Accounts Receivable Management in Canada

We shorten your cash-collection cycle and keep DSO under control. Delivered to ASPE / IFRS for Canadian businesses, priced in CAD.

Why Canadian businesses choose Salt

Canadian AR carries the GST/HST rate of the customer's province rather than yours, so place-of-supply rules decide what you invoice. Getting it wrong understates a liability due one month after the reporting period whether or not the invoice was paid. We invoice with the correct provincial treatment, collect on schedule, and report DSO against the filing calendar.

We issue invoices, run structured collections, apply payments, and report on aging — so revenue actually lands in your bank account instead of sitting in receivables.

Provincial sales tax layers on top of federal GST differently in each province, so the chart of accounts has to separate GST, HST, PST and QST from the start.

What this costs in practice

A worked example, in your currency.

A Toronto professional services firm, 1,100 transactions a month, HST-registered, 14 staff.

In-house bookkeeper (fully loaded, per month)
$5,900
Salt bookkeeping + HST compliance
$1,700
Monthly saving
$4,200

Figures in CAD. Firms operating across provinces usually need separate tax codes per province rather than one blended rate.

Standards and authorities

The framework your Canada accounts are held to.

We prepare to ASPE or IFRS, as issued by the AcSB. These are the bodies that set that framework and the authorities you file with — linked so you can verify the standard rather than take our word for it.

Listed for reference. Salt Accounting Group is not stating membership, registration or affiliation with any of these organisations. Where a filing must be lodged by a registered local agent, it is — your agent keeps the lodgement and the professional sign-off.
