Local Businesses Good affordable accountant for a self employed individual

Upvotes

I've been freelancing for a few local production companies for the last year or so. I'm looking for a good accountant familiar with how to file as self employed and knows what things I might be able to claim as an expense that I might not know about.

I don't want someone who just collects receipts and checks all my boxes for me, I want someone who will go through how best to handle my finances and help me file effectively.

If you know anyone who might fit please send me their info and about how much they would charge! Thanks in advance!

Discussion Exploring Edmonton at night alone

Upvotes

I’m pretty new to Edmonton and idk if this is weird but one of my favourite things to do is just walk/run or rent an escooter and go down 107 Ave through Rogers Place, towards Hope Mission, Chinatown and then over to 118 Ave. I usually do it alone and pretty late at night, around midnight. I just find it really interesting seeing what downtown and the surrounding areas are actually like when most people are asleep. Like I’ve gone down 107 Ave and on the way back there’s a bunch of cops and then I hear someone got stabbed, I’ve seen people who look like they’re dealing outside convenience stores around Chinatown, and then on 118 Ave I’ll have random people whistling at me trying to get my attention. I’m a 5’10 150 lb dude so I’m not exactly intimidating lol, but honestly out of all the times I’ve done this nobody has really bothered me. I do have a car but it’s just not the same experience. You can’t really hear everything when you’re sitting in a car. I actually like hearing the sirens, people yelling/screaming, random noises and just seeing what’s going on around me. I guess it’s kinda eye opening seeing the city like this instead of just driving through it. Is this weird or does anyone else actually like doing stuff like this? currently posting as i’m getting ready to go out for my nightly routine loll.

Discussion Catalytic Converter questions

Upvotes

My catalytic converter failed, and I dont think I have to replace it?

Based on the info from the "Alberta automotive and light truck vehicle and inspection manual" (Iink below), I don't have to have a catalytic converter in Alberta? (is this correct?)

Does anyone know any Edmonton shops that will weld a straight pipe or do a "cat delete"?

Question What is your career with no degree?

Upvotes

For those of you who never got a university degree/college education, what do you do?
Im 25, went to esthetician school right out of high school. Worked in that field for awhile but it has gotten super saturated and hard to make decent amount. Ive still been doing it a bit on the side and now work full time as an admin/coordinator. Just trying to figure out my next steps! I would rather not go back to school as it is a huge expense that I cannot afford right now. Just wanting inspiration of what others have done!

Question When to expect first snow of the year?

Upvotes

Moved to Edmonton back in March from a way warmer part of the world, and I was wondering when the first snow of the year is projected for? Mainly trying to figure out so I have a deadline for buying winter gear (don’t have the money to buy everything at once), but also am just curious especially since its an El Nino year and I’m not sure how that might impact late fall/winter weather this far inland.

Question Legal Drag Racing

Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are rewatching the fast and furious movies and it’s making me want to drive these cars at least once in my life. The problem, I don’t have a car like this lol. Are there any tracks in or around Edmonton that I could try drifting/drag racing where they let you use the car? I know there are places in Vegas and stuff where it’s an option, but I’m hoping for one that is closer to home!

Question 3D Scan and Print

Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place that will scan and 3D print a plastic part?

The handle for my bottom freezer is breaking again. I've glued it 3 times. I don't think it will work again. The OEM part is $140 plus shipping.

Somehow I think 3D printing will be cheaper.

Commuting/Transit Metro Line Southwest Concept

Post image
Upvotes

So, my idea is to extend the metro line through the southwest area via Terwillegar Drive since the southwest area is growing, plus 2 subway tunnels is a good idea for the stations Fort Edmonton Park, Brookside/53 Avenue, and Windermere/Ambleside, and also, the stations Bulyea, Riverbend/Rabbit Hill, and Terwillegar are trenched and include long pedways to connect neighborhoods, and there should also be 2 new transit centres for Fort Edmonton Park and Windermere/Ambleside.

Question Looking for car mechanic

Upvotes

Hey Edmonton,

As it says in the title, I'm looking for a car mechanic. Someone who knows what they're doing and is looking for some extra work or work on the side, who charges a reasonable fee and is willing to let me source my own parts. Please don't recommend an overpriced shop. I'm disabled, and very very limited in what I can spend. I'm aiming to drive less and start taking transit more but I still need a reliable vehicle and am hoping to find a decent human here who is able to help me out. Thanks in advance!

Question Big bin event vs free eco station weekend

Upvotes

Whenever I've been to a free eco station weekend it's always been a crazy line... So long that half the time I end up coming back after the weekend and paying.

But I'm wondering if the big bin events are any better in terms of time? I have to get rid of a broken couch and a broken fridge so I'm hoping not to waste a trip.

Thanks!

Discussion For indoor playground owners

Upvotes

Not that I am entitled to it, but it would be great to hear about the margins to run these indoor playgrounds.

For the cost of admission (16-20/child), it adds up really quick for more than one kiddo...

We're not allowed outside for or drink - and some places don't even let me go to the car to eat and come back. My kids have special diets and can't eat from concession/restaurants -- even explaining this doesn't help and I've been told to take my bag to the car or leave.

So my plea is for some context and insight so I understand better, grow empathetic and want to return without feeling ripped off.

and I also beg -- why can't any of you at least have decent coffee?!?
