Do I need an accountant? Can’t I just do accounting on my own?
We get it. Professional accounting isn’t always cheap. If you have a basic understanding of taxes, access to helpful software, a fairly low income, and a relatively simple tax situation with common deductions, you may not need an accountant.
People often turn to hiring a personal accountant when their tax situation gets more complex, or when their income is very large (and thus more susceptible to an audit). Large transactions, such as real estate investment, may also require a professional accountant’s support.
If you’re self-employed, a professional accountant is strongly recommended. The bottom line: remember that hiring the expertise of an accountant can save you more money than if you didn’t, and your risk of getting into trouble with the CRA can be decreased by professional help. -

What is the difference between a corporation and a proprietorship?
An incorporated business is its own legal entity separate from its shareholders. This means that as a shareholder, you are not personally liable for it.
A proprietorship means you are the sole owner of the business and personally liable for it. There are other types of business structures, and more explanations can be found in this government guide. -
