows how much your business earns. Profit shows how much your business actually keeps.

🚨 You cannot make timely business decisions with outdated numbers.

Doing your bookkeeping only at tax time may leave you guessing about your cash flow, expenses, payroll, and profitability throughout the year.

Up-to-date bookkeeping helps you make better decisions about:

✅ Pricing your services
✅ Hiring new employees
✅ Managing payroll and taxes
✅ Controlling expenses
✅ Planning for growth

Bookkeeping is not only about preparing your tax return. It gives you the financial information you need to run your business with confidence.
