Tax Strategy & Compliance
By the time your return is due, almost every meaningful choice has already been made for you. We work through the year, structure, remuneration, timing, so that filing season is paperwork rather than damage control.
Scope
Calculated every quarter so there are no surprises, then prepared, reviewed and filed at year-end.
Quarterly calculations, preparation, review and filing.
Payroll runs and remittances, T4, T4A and T5 slips, and ROEs.
Books kept in Xero, reconciled and ready when you need the numbers.
Provincial and federal annual returns, minute book, and director, officer and address changes.
An annual planning session, a tax plan built around it, and monitoring through the year.
We handle CRA reviews and queries and support you through an audit.
Federal and state returns for your US entity, prepared alongside your Canadian return rather than in isolation.
Where the entities sit, where the IP lives, and what the Canada–US tax treaty means for both. Decided before it’s expensive to change.
Onboarding American employees without creating a permanent establishment or a state registration problem you didn’t plan for.
Selling across state lines creates obligations before you incorporate there. We map where you have them.

Salary or dividends, holdcos, timing and structure. Senior advice whenever a decision has a tax consequence.
Case study
A founder came to us mid-conversation with a buyer. We modelled the after-tax outcome of three deal structures, share sale, asset sale, and a hybrid, including the lifetime capital gains exemption across the shareholder group, then worked with counsel through diligence. The gap between the best and worst structure was material enough to change the founder's retirement.

Engagement
Compliance and four planning touchpoints through the year on retainer. Transaction and structuring work is scoped and quoted as a project, in writing, before it starts.
