Two ways to work with us.

Ongoing, as your finance department, or for a single project such as a restructuring, a purchase or a sale.

Year round

Your finance department

Bookkeeping, payroll, tax and advice in one relationship. Built for businesses that have outgrown year-end-only accounting but are not ready to hire a controller, a tax specialist and a CFO.

How the partnership works

One project

Strategic Projects

A restructuring, a purchase, a sale or a financing. Scoped around your goal, your records and your timeline, and coordinated with your lawyer and lender.

How a project is scoped

Five areas of work.

Filings run on a schedule. Structure, financing and advice come in when something changes. Most clients use more than one.

Where to start

Start with the decision in front of you.

  • Corporate cash

    I have extra cash sitting in my corporation

    Leaving cash in the corporation is often sensible, but passive investment income can grind down the small business deduction and change what the corporation pays. The real choice is between investing inside the operating company, moving funds up to a holding company, or paying it out, and it turns on what the money is for and when you need it.

  • Compensation

    Salary or dividends?

    There is no fixed rule. Salary is deductible to the corporation, builds RRSP room and CPP, and is what most lenders want to see when you apply for a mortgage. Dividends avoid payroll remittances and can be simpler, but carry no room. The right mix moves with corporate income, your personal cash needs and what is coming next.

  • Acquisition

    I am buying a business

    Shares or assets is the first question, and it changes the tax outcome for both sides, the liabilities you inherit and how the price can be financed. Vendors usually want shares and buyers usually want assets, which is why the structure gets negotiated rather than assumed. Settling it before the offer costs a fraction of unwinding it after.

  • Succession

    I want my children to take over one day

    Succession works better in stages than as one event. An estate freeze fixes today's value with you and lets future growth accrue to the next generation or a family trust, while you keep voting control. It has to happen while the value is still where you want it fixed, which is why waiting until retirement is usually the expensive version.

  • CRA

    I received a letter from the CRA

    Most letters are a request for support rather than an accusation, and the deadline on it matters more than the tone. What matters next is what was actually filed and what documentation stands behind it. Replying quickly with the wrong information is usually worse than replying properly.

  • Year end only

    Have I outgrown my current accountant?

    The usual signs are structural rather than personal. Information arrives after it is useful, nobody raises anything until the return is prepared, and the books, the tax work and the advice sit with three different people who do not speak to each other. That arrangement is fine for a simple business and expensive for a complex one.

Complexity matters more than size.

An incorporated professional with a holding company and a succession question is often a better fit for us than a larger business that only needs a year-end filing. See who we work with, by situation.
