Small Business Spotlight - The Laundry.

"Xaden goes above and beyond. He has handled absolutely everything for me, from the original business set-up two years ago, our biweekly payroll, our marketing & form creation, to our corporate tax filings. He continues to analyze our costs and has saved me over $3,000+ per year and so many headaches. It's the peace of mind every business owner needs knowing they have a proactive young man looking out for them.

Our Story

Accounting for
the rest of us.

Steadfast Accounting was born in Edmonton from a desire to do better for local business owners. Between rising rents, utility costs, and the post-Covid economic landscape, every dollar counts more than ever. We noticed many entrepreneurs were stuck between expensive downtown firms and basic tax-filing services that didn't offer year-round support.

We built Steadfast Accounting to be the middle ground: professional and rigorous, but also efficient and accessible. By adopting the best cloud technology and keeping our overhead low, we provide high-level financial partnership without the premium price tag.

Founder & Lead Accountant

"I started Steadfast Accounting to give entrepreneurs the financial clarity they need to navigate today's market. My goal isn't just to file your taxes; it's to help you understand your numbers so you can make confident decisions for your business's future."

How We Operate

Simple principles that keep our work (and your business) on track.

No "Accountant Speak"

We don't use jargon to sound smart. If you don't understand your financial reports, we haven't done our job. We explain everything in plain English.

Respect for Time

Your time is money. We use automated portals, digital signatures, and scheduled check-ins so you never waste hours chasing paper.

Total Transparency

No surprise bills. No hidden fees. We operate on fixed monthly pricing or quoted project fees so you can budget effectively.

T2 Corporate Income Tax Preparation

Preparing your corporate tax return (T2) requires more than just data entry. It requires a strategic understanding of the Income Tax Act to ensure you are tax-efficient. We prepare comprehensive tax returns for Canadian Controlled Private Corporations (CCPCs).

• GIFI Financial Statement preparation (Notice to Reader standard)
• Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) optimization
• Provincial and Federal tax credit assessments

Sales tax compliance is often a major pain point for growing businesses. We ensure your collections and Input Tax Credits (ITCs) are calculated correctly and filed on time, every time.

• Monthly, Quarterly, or Annual filing preparation
• CRA audit support and representation
• "Quick Method" vs. Regular Method analysis
