Peter Herman CPA CA has in excess of 25 years experience serving the needs of small business. From tax and financial issues concerning small independent entrepreneurs, to planning for retirement and business succession I have dealt with it all. I have also had great success in appealing both to CRA and the tax court of Canada in those situations where CRA has overreached. Tax and business strategies can make a huge difference to the bottom line of any business or individual. We focus on putting all options on the table and making the client aware of the costs and benefits of each. For instance, income splitting between spouses, contributing to RRSP's or IPP's, whether to set up Tax Free Savings Account, what a client can do to limit his exposure to creditors and protect his retirement savings, what types of investments can be held in RRSP's - are there better uses for the money? Add to this the complexities of incorporation- Who should own shares of the corporation, should they be held in a trust or directly, how should money be withdrawn from a corporation? These types of issues can come up in an initial consultation, or could result from a closer scrutiny of the taxpayer's overall position. Either way, coming to my firm can only help your bottom line. I have helped individuals and business over the years and have seen my advice contribute to substantial growth in our clients financial resources. We would like to do the same for you.
