Every quote is scoped to your business.
Payroll complexity varies significantly by organization. Here are the key factors we consider when building your custom quote:
Number of Employees
Headcount is the primary pricing driver we'll confirm current and anticipated growth.
Industry Type
Construction, nonprofit, and retail carry different compliance obligations and pay structures.
Current Integrations
Your existing accounting software, HR tools, and time-tracking systems affect setup and migration scope.
Pay Frequency
Weekly payroll requires more touch points than monthly, frequency shapes the service load.
Provincial Scope
Multi-province employers require jurisdiction-specific compliance management at each location.
Pay Structure Complexity
Commissions, tips, overtime, union rates, and contractor payments each add scope.

Common questions
about payroll.
Not necessarily. We work within most major Canadian payroll platforms including QuickBooks, ADP, Wagepoint, Payworks, Knit People, Ceridian, and Dayforce. If your current software is working, we'll work in it. If a migration would save you money or reduce errors, we'll tell you and manage it for you.
Payroll processing is the act of running payroll, calculating hours, generating pay stubs, and initiating deposits. Payroll administration is the broader function: maintaining employee records, filing ROEs, managing remittances, tracking vacation accruals, year-end filing, and staying current with CRA requirements. Cobella Financial handles both.
We calculate CPP, EI, and income tax source deductions with each payroll run and track your remittance due dates based on your assigned CRA frequency (regular, quarterly, or accelerated). We'll provide you with the amounts and schedule to ensure timely remittances and avoid penalties.
Yes. We process T4s for employees and T4As for contractors, manage the appropriate withholding and filing obligations for each, and ensure your records clearly distinguish between the two, which matters a great deal for CRA compliance.
Absolutely. Nonprofit and government-funded payroll is one of our specialties. We understand funder reporting requirements, restricted fund salary allocations, and the documentation standards required for program-based staffing. This is built into our Enterprise tier for organizations of this type.
We own it and we fix it. Our process includes a reconciliation step before every payroll run to catch discrepancies. If an error occurs, we correct it immediately, communicate transparently, and adjust the next run accordingly. Our track record is strong — but our commitment to accountability is stronger.
Most clients are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. We collect your existing employee data, payroll history, and system access, then run a parallel check before going fully live. For mid-cycle starts or migrations, we schedule the transition to minimize disruption to your team.
Your quoted monthly fee covers all services listed in your tier. There are no hidden fees for standard payroll runs, remittances, or ROEs. Additional services outside your tier scope, such as off-cycle runs, retroactive adjustments, or system migrations — are quoted separately and disclosed upfront before any work begins.
