Professional Services

About Reach

Professional service firms operate in a financial environment where revenue depends on expertise, client relationships, and time-based work. At Reach, we provide accounting, tax, and advisory support designed for service-based businesses and incorporated professionals. 

Our team helps professionals manage tax and compliance requirements and plan effectively as their practices grow. We work alongside owners and leadership teams as practical advisors, helping them make informed financial decisions while focusing on delivering value to their clients.

What types of professional service businesses does Reach work with?

Reach works with a wide range of service-based professionals, including lawyers, management consultants, IT consultants, project managers, HR professionals and fractional CHROs, engineers, and other advisory-based businesses. We support solo professionals, partnerships, and growing professional service firms across Canada.

How does Reach specifically support lawyers, consultants, and HR professionals?

We understand service-based billing models such as hourly billing, retainers, and project-based work. Reach supports professionals with bookkeeping, accounting, payroll, HST compliance, corporate structuring, and tax planning. We also help manage cash flow for fluctuating income, optimize salary versus dividend strategies, and support long-term planning for growth and succession.

Does Reach provide both corporate and personal tax services for professionals?

Yes. Reach provides both corporate and personal tax services for professionals operating through corporations or as sole proprietors. This includes corporate tax returns, personal tax returns, compensation planning, and integrated tax strategies to align business and personal financial goals.

Why is it important to hire an accounting firm that specializes in service-based businesses?

Service-based businesses operate differently from product-based companies. Revenue depends on time, expertise, and relationships rather than inventory. An accounting firm that understands professional services can better manage billing structures, cash flow, compensation models, and tax planning. At Reach, our specialization allows us to provide advice that reflects the real-world needs of service-based professionals.
