How We Tackle Your Tax Situation

Every client's different, but here's basically how we roll through your tax challenges

1

Discovery Chat

We sit down (or jump on a call) and really dig into what's going on with your finances. No judgment - we've seen it all. Whether you're behind on filings or just want to optimize what you're already doing, this is where we figure out the game plan.

2

Deep Dive Analysis

This is where we roll up our sleeves. We'll go through your books, past returns, international dealings if you've got 'em, and spot opportunities you're probably missing. Plus, we'll catch any red flags before CRA does.

3

Strategy Blueprint

We build you a custom tax roadmap. Not some cookie-cutter template - an actual strategy based on YOUR situation. Whether it's restructuring, income splitting, or navigating international tax treaties, we map it all out in plain English.

4

Implementation & Filing

We handle the paperwork, filings, and all that fun stuff. You just keep running your business while we make sure everything gets filed correctly and on time. If CRA comes knocking, don't sweat it - we'll handle the conversation.

5

Ongoing Optimization

Tax planning isn't a once-and-done thing. We check in regularly, adjust strategies when tax laws change (and they always do), and keep you ahead of the curve. Think of us as your tax GPS that updates when there's traffic ahead.

Questions We Get All The Time

Straight answers to the stuff everyone's wondering about

Honestly? It depends. We've saved clients anywhere from 15% to 40% of their tax bill, but your mileage will vary based on your situation. During our discovery chat, we'll give you a realistic estimate - no wild promises. What I can tell you is that most businesses leave money on the table because they don't know what deductions exist or how to structure things properly. That's where we come in.

No judgment here - we've helped dozens of clients catch up. The key is dealing with it sooner rather than later because penalties and interest keep piling up. We'll figure out exactly what's outstanding, get everything filed through CRA's voluntary disclosure program if needed, and set up a system so you don't fall behind again. The stress relief alone is worth it.

If you're doing ANY business outside Canada - selling to US customers, working with international clients, hiring remote workers abroad, or thinking about expanding - then yeah, you probably do. Cross-border taxation is where most people get tripped up and end up paying way more than necessary. We've navigated tax treaties with over 20 countries, so we know the shortcuts.

First off, don't panic - audits happen and they're not the end of the world. If you're our client and CRA comes knocking, we handle it. We'll represent you, deal with the auditor directly, provide all the necessary documentation, and make sure everything's squared away. Having proper representation during an audit usually means better outcomes and way less stress for you.

Classic question with no one-size-fits-all answer. Generally, if you're making over $50-60k profit annually, incorporation starts making sense from a tax perspective. You get access to the small business deduction, income splitting opportunities, and better liability protection. But there's more admin work and costs involved. We'll run the numbers for your specific situation and show you exactly when the math tips in favor of incorporating.

Most clients check in quarterly, which works well for staying on top of estimated taxes and adjusting strategies as your business evolves. But we're flexible - some clients want monthly touchpoints, others only need annual planning sessions. The important thing is having enough contact that we can be proactive instead of reactive. Nobody likes tax surprises in April.

We do flat fees for most services because hourly billing sucks for everyone. You know exactly what you're paying upfront, and we're not incentivized to drag things out. Complex cross-border stuff might have some project-based pricing, but we'll quote that clearly before starting any work. First consultation is always free - we're not gonna charge you to figure out if we're a good fit.
