Tax Accountant in Oshawa
From the machine shops off the 401 to incorporated tradespeople across Durham, FShad CPA looks after the corporate tax, bookkeeping, and CRA files of Oshawa’s hands-on economy, with a CPA behind every return.
Serving Oshawa From Our Concord Office
Oshawa’s economy is built with tools: automotive supply shops, machinists, mechanics, welders, and the small industrial companies that keep Durham’s plants and job sites moving. FShad CPA is the tax accountant for owners like these: people who would rather spend the week in the shop than sorting receipts for CRA.
Our office is in Concord, approximately 50–60 minutes from Oshawa via Highway 401 East, so the working relationship is virtual by default: tax filing, quarterly reviews, and bookkeeping happen over video and secure upload. Annual planning can happen in person with free parking, and we travel to Oshawa for larger engagements, though most Durham clients never need to make the drive at all. Call 905-605-1605 to talk about your shop or company.
Accounting Services in Oshawa We Provide
Corporate Tax Services
Our corporate tax advisory team looks after the T2 returns, owner pay, and capital cost allowance (CCA) claims that decide what an Oshawa shop actually keeps. Equipment carries some of the biggest deductions an industrial business gets (hoists, CNC machines, service trucks) and claiming it well means planning the purchase year, not just recording it. We also track the small business deduction, HST filings, and the paperwork CRA expects when subcontractors are on the job. Plenty of our engagements begin when a growing shop brings on its first dedicated tax accountant in Oshawa after years of software-only filing, usually right after the first big equipment purchase or the first CRA letter.
Other Services
On the personal side, our tax accountants file returns for Oshawa tradespeople, apprentices, and residents with rental or self-employment income, including employed tradesperson tool deductions where they apply. Landlords with a rental unit or two get the same treatment: income schedules, expense tracking, and a file that holds up if CRA asks about it. Companies that need financial statements for a lender use our review engagements, and our bookkeeping keeps job costs and shop expenses sorted monthly instead of in a year-end scramble.
CRA Representation
CRA looks closely at businesses that run on vehicles, equipment, and subcontractors. Reviews of shop files usually start with mileage logs, T5018 subcontractor reporting, or a large expense claim, and the outcome rides on the records behind them. Our CRA representation service manages the whole review: we prepare each response, organize the documentation, and carry the file through reassessment and objection when it goes that far. You keep the bays full; we handle CRA.
Why Oshawa Businesses Choose FShad CPA
CPA credentials: every Oshawa engagement is carried by a Chartered Professional Accountant team with more than a decade in practice: licensed, insured, and accountable to a professional body.
Equipment-tax depth: CCA classes, trade-in treatment, and financing decisions on shop equipment are everyday questions here, and the answers show up directly on the tax bill.
Built for the distance: a weekly 401 drive to your accountant makes no sense. Documents, signatures, and meetings run remotely, and the phone gets answered.
Proven results: hundreds of GTA businesses have used our accounting firm to cut tax owing and close out CRA reviews, trades and manufacturing files among them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Garages, machine shops, welders, and incorporated tradespeople are the centre of our Oshawa work. We handle corporate tax filing, HST returns, and the equipment deductions shops depend on, whether you run three bays or work alone out of a truck. Monthly bookkeeping support is available too, so the records are ready before filing season instead of assembled during it.
Generally yes, through capital cost allowance and business-use vehicle claims. Everything rides on the paper trail: purchase documents, financing agreements, and a mileage log CRA will accept. We set up those records so the deductions survive a review. This is general information only; the right treatment depends on your situation.
Almost entirely online. Concord is 50–60 minutes away on the 401, so routine work runs by video and secure upload. You’re welcome in person for annual planning (free parking) and we come to you for bigger engagements. Start with a call to 905-605-1605.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a CPA in Canada. Faiq has helped our growing business answer and navigate a lot of questions in an uncommon marketplace. Going above and beyond to thoroughly research our industry and industry partners, and the tax obligations for working with out of country and out of province sales.

Fitness With Felly190 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I don’t write reviews often, but this one felt necessary because the experience was genuinely that good. I came in with a lot of questions about our corporate structure and tax obligations — the kind that can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to piece it all together on your own — and I left the call feeling like everything finally clicked. The level of detail was unlike anything I’ve experienced with an accountant before. We talked through corporate tax obligations, how different income types are treated, personal tax implications for shareholders, structuring for multiple partners, and more, and every single answer was specific, practical, and actually addressed the nuance behind each question. There was no hand-waving, no vague “it depends” without a real follow-up — just clear, confident, deeply informed guidance from someone who genuinely knows this space inside and out. Highly, highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()
Samantha B191 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I reached out looking for clarity on our corporate tax situation and honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but this call completely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we got on the phone, it was clear I was speaking with someone who truly knows their stuff. We covered so much ground in one conversation — corporate structuring, T2 filings, income characterization, dividend extraction versus salary, HST thresholds — and not once did I get a vague or generic answer. Everything was explained with real context and depth, connecting the corporate and personal tax sides in a way that gave us a full picture rather than just pieces of it. What stood out most was how thorough and unhurried the whole call felt — every question was met with a confident, well-thought-out response. If you’re a business owner navigating anything complex, I’d strongly recommend booking a consultation. This was exactly the kind of knowledgeable, no-nonsense guidance I needed, and I left feeling genuinely confident about the direction we’re heading.Posted on Google![]()

Can’t say enough good things about Faiq. He’s handled our corporate taxes for years and recently helped us through a CRA income tax audit.

I had an excellent consultation about setting up my IT services business. Faiq provided clear guidance on corporate structures, shareholder loans, HST registration timing, and the realities of tax deferral vs. elimination. He explained everything in plain language and helped me understand when incorporation makes sense for my scenario. His expertise around requirements and potential CRA audit preparation gave me confidence in planning ahead. If you're in need of a knowledgeable Woodbridge accountant and straightforward advice, I highly recommend reaching out.Posted on Google![]()

Faiq has been handling our corporate taxes for the past few years and when we got hit with a CRA tax audit last year, he guided us through the entire appeal process. We actually won the appeal! Throughout the whole CRA audit, Faiq was always punctual with meetings and kept us updated every step of the way. As a YouTube creator, it’s hard to find an accountant who understands our business model, but Faiq gets it. Highly recommend FShad CPA.Posted on Google![]()

The number one thing I look for in my daily life & in running my media company is “efficiency”. How fast can you get me from point A to point B in a stress free manner, while taking as much load as possible off my hands? Faiq completely blew me away with his experience.

Noble Dadiala1755 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
I wanted to take the time to thank our accountant for their wonderful experience. They helped us produce our company tax return that was accurate and complete. I didn't have any experience of filing taxes so they took the time to answer all of my questions. They were helpful throughout the process and really goes above and beyond what you would expect from a CPA. They helped me with my taxes this year, I had no idea how confusing it was! But they are super knowledgable, patient, and made sure I understood everything before moving on. If you're looking for someone who will just push your paper through without caring about you, you're not going to get that here. So glad I found them last year! ThanksPosted on Google![]()

I reached out to Mr. Faiq Shad inquiring about tax filing services and he was extremely responsive and professional straight from the beginning. Having a family with different complexities and needs, Faiq was with us the whole way to ensure our taxes are filed correctly. In addition, he was very knowledgeable and provided guidance to ensure not only are we paying the right amount for taxes but also plan for the following year etc. I never felt like I was going through anything alone and for the ease of mind and the level of service you receive, the price is incredibly fair. There's no one else I'd recommend than Faiq when it comes to tax and accounting needs. Thank you!!!Posted on Google![]()
