Pay What You Should. Not More.
Strategic Canadian tax planning for owner-managed businesses and their principals. Built around CCPC rules, not American frameworks. Proactive, not reactive.
Most business owners find out their tax bill in April. That's too late.
Tax planning isn't a year-end exercise. The decisions that reduce your tax bill are made throughout the year — compensation structure, timing of income and expenses, corporate investments, and how money flows between you and your company. By the time your accountant files your return, those decisions are already locked in.
You paid more corporate tax than you needed to because income wasn't timed correctly.
Your salary/dividend mix wasn't optimized — CRA got more than your family did.
Passive income inside your corporation triggered clawbacks you didn't see coming.
Ongoing strategy — not a once-a-year conversation.
Laurence's tax planning engagements are built into your monthly CFO or CAS relationship — not a separate add-on you call about in March. Every month, your tax position is tracked, your compensation is reviewed, and your corporate structure is working as hard as it should be.

CCPC Tax Planning
Maximize the small business deduction, manage passive income thresholds, and keep more money inside your corporation at the lowest rate.
Salary vs. Dividend Optimization
The right mix changes every year based on your income, your corporate earnings, and the latest federal and provincial rates. We run it every year — and adjust mid-year when it matters.
RDTOH & Passive Income Planning
Passive income inside your corporation affects your small business deduction. We track it, plan around it, and make sure you're drawing dividends at the right time.
Capital Gains & LCGE Planning
The Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption is one of the most valuable tax tools available to Canadian business owners. We make sure you qualify when it counts.
Family Tax Planning
Income splitting, spousal loans, family trusts, and shareholder structures — legal strategies to reduce the family's total tax burden.
Cross-Border Tax (Coming Soon)
Planning for Canadian business owners with US income, assets, or expansion plans. In development — ask about current availability.
Your personal return isn't simple. We treat it that way.
When you own a corporation, your personal tax return touches everything — dividends, salaries, capital gains, rental income, investment income. Laurence prepares and coordinates personal tax for owner-managers as part of the overall planning picture — not as an afterthought.
