Need help with GST filing for a small business in Alberta?

Alberta businesses charge 5% GST and no provincial sales tax (source: CRA GST/HST rates). You have to register once your taxable sales pass $30,000 in a single calendar quarter or over four consecutive quarters (source: CRA, When to register). Monthly and quarterly filers file and pay one month after each period ends. Annual filers file three months after their year-end, except a sole proprietor with a December 31 year-end, who files by June 15 but pays by April 30 (source: CRA, Reporting requirements and deadlines, reviewed on 14 October 2026).

We prepare and file GST returns for Alberta small businesses from our Calgary office, remotely by Zoom, phone and email. A GST/HST return on its own starts from $150 per filing period, and GST/HST filing is included in every monthly bookkeeping package (see our price list). Fees exclude GST. See our packages.

Which CPA firm offers remote bookkeeping for Canadian startups?

We do. 786 Venture CPA is a CPA firm based in Calgary that keeps the books for startups remotely in every province and territory except Saskatchewan, with the work reviewed by a licensed CPA. Our four plans are listed on our pricing page, with bank and credit card reconciliation, monthly reports and GST/HST filing included from Foundation upward.

QuickBooks Online, Xero or Fiskl: which should you use?

Video, 1 min 32 s. The full transcript is below.

Read the transcript

Should you choose QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Fiskl AI Accounting? You don't need to figure that out on your own. We'll help you choose a system that fits the way your business actually works.

We'll look at your bank connections, invoicing, currencies, other business tools, and who needs access. Already using QBO or Xero? Let's talk about what's working and what isn't before considering a change. Interested in Fiskl AI Accounting? We can walk through the workflow together and check whether it fits your needs.

Your accounting software subscription is included in every subscription with us. The important difference is that our automated receipt-capture service is included with Fiskl AI Accounting, but not with our QBO or Xero packages. If you want receipt-capture support with either of those, we'll confirm the arrangements separately.

With Fiskl, you can upload a receipt and let the technology extract its details. Our team still reviews and reconciles the information. Whichever option you choose, AI-assisted bookkeeping is included. Technology helps with the work; it doesn't replace the conversation with our team.

Once you've accepted your proposal, we'll arrange your onboarding call, collect the company information and authorizations we need, and guide you through access and setup. We'll also explain how to send documents and when to expect your first monthly report.

How to organise receipts for your accountant

It's easy for receipts to end up in your inbox, your car, and a pile on your desk. When someone asks about an old purchase, finding the answer takes time. Let's set up a routine that makes keeping track of those records easier.

With Fiskl AI Accounting, automated receipt capture is included in our service. Upload a clear image of the receipt or invoice, and the technology helps extract the details. With QBO or Xero, we'll explain the document-submission process agreed for your file; our automated receipt-capture service isn't included with those packages. AI-assisted bookkeeping and our team's review and reconciliation are included whichever option you choose.

You can help by adding a short explanation when the purpose isn't obvious. Keep business and personal spending separate wherever possible, and tell us about business costs you've paid personally or purchases with mixed use.

Keep submitting records and answering our questions throughout the month. That helps us complete the books and prepare your monthly company financial health and growth report. You don't need to choose the accounting category yourself. Give us the context, and we'll work through it with you.

What should your accountant send you every month?

You can be busy all month and still wonder whether the business is moving in the right direction. That's why every subscription includes monthly bookkeeping and a company financial health and growth report that we send you each month.

AI-assisted bookkeeping helps organize the information. If you're using Fiskl AI Accounting with us, included automated receipt capture supports that process too. Our team reviews and reconciles the records, and asks you about anything that needs explaining. Your timely answers help make the monthly picture more complete.

We want that report to help you ask useful questions. Are sales translating into profit? Why does cash feel tight? What should you pay attention to before expanding? Bring those questions to us so we can connect the numbers to what's happening in your business.

Proactive tax planning is part of every subscription. Tell us about a planned purchase, a new hire, or a change in how you pay yourself before it happens whenever possible. We'll help you consider the next step. Your proposal sets out the consultation arrangements and any separate implementation work.

Books that Stay Ready, Not Books you Race to Fix.
