The service

This service in brief

Payroll is much more than just paying a salary: it involves calculating withholding taxes, submitting tax returns, tracking vacation time and taxable benefits, and preparing year-end statements. A mistake is costly, both in terms of penalties and the loss of employee trust.

With Bankeo, you can find the ideal accountant to manage your payroll, free of charge: the right match, rigorous and reliable, not just a number. We'll present you with as many accountants as needed and support you every step of the way. You never pay Bankeo; the fees are paid directly to the accountant.

Some key points for 2026: In Quebec, employers remit source deductions to both parties, to Revenu Québec (Quebec income tax, QPP, QPIP) and to the Canada Revenue Agency. Canada (Federal income tax, unemployment insurance), generally by the 15th of the month following payday. T4 slips and Relevé 1 slips must be filed by the last day of February. And late filing is costly: the IRS applies a progressive penalty of 3% to 10% of the amount owed, depending on the number of days the filing is late, in addition to interest.

What's included

  • Submissions are due on the prescribed dates to Revenu Québec and the CRA, generally the 15th of the following month.

The sequence

How does it work?

In Quebec, payroll involves regular remittances of source deductions to Revenu Québec and the Canada Revenue Agency. Canada ...as well as compliance with labour standards, including vacation pay of 4% (less than 3 years of continuous service) or 6% (3 years or more). Late filing incurs a penalty of 3% to 10% of the amount owed to the CRA, plus interest, and Revenu Québec applies its own penalties.

The goal is peace of mind: employees paid on time, accurate remittances made on the correct dates, and error-free T4 and Relevé 1 slips produced before the end of February. The accountant found through Bankeo manages this entire process and remains by your side throughout each payroll cycle.

The budget

What is the price?

According to the Bankeo Barometer (data from 2024-2026, 1,248 real cases), an accountant's fees range from $500 to $6,000 per year, with a median of approximately $2,000 per year, depending on the sector and the scope of the engagement. For payroll, the cost depends primarily on the number of employees and the frequency of pay cycles; you compare quotes before making a decision. Bankeo matching remains free.

Number of employees and payroll frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), management of vacations, taxable benefits, bonuses and commissions, remittances to Revenu Québec and the CRA, production of year-end slips (T4 and Relevé 1) and payroll software used.

Bankeo is free and without obligation. You only pay the accountant's fees directly, once you have chosen to work together.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

At what point does it become worthwhile to outsource payroll?

From the very first employee, payroll involves withholding tax and remittances that need to be managed on the correct dates. Delegating this task prevents errors and frees up your time, regardless of team size.

How soon can you entrust your salary to an accountant?

You fill out your request in just a few minutes and we'll present you with the ideal accountant, often within 48 hours. The payroll transition is then planned with them, ideally between two cycles, so your employees won't notice any difference.

What are the most common payroll errors?

Late remittances of source deductions (penalty of 3% to 10% to the CRA), incorrectly calculated vacation pay (4% or 6% depending on seniority), overlooked taxable benefits, and T4 slips and Relevé 1 slips filed after the end of February. A meticulous accountant will help you avoid all of these mistakes.

Does the accountant produce the year-end statements?

Yes: Quebec slips (Relevé 1) and federal T4 slips are included in the service and are delivered no later than the last day of February. Your employees receive accurate documents on time.

Bankeo matching is free for you, with no hidden fees: you only pay your accountant's fees directly to them, and you can compare proposals before deciding, with no obligation.
