Your Year-End Filing Checklist
A practical checklist to get your payroll and books ready before the year closes.
Reconcile your payroll
Confirm every pay run matches your general ledger, and that CPP, EI, and tax withholdings tie out for the year.
Prepare T4s early
Don't wait until February — reviewing employee data in December catches errors while there's still time to fix them.
Check accruals and benefits
Also confirm vacation accruals, bonuses, and any taxable benefits are recorded correctly before your final pay run.
A clean year-end means a faster, stress-free tax season.
