CERB, CEWS, CEBA, CECRA, TWS, EWS revenue limits, income limits, various subsidies… so much information, so many changes.

Not your typical tax preparer
Having someone in your corner who understands how Revenue Canada works, their policies and what they’re looking for in a return or follow-up query is invaluable. In addition to maximizing deductions, dealing with CRA reassessments and addressing prior year adjustments, you can find help to resolve tax issues, including multiple property planning, audits and US filing requirements.
But that’s often just the start of the client relationship, Tanya notes.
Once tax season is finished, it’s a good opportunity to revisit what happened over the year, look ahead to what may be coming, and to do a comprehensive review: What could you do differently to improve your overall financial health?
As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Certified Power Coach, Mediator and Conflict Coach, Certified Professional Consultant on Aging, a Chartered Financial Divorce Specialist, with certificates in ElderLaw, Collaborative Dispute & Resolution, and Negotiation, Tanya is a big believer in the importance of looking at the whole picture.
