Nunavut CPA | Canada's Arctic Frontier

Operating a business in Nunavut comes with challenges unlike anywhere else in Canada. Remote logistics, higher operating costs, and strict compliance requirements demand careful financial planning from day one. 786 Venture CPA delivers strategic small business accounting in Nunavut for operators working across mining, construction, logistics, professional services, and Inuit-owned enterprises. Serving Nunavut remotely from our Calgary office, we help businesses benefit from the territory’s low small business tax rate while navigating Arctic development opportunities, government programs, and long-term sustainability through accurate bookkeeping services in Nunavut and proactive taxation services in Nunavut.

We prepare corporate T2 returns (a fixed $1,200 with a bookkeeping package, $1,500 on their own or $500 for a NIL return, due within six months of year end) and personal T1 returns (from $200, due April 30, or June 15 if you are self-employed, with any balance still due April 30) for Nunavut businesses, remotely from our Calgary office.
