Tax Strategy & Compliance

Tax Is a Decision You Make Before Year-End, Not a Form You File After It.

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.

Case study

A $15M Acquisition, Structured Before the LOI

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

A Quarterly Retainer, Plus Project Work

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.

Year-End Shouldn't Be a Surprise.
