Friday, August 26, 2016 11 Brooklin Town Crier For more information about this feature contact the Brooklin Town Crier at 905-442-9828 Meet Your Local Merchant In May of 2000, I relocated my family and business to Brooklin. I am involved with a number of businesses which include Brooklin Tax and Bookkeeping Services Inc., Hogan Financial Services Inc. and Alan Hogan, CPA, CGA. My office was originally located in my home, but about five years ago I moved it to its current location at 62 Winchester Road East across from the Luther Vipond Arena. Accounting, bookkeeping, personal and corporate taxes and the preparation of financial statements are the core of my business. My practice provides services to both individuals and owner-managed businesses in computers, construction, professionals, farming, retail, not-for-profit and other various industries. We provide bookkeeping services for numerous clients, including the preparation and filing of HST returns and source deduction calculations. These functions lead to financial statement preparation, the preparation and submissions of T4's, T3's, T5's, T5018 and other related submissions. We can assist clients with business plans and forecasts, startups, succession planning, payroll and employee issues to name a few. We help our clients with audits conducted by the Canada Revenue Agency, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board and any other agency that might be required to perform audits on client documentation. We will meet with the auditors on behalf of our clients, file appeals or notice of objections and then follow through on the process to ensure that our client's issues have been dealt with. If you have received a letter from Canada Revenue Agency, do not ignore it as, in most cases, it can be resolved very easily. We would like to provide every service that our client needs, however, this is simply not possible. We have a network of Tax and Accounting specialists at our disposal to work on complicated tax issues. We also have a network of other professionals for referrals such as Financial Planners, Lawyers, Real Estate Agents, Banks, Mortgage Brokers and so on. Volunteer activities are also an important part of our personal and business life. I have coached minor soccer, coached and managed minor hockey and held the position of Director of Public Practice for the Durham CGA chapter for 4 years. We try to support the Brooklin / Durham Region both on a personal and a business level whenever we can. We offer a free one hour consultation to new clients. If you find that you are in need of the services that we provide, please feel free to call us at (905) 655-8556 to set up an appointment so that we can discuss your needs.
