How it works

Three steps. You see every price before you agree, and you only pay for an offer you accept.

  1. Step 1

    Describe it, free

    Say what you need in a sentence or two. Posting costs nothing.

  2. Step 2

    Get offers from people who’ve done it

    Taskers who have done this before send an offer with their own price. Ask questions, then pick one.

  3. Step 3

    Pay, and it’s held until done

    Accept an offer and pay. Taskly holds the payment until you say the work is done.

Good questions

The things people ask before they post in Canada.

  • 01

    What does company set-up, tax and bookkeeping help cost in Canada?

    Most of it falls between C$100–700, depending on how much you need. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    Do I need a NUANS report to incorporate federally?

    Only for a named corporation. A numbered company, such as 1234567 Canada Inc., skips the name search. For a named one, Corporations Canada expects a NUANS report dated within 90 days of filing.

  • 03

    What do I need before starting a BC incorporation application?

    An approved Name Request or a plan to use a numbered company, the registered and records office addresses, director names and addresses, the share structure you want, and your BC Registries account login.

  • 04

    What is an input tax credit?

    It's the GST/HST you paid on business purchases, which a registrant can usually claim against the GST/HST collected on sales when filing a return. Keep receipts that show the supplier's GST/HST number.

  • 05

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 06

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.

  • 07

    What can’t a Tasker do here?

    Taskers help you prepare and understand. You file from your own account; nobody on Taskly represents you to a tax authority.

What do you need done?

Tell us in a sentence. People who’ve done it send offers.
