CRA Reviews & Compliance Support
When tax questions come up, you deserve a clear plan.
We support individuals, business owners, and professionals with CRA letters, review requests, reassessments, audit preparation, and compliance questions.
Our approach is calm, organized, and practical — helping you understand what has been requested, gather the right information, and move forward with clarity.
Why It Matters
A CRA letter should not leave you guessing.
CRA correspondence can feel overwhelming when the request is unclear, the deadline is approaching, or the documents are not easy to find.
The right support can help slow the process down, organize the facts, and create a clear response plan.
Whether the matter relates to personal tax, corporate tax, payroll, HST/GST, or bookkeeping records, our role is to help you understand the next step.

Common Situations
The right response begins with understanding the request.
Not every CRA letter means the same thing. Some are simple document requests. Others may involve reassessments, audits, deadlines, or formal dispute processes.
Our role is to help you understand the nature of the request before taking action.
You received a CRA review letter
A review letter may ask for documents to support a claim, deduction, credit, income item, or filing position.
You received a notice of reassessment
A reassessment may change your tax result and may require review, explanation, adjustment, or further action.
Your business was selected for audit
A business audit may involve a closer review of books, records, filings, HST/GST, payroll, or supporting documents.
CRA requested payroll or HST/GST records
Payroll and HST/GST matters often require clear documentation, reconciliations, invoices, remittance records, and supporting reports.
You are behind on filings
Late or missing filings can become stressful. A structured plan can help organize records and identify the next step.
You may need specialized tax support
Some matters require a tax lawyer, cross-border specialist, or litigation counsel. When needed, we believe in identifying that clearly and helping clients seek the right support.

We believe compliance support should feel calm, organized, and practical.

The Value of Organization
Good records make compliance easier.
CRA reviews and audits often come down to documentation.
When records are organized, it becomes easier to support filings, explain business activity, respond to requests, and reduce uncertainty.
Strong recordkeeping also helps with bookkeeping, payroll, HST/GST, year-end tax preparation, and future planning.

Connected Thinking
Compliance support can reveal where the process needs improvement.
A CRA letter or review request may highlight gaps in bookkeeping, payroll, HST/GST records, document collection, or filing routines.
Rather than only responding to the issue in front of us, we also help clients think about how to improve the process going forward.
Through SG's relationship-based approach, clients benefit from conversations that connect tax compliance, accounting systems, bookkeeping, payroll, and broader planning needs where relevant.
