Many clients book a session when they’re asking questions like:
“Should I pay myself salary, dividends, or both?”
“Is it time to incorporate my business?”
“Is my current structure still appropriate?”
“How should I handle this rental property?”
“I’m earning more, but not sure how to take money out properly.”
“What’s a reasonable approach to paying myself this year?”
“Do I have a capital gain if I sell this property?”
If any of these sound familiar, a session can help you understand your options more clearly.

I’ve spent over a decade in public practice working with incorporated professionals and small business owners who want straightforward answers about their tax situations.
My focus is on explaining complex tax rules in plain language, so you can understand your options and make informed decisions.
I don’t provide bookkeeping or tax preparation through these sessions. The focus is entirely on advice and planning.
“This helped me understand the CRA rules much better.”
“I finally had clarity on what my options were.”
“The explanation was clear and easy to follow.”
“Straightforward, practical advice without any pressure.”

Do I need to be incorporated to book a session?
Most clients are incorporated or considering incorporation, but sessions can also cover sole proprietorship or rental property questions.
Is this tax preparation or filing?
No. These are advisory sessions only. Tax return preparation would require a separate engagement.
What if my question seems basic?
If it affects your business or taxes, it’s worth discussing.
Can I bring my spouse, partner, or bookkeeper?
Yes. Just include them when booking so everyone can attend.
What happens after I book?
You’ll receive a confirmation email with meeting details and a short questionnaire.
Do you offer ongoing services?
These sessions are standalone consultations. Full-service accounting is available under a separate engagement.
What if I book the wrong session length?
We can schedule a follow-up session if more time is needed.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. All discussions are handled in accordance with professional confidentiality standards.
What if I need more help later?
You can book additional sessions at any time.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Most clients book within 1–2 weeks, depending on availability.
What if I need to reschedule?
Provide at least 24 hours’ notice and we’ll reschedule at no charge.
