Why Payroll & Compliance Matters

Managing payroll is more than just cutting cheques, it’s a fundamental part of your business’s financial health and compliance obligations. Done right, payroll builds trust with your team and keeps you in good standing with the CRA. Done wrong, it creates unnecessary risk, administrative issues, and potential penalties. At Origin Accounting & Advisory LLP, we deliver full-service payroll and compliance support designed for growing Canadian businesses.

Tailored Support for Growing Businesses

We work with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing tailored payroll solutions that scale with your growth. Whether you’re running a straightforward bi-weekly payroll or managing multi-province staff and commission structures, our team ensures accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind.

All-in-One Payroll & Compliance Service

Our payroll and compliance service includes everything you need to stay on track: processing pay runs, calculating and submitting CRA remittances, issuing Records of Employment (ROEs), filing year-end T4 and T4A slips, tracking vacation and statutory holiday pay, and keeping your processes aligned with evolving provincial and federal regulations.

Seamless Integration with Financial Systems

We also specialize in integrating payroll with your broader financial operations. Payroll and compliance services can be paired with our Scalable Bookkeeping or Fractional Controller services, meaning the entire process is managed by our team of professionals, ensuring accurate financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting. This seamless integration eliminates manual entry errors and keeps your finance function tight and responsive.

Compliance Without Compromise

Compliance is at the core of everything we do. We track employment standards across all Canadian provinces and stay current with CRA deadlines, remittance requirements, and reporting obligations. With Origin, your business benefits from proactive compliance reviews and an audit-ready approach that keeps your records clean and your risk exposure low.

Platform Flexibility and Transition Support

We support leading Canadian payroll platforms including Wagepoint, Payworks, Ceridian, and ADP. Whether you’re looking to streamline your current setup or migrate to a better fit, we can help you choose the right tool and manage the transition with minimal disruption.

A Smarter Payroll Partner

If you’re a small or medium sized business that wants a reliable partner to take payroll off your plate, our Payroll & Compliance service is built for you. It’s not just about payroll processing, it’s about creating a payroll function that’s compliant, scalable, and aligned with the needs of your business.

Let Origin Accounting & Advisory help you build a smarter, stronger payroll process, one that grows with your business and supports your people every step of the way.

  • What our Clients Say

    We were introduced to Origin as a firm that could help us through the maternity leave of a key admin and finance person in our 18-employee company. Over a series of meetings, we developed a format that would work for our situation and implemented shortly after. 

    The relationship has worked very well since, delivering on both the accounting and the advisory side. It has been much more than simply filling in for a leave employee, and when that employee returns, the efficiencies and organization that Origin has built into the role will allow her to work much more effectively. Origin is an innovative company that I can recommend without hesitation.

  • What our Clients Say

    Matt and the Origin team have transformed our financial operations at Stevenson Industrial Refrigeration. From day one, they delivered comprehensive reporting, rolling cash-flow forecasts, and expert guidance, including leading the implementation of our new accounting system and enhanced reporting templates. 

    The processes they put in place quickly uncovered internal theft, and they navigated the bank’s financial requirements to facilitate our company buy-back. Thanks to their clear, actionable advice, we now enjoy real-time visibility into our pipeline, resources, and cash position.

    I consider Origin a true partner in accounting and finance.

    President and CEO, Stevenson Industrial Refrigeration Ltd.

  • What our Clients Say

    Origin Accounting has been a pleasure to work with. Since bringing them onboard to be our Fractional Controller in October of 2023, the business has been running smoother, cleaner and we have a clear outlook on our financial health, cash flow, and always know where we stand with our projects. 

    Owning a construction company can be rewarding but also very risky so having live data to work with is critical for planning and operating successfully. I would highly recommend hiring Matt, Zohra and their team. The future is brighter with them on your side!

    Owner, City & Country Contracting Ltd.

  • What our Clients Say

    It is a pleasure working with the team at Origin Accounting. They have brought clarity and consistency to our financial systems—managing everything from monthly bookkeeping and AP/AR to board reporting and audit prep. 

    Their approach is thorough, responsive, and tailored to the unique needs of our small nonprofit. It’s obvious that they care about our work –  they are as familiar with our programs, funders, and operations as we are! Thanks to their support, I feel more confident in our numbers and have more time to focus on our mission.
