Running a business is hard enough without second-guessing the finances.

Most owners we meet aren't short on ambition — they're short on clarity. The numbers feel like a black box, and the decisions that matter most get made on gut feel.

01

You're never quite sure if you're paying too much tax.

Decisions get made reactively in March, not planned for across the year.

02

Your books are always a few months behind.

By the time you see the numbers, the moment to act on them has passed.

03

Your accountant files returns — but never explains them.

You get the paperwork done, but little insight into what the numbers actually mean for your decisions.

04

Big decisions feel like guesswork.

Hiring, pricing, expansion — you're making the call without a clear financial picture.

Signature specialty

Non-resident tax, done right.

Owning Canadian property or earning Canadian income as a non-resident comes with strict, high-stakes obligations — and costly penalties when they're missed. It's one of the most specialized corners of Canadian tax, and it's one we know deeply.

From rental properties to the sale of Canadian real estate, we help non-residents, foreign owners, and globally mobile clients stay compliant, meet every deadline, and avoid surprises with the CRA.

How we help
  • Rental income on Canadian property

    Section 216 returns, NR6 elections, and getting your withholding right from day one.

  • Selling Canadian real estate

    Certificates of compliance (often referred to as clearance certificates) handled end to end, keeping you informed along the way.

  • Withholding & NR4 reporting

    Part XIII withholding tax, remittances, and accurate annual NR4 filings.

  • Section 217 elections

    Determining when electing to file can reduce the tax you owe.

  • Cross-border & treaty matters

    Residency questions, departure tax, and tax-treaty positions for globally mobile clients.
