About Wise Numbers

A family-owned firm that explains your numbers, not only files them

Wise Numbers Consulting Inc. is a family-owned bookkeeping and tax services firm based in Guelph, Ontario. Vanessa Demitto founded it in 2019 as a sole proprietorship; it became a corporation in 2021 when her husband, Allan Demitto, joined as partner and accountant. Today the firm serves clients locally in Guelph, across Ontario and throughout Canada.

Our mission is simple: to give business owners the clarity and confidence that come from accurate financial information. Many owners struggle to keep their books up to date, read their financial statements or manage their taxes. We help them take back their time, avoid costly mistakes and focus on growing their business.

Wise Numbers is owner-operated, with Vanessa and Allan actively involved in both strategy and client service, supported by a team of bookkeepers, payroll specialists and accountants who share the same values: reliability, transparency and care.

Common questions

Before you call

The questions new clients ask first, answered from our own pages. Anything else, call the Guelph office and ask.

Do you file personal tax returns?

Yes, we offer personal tax services for all of our clients. If you have a corporation, we file the corporate income tax return and the personal tax return separately. If you are a sole proprietor or in a business partnership, we file your business income tax with your personal tax return, as per Canada Revenue Agency rules.

Can Wise Numbers help if my books are behind?

Yes, and we love working on this kind of project. We update all of your financial books and accounts so your records are current, then prepare financial statements and guide you on the next steps to maintain them.

Can you help me write the financial plan for my start-up business plan?

For sure. Our consulting services assist you in writing your business plan. The financial plan is where you show how viable the new business will be, which matters for bank loans, potential shareholders' approval and even start-up grants.

Do I need to register for GST/HST?

You have to register if both apply: you make taxable sales, leases or other supplies in Canada, and you are not a small supplier. You are a small supplier if you do not exceed the $30,000 sales threshold over four consecutive calendar quarters. Not sure whether past returns were filed correctly, or behind on filing? We can help with that as well.

As a sole proprietor, do I have to file?

According to the CRA, sole proprietors need to file a T1 if they have to pay taxes for the year, want EI special benefits on self-employment income, had a taxable capital gain or disposed of capital property, were told to file by the CRA, or are claiming a refund, the GST/HST credit, a refundable tax credit or the Canada Child Benefit.
